Transcriptome Analysis of Durusdinium Associated with the Transition from Free-Living to Symbiotic [PDF]
To detect the change during coral–dinoflagellate endosymbiosis establishment, we compared transcriptome data derived from free-living and symbiotic Durusdinium, a coral symbiont genus.

Extra high superoxide dismutase in host tissue is associated with improving bleaching resistance in “thermal adapted” and Durusdinium trenchii-associating coral [PDF]
Global warming threatens reef-building corals with large-scale bleaching events; therefore, it is important to discover potential adaptive capabilities for increasing their temperature resistance before it is too late.

Persistent Legacy Effects of Marine Heatwaves on Coral Symbioses. [PDF]
The algal symbionts hosted by Platygyra ryukyuensis corals on Kiritimati Island were distributed according to their exposure to local human disturbance before an extreme marine heatwave (1). The symbionts hosted by corals underwent a major shift as a result of this acute heatwave disturbance, with transient symbionts detected in corals at less turbid ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

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

Stress-Resistant Symbiodiniaceae and Diverse Bacterial Communities Promote Coral Persistence in Variable, Multi-Stressor Environments. [PDF]
Corals living in multi‐stressor bays in Curaçao maintain stress‐tolerant symbiotic algae and specialized bacterial communities in comparison to those in nearby reefs. These findings provide insight into how Caribbean coral holobionts persist in extreme and marginal conditions and may respond under future environmental conditions.

Diversity and distribution of Symbiodiniaceae detected on coral reefs of Lombok, Indonesia using environmental DNA metabarcoding [PDF]
Background Dinoflagellates of family Symbiodiniaceae are important to coral reef ecosystems because of their contribution to coral health and growth; however, only a few studies have investigated the function and distribution of Symbiodiniaceae in ...
