Spontaneous evolution of heterotrophy in cultured dinoflagellate algae
Acquisition of chloroplasts by an early eukaryote and their subsequent spread across eukaryotes is well understood. However, evolution can be undone, and many important lineages (especially in the Apicomplexa) have lost photosynthesis, returning to heterotrophy.

Discoveries with Roseobacteraceae: Bacterial Models for Ocean Heterotrophy
The molecular revolution of the 1990s brought insights into the tremendous breadth of ecological and evolutionary diversity harbored within the bacterial and archaeal domains of life, enabling scientists to peer into the proverbial microbial black box.

Effects of Food Concentration and Light Intensity on the Growth of a Model Coral
Since reef-building corals rely on both heterotrophy and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate autotrophy to meet their metabolic needs, it is necessary to consider both food supply and light levels, respectively, when optimizing their cultivation ex situ. Herein

Heterotrophy in marine animal forests in an era of climate change
ABSTRACT Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems characterised by biogenic three‐dimensional structures formed by suspension feeders such as corals, gorgonians, sponges and bivalves. They comprise highly diversified communities among the most productive in the world's oceans.
