The mutualistic relationship between corals and their dinoflagellate endosymbionts is a key
factor in the evolutionary success of hermatypic (reef building) corals. The endosymbiotic …

Enrichment of reef environments with dissolved inorganic nutrients is considered a major
threat to the survival of corals living in symbiosis with dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium sp.). We …

Global warming has caused the degradation of coral reefs around the world. While stress-
tolerant corals have demonstrated the ability to acclimatize to ocean warming, it remains …

The metabolic symbiosis with photosynthetic algae allows corals to thrive in the oligotrophic
environments of tropical seas. Different aspects of this relationship have been investigated …
