The symbiotic association between the coral animal and its endosymbiotic dinoflagellate
partner Symbiodinium is central to the success of corals. However, an array of other …

Coral reef ecosystems thrive in tropical oligotrophic oceans because of the relationship
between corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae called Symbiodinium …

The advent of molecular data has transformed the science of organizing and studying life on
Earth. Genetics-based evidence provides fundamental insights into the diversity, ecology …

At the current rate of climate change, it is unlikely that multicellular organisms will be able to
adapt to changing environmental conditions through genetic recombination and natural …

Coastal oceans are increasingly eutrophic, warm and acidic through the addition of
anthropogenic nitrogen and carbon, respectively. Among the most sensitive taxa to these …

Coral reefs are both exceptionally biodiverse and threatened by climate change and other
human activities. Here, we review population genomic processes in coral reef taxa and their …

Reef-building corals provide the foundation for the structural and biological diversity of coral-
reef ecosystems. These massive biological structures, which can be seen from space, are …

Highlights•Microalgae, key primary producers in aquatic ecosystems, interact extensively
with bacteria.•Metagenomics indicate certain bacterial families are more likely to associate …

Symbiotic interactions occur in all domains of life, providing organisms with resources to
adapt to new habitats. A prime example is the endosymbiosis between corals and …

Climate change is dramatically changing ecosystem composition and productivity, leading
scientists to consider the best approaches to map natural resistance and foster ecosystem …
