The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of
coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of …

Corals are animals that form close mutualistic associations with endosymbiotic
photosynthetic algae of the genus Symbiodinium. Together they provide the calcium …

Coral reefs are highly diverse ecosystems that thrive in nutrient-poor waters, a phenomenon
frequently referred to as the Darwin paradox. The energy demand of coral animal hosts can …

We report for the first time the ingestion of microplastics by scleractinian corals, and the
presence of microplastics in coral reef waters adjacent to inshore reefs on Australia's Great …

The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular
dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In …

Climate warming is occurring at a rate not experienced by life on Earth for 10 s of millions of
years, and it is unknown whether the coral‐dinoflagellate (Symbiodinium spp.) symbiosis …

The impact of microplastics (MPs) on reef-building corals are still largely unknown. The
scientific literature provides evidence from lab feeding trials that coral may ingest MPs …

Coral reefs are highly endangered ecosystems. The identification and quantification of
potential stress factors are essential to protect them. UV filters from sunscreens that are …

This study investigates carbon dioxide flux associated with calcification, photosynthesis and
respiration on a coral reef atoll near Okinawa, Japan. Metabolic activity and nutrient …

Coral reefs are under major threat from ocean warming. When temperatures become too
high corals bleach, expelling their symbiotic, photosynthetic microalgae (Symbiodinium) …
