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 …

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 …

Evidence for a host role in thermotolerance divergence between populations of the mustard hill coral (Porites astreoides) from different reef environments
Studying the mechanisms that enable coral populations to inhabit spatially varying thermal
environments can help evaluate how they will respond in time to the effects of global climate …

Long prereproductive selection and divergence by depth in a Caribbean candelabrum coral
Long-lived corals, the foundation of modern reefs, often follow ecological gradients, so that
populations or sister species segregate by habitat. Adaptive divergence maintains sympatric …

Population genetic data of a model symbiotic cnidarian system reveal remarkable symbiotic specificity and vectored introductions across ocean basins
Abstract The Aiptasia–Symbiodinium symbiosis is a promising model for experimental
studies of cnidarian–dinoflagellate associations, yet relatively little is known regarding the …

Reef endemism, host specificity and temporal stability in populations of symbiotic dinoflagellates from two ecologically dominant Caribbean corals
Background The dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium forms symbioses with numerous
protistan and invertebrate metazoan hosts. However, few data on symbiont genetic structure …

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 …

Novel genetic diversity through somatic mutations: fuel for adaptation of reef corals?
Adaptation of reef corals to climate change is an issue of much debate, and often viewed as
too slow a process to be of relevance over decadal time scales. This notion is based on the …

Host population genetic structure and zooxanthellae diversity of two reef-building coral species along the Florida Reef Tract and wider Caribbean
In preparation for a large-scale coral restoration project, we surveyed host population
genetic structure and symbiont diversity of two reef-building corals in four reef zones along …
