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 …

How corals made rocks through the ages
Hard, or stony, corals make rocks that can, on geological time scales, lead to the formation of
massive reefs in shallow tropical and subtropical seas. In both historical and contemporary …

The Coral Trait Database, a curated database of trait information for coral species from the global oceans
Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …

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 …

Endosymbiotic flexibility associates with environmental sensitivity in scleractinian corals
Flexibility in biological systems is seen as an important driver of macro-ecosystem function
and stability. Spatially constrained endosymbiotic settings, however, are less studied …

Is the coral‐algae symbiosis really 'mutually beneficial'for the partners?
SA Wooldridge - BioEssays, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
The consideration of 'mutual benefits' and partner cooperation have long been the accepted
standpoint from which to draw inference about the onset, maintenance and breakdown of …
