In vitro Symbiosis of Reef-Building Coral Cells With Photosynthetic Dinoflagellates
Coral reefs are the biodiversity hot spots of the oceans, but they have suffered from increasing environmental stresses caused principally by anthropogenic global warming.

Ocean acidification (OA) is negatively affecting calcification in a wide variety of marine organisms. These effects are acute for many tropical scleractinian corals under short-term experimental conditions, but it is unclear how these effects interact with ecological processes, such as competition for space, to impact coral ...

Discovery and characterization of Hv1-type proton channels in reef-building corals
Voltage-dependent proton-permeable channels are membrane proteins mediating a number of important physiological functions. Here we report the presence of a gene encoding Hv1 voltage-dependent, proton-permeable channels in two species of reef-building ...

Reactive Oxygen Species Signaling Pathways: Arbiters of Evolutionary Conflict?
In the history of life, cooperation between biological units has led to increased complexity, e.g., eukaryotic cells and multicellular organisms. Cooperation requires limiting the gains of “defectors” in favor of the cooperative higher-level unit.
