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 …

The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular
dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In …

Despite the enormous ecological and economic importance of coral reefs, the keystone
organisms in their establishment, the scleractinian corals, increasingly face a range of …

Cnidarian bleaching is a breakdown in the mutualistic symbiosis between host Cnidarians,
such as reef building corals, and their unicellular photosynthetic dinoflagellate symbionts …

Coral bleaching caused by global warming is one of the major threats to coral reefs. Very
recently, research has focused on the possibility of corals switching symbionts as a means of …

Throughout the natural world, organisms have responded to predators, inadequate
resources, or inclement conditions by forming ongoing mutually beneficial partnerships--or …

Unprecedented changes in coral reef systems have focused attention on a wide range of
stressors on local, regional, and global spatial scales but global climate change resulting in …

Nanoparticulate titanium dioxide (TiO2) is highly photoactive, and its function as a
photocatalyst drives much of the application demand for TiO2. Because TiO2 generates …

The global loss and degradation of coral reefs, as a result of intensified frequency and
severity of bleaching events, is a major concern. Evidence of heat stress affecting corals …

The declining health of coral reefs worldwide is likely to intensify in response to continued
anthropogenic disturbance from coastal development, pollution, and climate change. In …
