Thirty years of coral heat-stress experiments: a review of methods
For over three decades, scientists have conducted heat-stress experiments to predict how
coral will respond to ocean warming due to global climate change. However, there are often …

Host–symbiont combinations dictate the photo-physiological response of reef-building corals to thermal stress
High sea surface temperatures often lead to coral bleaching wherein reef-building corals
lose significant numbers of their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae). These …

Symbiosis maintenance in the facultative coral, Oculina arbuscula, relies on nitrogen cycling, cell cycle modulation, and immunity
Symbiosis with unicellular algae in the family Symbiodiniaceae is common across tropical
marine invertebrates. Reef-building corals offer a clear example of cellular dysfunction …
