Fine‐Scale Geographic Variation of Cladocopium in Acropora hyacinthus Across the Palauan Archipelago [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionSymbiont genotype plays a vital role in the ability of a coral host to tolerate rising ocean temperatures, with some members of the family Symbiodiniaceae possessing more thermal tolerance than others.

Diversity of Three Small Type’s Giant Clams and Their Associated Endosymbiotic Symbiodiniaceae at Hainan and Xisha Islands, South China Sea [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Giant clams are found in a mutualistic association with Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates, however, the diversity of the giant clams, as well as the diversity and distribution of Symbiodiniaceae in different Tridacnine species remain relatively poorly ...

Multi-gene incongruence consistent with hybridisation in Cladocopium (Symbiodiniaceae), an ecologically important genus of coral reef symbionts [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Coral reefs rely on their intracellular dinoflagellate symbionts (family Symbiodiniaceae) for nutritional provision in nutrient-poor waters, yet this association is threatened by thermally stressful conditions. Despite this, the evolutionary potential of

Differential Affinities of a Pocillopora damicornis Galectin to Five Genera of Symbiodiniaceae at Different Temperatures [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The symbiosis of coral-Symbiodiniaceae is the quintessential basis of the coral reef ecosystem, and its breakdown results in coral bleaching, one of the most severe ecological catastrophes in the ocean.

Nitrogen source type modulates heat stress response in coral symbiont (Cladocopium goreaui)
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyOcean warming due to climate change endangers coral reefs, and regional nitrogen overloading exacerbates the vulnerability of reef-building corals as the dual stress disrupts coral–Symbiodiniaceae mutualism.

Microorganisms, 2022 Dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae are crucial photosymbionts in corals and other marine organisms. Of these, Cladocopium goreaui is one of the most dominant symbiont species in the Indo-Pacific. Here, we present an improved genome assembly of

Experimental evolution of the coral algal endosymbiont, Cladocopium goreaui: lessons learnt across a decade of stress experiments to enhance coral heat tolerance [PDF]
Restoration Ecology, 2021 Projected increases in sea surface temperatures will exceed corals' ability to withstand heat stress within this century. Experimental evolution of cultured symbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) at high temperatures followed by reintroduction into corals can ...

Photoendosymbiosis of the Blue Subtropical Montipora Corals of Norfolk Island, South Pacific [PDF]
MicroorganismsCorals exhibit complex and diverse relationships with dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae. Montiporid corals within Norfolk Island’s shallow water lagoonal reef systems have been observed to turn a deep fluorescent blue during winter ...
