Background Microbiome manipulation could enhance heat tolerance and help corals
survive the pressures of ocean warming. We conducted coral microbiome transplantation …

Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems characterised by biogenic three‐
dimensional structures formed by suspension feeders such as corals, gorgonians, sponges …

Aims Fourteen percent of all living coral, equivalent to more than all the coral on the Great
Barrier Reef, has died in the past decade as a result of climate change‐driven bleaching …

Iron (Fe) is essential to the physiology and growth of marine phytoplankton. It remains
unclear how important iron is to the functional ecology of symbiotic dinoflagellates in the …

Anthropogenic climate change threatens corals globally and both high and low
temperatures are known to induce coral bleaching. However, coral stress responses across …

Mutualistic symbioses between cnidarians and photosynthetic algae are modulated by
complex interactions between host immunity and environmental conditions. Here, we …

For animals that harbor photosynthetic symbionts within their tissues, such as corals, the
different relative contributions of autotrophy versus heterotrophy to organismal energetic …

Scleractinian corals form the foundation of coral reefs by acquiring autotrophic nutrition from
photosynthetic endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) and use feeding to obtain additional …

Octocorals represent a major alternative group in the benthic community of reefs that have
diverged from hexacoral dominance. Despite their phototrophic symbionts, supplementing …

Globally tropical Scleractinian corals have been a focal point for discussions on the impact
of a changing climate on marine ecosystems and biodiversity. Research into tropical …
