Coral reefs have entered an era of 'ecological crisis' as climate change drives catastrophic
reef loss worldwide. Coral growth and stress susceptibility are regulated by their …

Among the most successful microeukaryotes to form mutualisms with animals are
dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae. These photosynthetic symbioses drive …

Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae occupy multiple ecological niches on tropical,
subtropical, and temperate reefs, ranging from species that are exclusively free-living to …

The association between corals and photosynthetic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium spp.) is
the key to the success of reef ecosystems in highly oligotrophic environments, but it is also …

Corals rely on photosynthesis by their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium spp.) to
form the basis of tropical coral reefs. High sea surface temperatures driven by climate …

Finding coral reefs resilient to climate warming is challenging given the large spatial scale of
reef ecosystems. Methods are needed to predict the location of corals with heritable …

Symbiodiniaceae form associations with extra-and intracellular bacterial symbionts, both in
culture and in symbiosis with corals. Bacterial associates can regulate Symbiodiniaceae …

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

Dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium underpin the survival and ecological success of
corals. The use of cultured strains has been particularly important to disentangle the …

The flexibility to associate with more than one symbiont may considerably expand a host's
niche breadth. Coral animals and dinoflagellate micro-algae represent one of the most …
