All animals on Earth form associations with microorganisms, including protists, bacteria,
archaea, fungi, and viruses. In the ocean, animal–microbial relationships were historically …

Reef-building corals provide the foundation for the structural and biological diversity of coral-
reef ecosystems. These massive biological structures, which can be seen from space, are …

Coastal oceans are increasingly eutrophic, warm and acidic through the addition of
anthropogenic nitrogen and carbon, respectively. Among the most sensitive taxa to these …

Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …

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

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

Octocorals are one of the most ubiquitous benthic organisms in marine ecosystems from the
shallow tropics to the Antarctic deep sea, providing habitat for numerous organisms as well …

Climate warming is occurring at a rate not experienced by life on Earth for 10 s of millions of
years, and it is unknown whether the coral‐dinoflagellate (Symbiodinium spp.) symbiosis …

As coral reefs struggle to survive under climate change, it is crucial to know whether they
have the capacity to withstand changing conditions, particularly increasing seawater …

Abstract Background The marine dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium, is a well-known
photosynthetic partner for coral and other diverse, non-photosynthetic hosts in subtropical …
