Corals associate not only with dinoflagellates, which are their algal endosymbionts and
which have been extensively studied over the past four decades, but also with a variety of …

Corals live in a complex, multipartite symbiosis with diverse microbes across kingdoms,
some of which are implicated in vital functions, such as those related to resilience against …

The global diversity of fungi has been estimated between 2 to 11 million species, of which
only about 155 000 have been named. Most fungi are invisible to the unaided eye, but they …

Fungi represent a large proportion of the genetic diversity on Earth and fungal activity
influences the structure of plant and animal communities, as well as rates of ecosystem …

In the last two decades, genetic and genomic studies have revealed the astonishing
diversity and ubiquity of microorganisms. Emergence and expansion of the human …

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 intimate relationship between scleractinian corals and their associated microorganisms
is fundamental to healthy coral reef ecosystems. Coral‐associated microbes …

Abstract Agaricomycetes includes ca. 21,000 described species of mushroom-forming fungi
that function as decayers, pathogens, and mutualists in both terrestrial and aquatic habitats …

Mycologists have been fascinated with marine fungi for more than 70 years now. An
enormous volume of information on marine fungi is presently available. We can now say …

Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–
microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced …
