Zooxanthellate corals (ie those harbouring Symbiodinium) are the main builders of the
world's shallow‐water marine coral reefs. They represent intimate diverse symbioses …

Stony corals build the framework of coral reefs, ecosystems of immense ecological and
economic importance. The existence of these ecosystems is threatened by climate change …

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 …

The most diverse marine ecosystems, coral reefs, depend upon a functional symbiosis
between a cnidarian animal host (the coral) and intracellular photosynthetic dinoflagellate …

The relationship between corals and dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium is
fundamental to the functioning of coral ecosystems. It has been suggested that reef corals …

The persistence of coral reef ecosystems relies on the symbiotic relationship between
scleractinian corals and intracellular, photosynthetic dinoflagellates in the genus …

Bursts in species diversification are well documented among animals and plants, yet few
studies have assessed recent adaptive radiations of eukaryotic microbes. Consequently, we …

Human-induced environmental changes have ushered in the rapid decline of coral reef
ecosystems, particularly by disrupting the symbioses between reef-building corals and their …

High sea surface temperatures often lead to coral bleaching wherein reef-building corals
lose significant numbers of their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae). These …

Much of what we know about speciation comes from detailed studies of well‐known model
systems. Although there have been several important syntheses on speciation, few (if any) …
