Population genetics of reef coral endosymbionts (Symbiodinium, Dinophyceae)
Symbiodinium is a diverse genus of unicellular dinoflagellate symbionts associating with
various marine protists and invertebrates. Although the broadscale diversity and …

Formal recognition of host‐generalist species of dinoflagellate (Cladocopium, Symbiodiniaceae) mutualistic with Indo‐Pacific reef corals
The existence of widespread species with the capacity to endure diverse, or variable,
environments are of importance to ecological and genetic research, and conservation. Such …

Building consensus around the assessment and interpretation of Symbiodiniaceae diversity
Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae occupy multiple ecological niches on tropical,
subtropical, and temperate reefs, ranging from species that are exclusively free-living to …

Host-specialist lineages dominate the adaptive radiation of reef coral endosymbionts
Bursts in species diversification are well documented among animals and plants, yet few
studies have assessed recent adaptive radiations of eukaryotic microbes. Consequently, we …

Mutualistic microalgae co-diversify with reef corals that acquire symbionts during egg development
The application of molecular genetics has reinvigorated and improved how species are
defined and investigated scientifically, especially for morphologically cryptic micro …

The extended phenotypes of marine symbioses: ecological and evolutionary consequences of intraspecific genetic diversity in coral–algal associations
Reef-building corals owe much of their success to a symbiosis with dinoflagellate
microalgae in the genus Symbiodinium. In this association, the performance of each …
