First insight into the viral community of the cnidarian model metaorganism Aiptasia using RNA-Seq data [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Current research posits that all multicellular organisms live in symbioses with associated microorganisms and form so-called metaorganisms or holobionts.

Evidence for the Role of Endosymbionts in Regional-Scale Habitat Partitioning by Hydrothermal Vent Symbioses [PDF]
, 2014 Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are populated by dense communities of animals that form symbiotic associations with chemolithoautotrophic bacteria. To date, our understanding of which factors govern the distribution of host/symbiont associations (or ...

Frontiers in Marine ScienceRelatively high-latitude coral reefs could be potential “refuges” for corals under climate change. One of the most important aspects limiting their availability as refuges is low-temperature stress.

Quantification of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) production in the sea anemone Aiptasia sp. to simulate the sea-to-air flux from coral reefs [PDF]
, 2017 The production of dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is poorly quantified in tropical reef environments but forms an essential process that couples marine and terrestrial sulfur cycles and affects climate.

Conceptualization of the Holobiont Paradigm as It Pertains to Corals [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Corals' obligate association with unicellular dinoflagellates, family Symbiodiniaceae form the foundation of coral reefs. For nearly a century, researchers have delved into understanding the coral-algal mutualism from multiple levels of resolution and perspectives, and the questions and scope have evolved with each iteration of new techniques. Advances

Stable and sporadic symbiotic communities of coral and algal holobionts [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2015 Abstract Coral and algal holobionts are assemblages of macroorganisms and microorganisms, including viruses, Bacteria, Archaea, protists and fungi. Despite a decade of research, it remains unclear whether these associations are spatial–temporally stable or species-specific.
