Coral reefs have entered an era of 'ecological crisis' as climate change drives catastrophic
reef loss worldwide. Coral growth and stress susceptibility are regulated by their …

Symbiodinium is a diverse genus of unicellular dinoflagellate symbionts associating with
various marine protists and invertebrates. Although the broadscale diversity and …

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 …

Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae occupy multiple ecological niches on tropical,
subtropical, and temperate reefs, ranging from species that are exclusively free-living to …

Among the most successful microeukaryotes to form mutualisms with animals are
dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae. These photosynthetic symbioses drive …

Reef-building corals depend on symbiotic mutualisms with photosynthetic dinoflagellates in
the genus Symbiodinium. This large microalgal group comprises many highly divergent …

The dinoflagellate-coral partnership influences the coral holobiont's tolerance to thermal
stress and bleaching. However, the comparative roles of host genetic versus environmental …

Speculation surrounds the importance of ecologically cryptic Symbiodinium
spp.(dinoflagellates) that occur at low abundances in reef-building corals and in the …

A formal Symbiodinium species taxonomy enhances understanding of the physiology and
ecology of coral–dinoflagellate symbioses. Here we formally define a new species of stress …
