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 …

Light, temperature, photosynthesis, heterotrophy, and the lower depth limits of mesophotic coral ecosystems
The attenuation of light with increasing depth, along with reduced exposure to wave stress,
plays an important role in vertically structuring coral reef communities. Benthic …

Morphological traits can track coral reef responses to the Anthropocene
Susceptibility to human‐driven environmental changes is mediated by species traits.
Therefore, identifying traits that predict organism performance, ecosystem function and …

Key functional role of the optical properties of coral skeletons in coral ecology and evolution
Multiple scattering of light on coral skeleton enhances light absorption efficiency of coral
symbionts and plays a key role in the regulation of their internal diffuse light field. To …
