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.

Marine Heatwaves Transform Coral Symbioses With Enduring Effects. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Marine heatwaves are disrupting coral–algal symbioses, yet their long‐term effects remain poorly understood. Using a decade‐long survey (2013–2023), we document a lasting transformation of symbiont assemblages, evidence of a local symbiont extinction, and indications that local human disturbance may impede symbiont recovery following a major marine ...

Concordant Patterns of Population Genetic Structure and Symbiont Communities in a Broadcasting Spawning Coral Along a Western Australian Fringing Reef. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We explored fine‐scale patterns of connectivity and symbiont associations across the Ningaloo reefscape to inform on post‐disturbance recovery, larval dispersal capabilities, and recruitment dynamics. We detected low but significant population genetic structure among sample sites spread across Ningaloo Reef with the highest diversity in southern sites.

Antibiotics Alter Pocillopora Coral-Symbiodiniaceae-Bacteria Interactions and Cause Microbial Dysbiosis During Heat Stress

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Symbioses between eukaryotes and their associated microbial communities are fundamental processes that affect organisms’ ecology and evolution. A unique example of this is reef-building corals that maintain symbiotic associations with dinoflagellate ...

Metaproteome Analysis of Short‐Term Thermal Stress in Three Sympatric Coral Species Reveals Divergent Host Responses [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Short‐term thermal stress triggers distinct molecular responses in three sympatric coral species with contrasting thermal resilience. Proteomic and metabolomic profiling reveal both species‐specific and limited shared pathways underlying these stress responses.

Improved Cladocopium goreaui Genome Assembly Reveals Features of a Facultative Coral Symbiont and the Complex Evolutionary History of Dinoflagellate Genes

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

Symbiodiniaceae and Bacterial Microbiome Dynamics Differentially Impact the Survival of Dominant Reef-Flat Porites Corals. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
DNA metabarcoding revealed significant shifts in the dominant Symbiodiniaceae and bacteria of Porites spp. undergoing transplantation. Porites lobata colonies that experienced shifts in their microbial communities had higher coral colony partial mortality 18 weeks after transplantation.

Seasonal Variation in In Hospite but Not Free-Living, Symbiodiniaceae Communities Around Hainan Island, China [PDF]

Microorganisms
Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by global climate change, and mass bleaching and mortality events caused by elevated seawater temperature have led to coral loss worldwide. Hainan Island hosts extensive coral reef ecosystems in China, yet seasonal

Dual urea utilization enzyme systems in Symbiodiniaceae coral symbionts under warming [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background Urea has been shown to be important as a nitrogen (N) nutrient for coral holobionts, but the mechanism underpinning urea utilization by symbiotic algae is not fully understood.

Coral Skeletal Cores as Windows Into Past Symbiodiniaceae Community Dynamics. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Stony corals rely on their association with symbiotic algae for their growth and health. However, corals can lose these symbionts in response to heat stress and bleach, but they can also recover from bleaching and associate with new, more tolerant symbionts.
