Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Giant clams are important ecosystem engineers of coral reefs because they harbor large quantities of phototrophic Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates of mainly genera Symbiodinium, Cladocopium, and Durusdinium.

Importance of depth and temperature variability as drivers of coral symbiont composition despite a mass bleaching event [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Coral reefs are iconic examples of climate change impacts because climate-induced heat stress causes the breakdown of the coral-algal symbiosis leading to a spectacular loss of color, termed ‘coral bleaching’.

Lineage-specific symbionts mediate differential coral responses to thermal stress [PDF]
Microbiome, 2023 Background Ocean warming is a leading cause of increasing episodes of coral bleaching, the dissociation between coral hosts and their dinoflagellate algal symbionts in the family Symbiodiniaceae.

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

New Findings on the Survival of Durusdinium glynnii Under Different Acclimation Methods to Low Salinities [PDF]
MicroorganismsThis study investigated the effects of salinity on the growth and cell morphotype of the coral-associated dinoflagellate Durusdinium glynnii under two acclimation strategies: abrupt saline shock (S5) and gradual reduction (S2).

Baseline dynamics of Symbiodiniaceae genera and photochemical efficiency in corals from reefs with different thermal histories [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Ocean warming and marine heatwaves induced by climate change are impacting coral reefs globally, leading to coral bleaching and mortality. Yet, coral resistance and resilience to warming are not uniform across reef sites and corals can show inter- and ...

Octadecanoids as emerging lipid mediators in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis [PDF]
Communications BiologyOxylipin signaling has been suggested as a potential mechanism for the inter-partner recognition and homeostasis regulation of cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis, which maintains the ecological viability of coral reefs.
