Global climate change and localized anthropogenic stressors are driving rapid declines in
coral reef health. In vitro experiments have been fundamental in providing insight into how …

Among the most successful microeukaryotes to form mutualisms with animals are
dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae. These photosynthetic symbioses drive …

Global degradation of coral reefs has increased the urgency of identifying stress-tolerant
coral populations, to enhance understanding of the biology driving stress tolerance, as well …

Mass bleaching events are growing in duration and intensity. Besides causing extensive
mortality, the progressively shorter time between events disrupts the ability of reefs to …

Dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium express broad diversity in both genetic identity
(phylogeny) and photosynthetic function to presumably optimize ecological success across …

The peculiar shallow-water reefs of the Tropical Southwestern Atlantic Ocean have thrived in
conditions considered suboptimal (eg, moderate turbidity, higher level of nutrients, and …

Increased seawater pCO2, and in turn 'ocean acidification'(OA), is predicted to profoundly
impact marine ecosystem diversity and function this century. Much research has already …

Phase shift, resulting from coral reef degradation, has been frequently recorded on reefs in
optimal conditions, while marginal reefs were considered more resistant due to few records …

Symbiosis between reef-building corals and unicellular algae (Symbiodiniaceae) fuels the
growth and productivity of corals reefs. Capacity for Symbiodiniaceae to fix inorganic carbon …

Over the past two decades, our knowledge of Symbiodinium genetic diversity and ecological
distribution has grown at an incredible pace, while the physiological diversity and how it may …
