Stony corals are poster child holobionts due to their intimate association with diverse
microorganisms from all domains of life. We are only beginning to understand the diverse …

Stony corals, the engines and engineers of reef ecosystems, face unprecedented threats
from anthropogenic environmental change. Corals are holobionts that comprise the …

Coral reefs are extremely vulnerable to ocean warming, which triggers coral bleaching—the
loss of endosymbiotic microalgae (Symbiodiniaceae) from coral tissues, often leading to …

Coral microhabitats are colonized by a myriad of microorganisms, including diverse bacteria
which are essential for host functioning and survival. However, the location, transmission …

Understanding how diversity evolves and is maintained is critical to predicting the future
trajectories of ecosystems under climate change; however, our understanding of these …

Multicellular eukaryotic organisms are hosts to communities of bacteria that reside on or
inside their tissues. Often the eukaryotic members of the system contribute to high …

Microbial diversity has been extensively explored in reef-building corals. However, the
functional roles of coral-associated microorganisms remain poorly elucidated. Here, we …

Corals have complex symbiotic associations that can be influenced by the environment. We
compare symbiotic dinoflagellate (family: Symbiodiniaceae) associations and the …

A limited number of bacteria are able to colonize the nuclei of eukaryotes.'Candidatus
Endonucleobacter'infects the nuclei of deep-sea mussels, where it replicates to≥ 80,000 …

Corals rely on a wide range of microorganisms for their functioning, including intracellular
dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) and bacteria. Marine heatwaves trigger the loss of …
