Symbiont shuffling dynamics associated with photodamage during temperature stress in coral symbiosis

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Reef-building corals usually form a symbiotic relationship with various photosynthetic dinoflagellates, which may determine the physiology and stress tolerance of their hosts.

Coral Skeletal Cores as Windows Into Past Symbiodiniaceae Community Dynamics. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Stony corals rely on their association with symbiotic algae for their growth and health. However, corals can lose these symbionts in response to heat stress and bleach, but they can also recover from bleaching and associate with new, more tolerant symbionts.

Differential Symbiodiniaceae Association With Coral and Coral-Eroding Sponge in a Bleaching Impacted Marginal Coral Reef Environment

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Marginal reefs are known for severe stress-inducible perturbations such as high sedimentation, eutrophication, ocean warming, and acidification from anthropogenic climate change.

Population Genomics for Coral Reef Restoration-A Case Study of Staghorn Corals in Micronesia. [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Staghorn Acropora corals are ecological keystone species in shallow lagoons and back reef habitats throughout the tropics. Their widespread decline coupled with their amenability for asexual propagation propelled them to the forefront of global coral restoration efforts—albeit frequently without much scientific input.

Resolving widespread and endemic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) mutualistic with Indo-Pacific octocorals reveals differences in specificity based on host phylogeny. [PDF]

J Phycol
Abstract Endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate family Symbiodiniaceae can form mutualisms with a diverse array of host invertebrates, constituting a widespread and ecologically important family. While those associated with reef‐building corals (order Scleractinia) have received considerable research attention, the diversity and ecology of zooxanthellae ...

Symbiotic Dinoflagellates of the Giant Clam, Tridacna squamosa, Express Ammonium Transporter 2 at the Plasma Membrane and Increase Its Expression Levels During Illumination

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Giant clams harbor dinoflagellates generally of the three genera (Symbiodinium, Cladocopium, and Durusdinium) of phototrophic Symbiodiniaceae. Coccoid dinoflagellates (alias zooxanthellae) are found mainly inside zooxanthellal tubules located in the ...

Community composition of coral-associated Symbiodiniaceae differs across fine-scale environmental gradients in Kāne‘ohe Bay

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
The survival of most reef-building corals is dependent upon a symbiosis between the coral and the community of Symbiodiniaceae. Montipora capitata, one of the main reef-building coral species in Hawai'i, is known to host a diversity of symbionts, but it ...

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.
