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 …

Mutualistic nutritional symbioses are widespread in marine ecosystems. They involve the
association of a host organism (algae, protists, or marine invertebrates) with symbiotic …

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 …

In cnidarian-Symbiodiniaceae symbioses, algal endosymbiont population control within the
host is needed to sustain a symbiotic relationship. However, the molecular mechanisms that …

Metabolite exchange is fundamental to the viability of the cnidarian–Symbiodiniaceae
symbiosis and survival of coral reefs. Coral holobiont tolerance to environmental change …

Dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium express broad diversity in both genetic identity
(phylogeny) and photosynthetic function to presumably optimize ecological success across …

Reef corals are mixotrophic organisms relying on symbiont-derived photoautotrophy and
water column heterotrophy. Coral endosymbionts (Family: Symbiodiniaceae), while typically …

Reef‐building corals in the genus Porites are one of the most important constituents of Indo‐
Pacific reefs. Many species within this genus tolerate abnormally warm water and exhibit …

Some corals may become more resistant to bleaching by shuffling their Symbiodiniaceae
communities toward thermally tolerant species, and manipulations to boost the abundance …

Symbiotic scleractinian corals are particularly affected by climate change stress and respond
by bleaching (losing their symbiotic dinoflagellate partners). Recently, the energetic status of …
