Diversity of Symbiodiniaceae in 15 Coral Species From the Southern South China Sea: Potential Relationship With Coral Thermal Adaptability

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
It is well-known that the adaptability of coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis to thermal stress varies among coral species, but the cause and/or mechanism behind it are not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to explore this issue based on zooxanthellae

Illuminating Deep Reef Refugia: Horizontal and Vertical Genomic Connectivity of Seriatopora hystrix in the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Shallow coral reefs are under threat from anthropogenic stress and climate change. Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs), found in deeper, cooler and less impacted waters, are proposed as potential refugia or larval sources for shallow reefs. However, this hypothesis of such deep‐reef refugia is now controversial because their effectiveness is ...

Diversity of Coral-Associated Fauna [PDF]

, 2020
Coral reefs are acknowledged for the beauty of their organisms, which has made this natural ecosystem one of the most appreciated on Earth. It is believed to be the richest in terms of species diversity and species interactions, at least in theory since ...

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Marine heatwaves modulate the genotypic and physiological responses of reef‐building corals to subsequent heat stress

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Back‐to‐back marine heatwaves in 2016 and 2017 resulted in severe coral bleaching and mortality across the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Encouragingly, some corals that survived these events exhibit increased bleaching resistance and may represent thermally ...

Mutualistic Interactions between Dinoflagellates and Pigmented Bacteria Mitigate Environmental Stress

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Scleractinian corals form symbiotic relationships with a variety of microorganisms, including endosymbiotic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae, and with bacteria, which are collectively termed coral holobionts.

Monoclonal Culture and Characterization of Symbiodiniaceae C1 Strain From the Scleractinian Coral Galaxea fascicularis

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
The symbiosis between cnidarian hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae (i.e., zooxanthellae) provides the energy foundation of coral reef ecosystems in oligotrophic waters.

Heat-evolved microalgal symbionts increase thermal bleaching tolerance of coral juveniles without a trade-off against growth [PDF]

, 2023
Global climate change is threatening the persistence of coral reefs as associated summer heatwaves trigger the loss of microalgal endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae) from the coral tissues, or coral bleaching.

Acute Heat Priming Dampens Gene Expression Response to Thermal Stress in a Widespread Acropora Coral

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
(a) Experimental design. Corals from 10 genotypes were distributed across two experimental blocks, each containing nine flow‐through tanks. Fragments from five genotypes were placed in each tank. (b) Temperature profiles and sampling time points in the heat stress assay, demonstrating ramp up from control conditions (27ºC, MMM) to the preconditioning ...
