The intracellular coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis is the engine that underpins the success of
coral reefs, one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet. However, the breakdown of …

Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

Corals are fundamental ecosystem engineers, creating large, intricate reefs that support
diverse and abundant marine life. At the core of a healthy coral animal is a dynamic …

Coral reefs are highly diverse ecosystems that thrive in nutrient-poor waters, a phenomenon
frequently referred to as the Darwin paradox. The energy demand of coral animal hosts can …

Corals are animals that form close mutualistic associations with endosymbiotic
photosynthetic algae of the genus Symbiodinium. Together they provide the calcium …

Despite half a century of research, the biology of dinoflagellates remains enigmatic: they
defy many functional and genetic traits attributed to typical eukaryotic cells. Genomic …

Plants rapidly release photoassimilated carbon (C) to the soil via direct root exudation and
associated mycorrhizal fungi, with both pathways promoting plant nutrient availability. This …

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) has become an increasingly utilized tool in
biologically relevant studies. Of these, high lateral resolution methodologies using the …

In the last two decades, genetic and genomic studies have revealed the astonishing
diversity and ubiquity of microorganisms. Emergence and expansion of the human …

Symbiotic associations with Symbiodiniaceae have evolved independently across a diverse
range of cnidarian taxa including reef-building corals, sea anemones, and jellyfish, yet the …
