Homogenization of Endosymbiont Communities Hosted by Equatorial Corals during the 2016 Mass Bleaching Event

Microorganisms, 2020
Thermal stress drives the bleaching of reef corals, during which the endosymbiotic relationship between Symbiodiniaceae microalgae and the host breaks down.

Variation in Coral Thermotolerance Across a Pollution Gradient Erodes as Coral Symbionts Shift to More Heat-Tolerant Genera

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Phenotypic plasticity is one mechanism whereby species may cope with stressful environmental changes associated with climate change. Reef building corals present a good model for studying phenotypic plasticity because they have experienced rapid climate ...

Day-night cycle as a key environmental factor affecting coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Interpreting the coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis in light of the day-night cycle may provide missing links in understanding the function of endosymbiosis.

The promotion of stress tolerant Symbiodiniaceae dominance in juveniles of two coral species under simulated future conditions of ocean warming and acidification

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The symbiotic relationship between coral and its endosymbiotic algae, Symbiodiniaceae, greatly influences the hosts’ potential to withstand environmental stress.

The contribution of stress-tolerant endosymbiotic dinoflagellate Durusdinium to Pocillopora acuta survival in a highly urbanized reef system

Coral Reefs, 2020
Urban coral reefs are regarded as marginal communities that live under localized conditions considered detrimental for coral survival, such as high sediment load. They are also impacted by global environmental changes, especially increases in sea surface temperatures.

Cellular traits regulate fluorescence-based light-response phenotypes of coral photosymbionts living in-hospite

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Diversity across algal family Symbiodiniaceae contributes to the environmental resilience of certain coral species. Chlorophyll-a fluorescence measurements are frequently used to determine symbiont health and resilience, but more work is needed to refine

Transcriptomic differences between bleached and unbleached hydrozoan Millepora complanata following the 2015-2016 ENSO in the Mexican Caribbean [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
The 2015-2016 El Niño-southern oscillation or “ENSO” caused many M. complanata colonies that live in the Mexican Caribbean to experience extensive bleaching.

Metatranscriptomic Analysis of Corals Inoculated With Tolerant and Non-Tolerant Symbiont Exposed to High Temperature and Light Stress

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Algal symbionts of corals can influence host stress resistance; for example, in the Pacific Ocean, whereas Cladocopium (C-type) is generally dominant in corals, Durusdinium (D-type) is found in more heat-resistant corals.

Presence and Genetic Identity of Symbiodiniaceae in the Bioeroding Sponge Genera Cliona and Spheciospongia (Clionaidae) in the Spermonde Archipelago (SW Sulawesi), Indonesia

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Members of the family Symbiodiniaceae form symbiotic relationships with several metazoan groups on coral reefs, most notably scleractinian corals.

Temporal variation and photochemical efficiency of species in Symbiodinaceae associated with coral Leptoria phrygia (Scleractinia; Merulinidae) exposed to contrasting temperature regimes.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The Symbiodinaceae are paradoxical in that they play a fundamental role in the success of scleractinian corals, but also in their dismissal when under stress.
