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 …

Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

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

Coral reefs are among the most diverse and ecologically important biomes on the planet.
Most coral species rely on the partnership with dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium …

The coral holobiont is a complex assemblage of organisms spanning a diverse taxonomic
range including a cnidarian host, as well as various dinoflagellate, prokaryotic and acellular …

We used an integrative genetics approach using sequences of (1) nuclear ribosomal rDNA
(internal transcribed spacers and partial large subunit rDNA),(2) single-copy microsatellite …

Ribosomal DNA sequence data abounds from numerous studies on the dinoflagellate
endosymbionts of corals, and yet the multi-copy nature and intragenomic variability of rRNA …

Traditional approaches for describing species of morphologically cryptic and often
unculturable forms of endosymbiotic dinoflagellates are problematic. Two new species in the …

The mutualistic symbioses between reef‐building corals and micro‐algae form the basis of
coral reef ecosystems, yet recent environmental changes threaten their survival. Diversity in …

The capacity of coral-dinoflagellate mutualisms to adapt to a changing climate relies in part
on standing variation in host and symbiont populations, but rarely have the interactions …
