New perspectives on the functioning and evolution of photosymbiosis in plankton [PDF]
Photosymbiosis is common and widely distributed in plankton and is considered to be beneficial for both partners (mutualism). Such intimate associations involving heterotrophic hosts and microalgal symbionts have been extensively studied in coral reefs, but in the planktonic realm, the ecology and evolution of photosymbioses remain poorly understood ...

Photosymbiosis in Clinocardium nuttalli; implications for tests of photosymbiosis in fossil molluscs
PALAIOS, 1992The endosymbiotic association between the heart cockle, Clinocardium nuttalli, and an endosymbiotic green alga (zoochlorella) was investigated in the field and laboratory. Specimens were obtained from False Bay, San Juan Island, Washington. Infaunal clams dit not contain symbionts while slightly larger and older semi-infaunal individuals harbored algae

Photosymbiosis in Marine Planktonic Protists
The Paleontological Society Papers, 2015Some of the most enigmatic components in the plankton are the diverse eukaryotic protists that live in close association with one or more partners. Mutualistic and commensal planktonic interactions are most commonly encountered in the oligotrophic open ocean at tropical and subtropical latitudes.

An Emerging System to Study Photosymbiosis, Brain Regeneration, Chronobiology, and Behavior: The Marine Acoel Symsagittifera roscoffensis [PDF]
The acoel worm Symsagittifera roscoffensis, an early offshoot of the Bilateria and the only well-studied marine acoel that lives in a photosymbiotic relationship, exhibits a centralized nervous system, brain regeneration, and a wide repertoire of ...

SPECIES SELECTION AND THE MACROEVOLUTION OF CORAL COLONIALITY AND PHOTOSYMBIOSIS
Evolution, 2013Differences in the relative diversification rates of species with variant traits are known as species selection. Species selection can produce a macroevolutionary change in the frequencies of traits by changing the relative number of species possessing each trait over time.

Photosymbiosis in Marine Pelagic Environments
2016Photosymbiosis is a symbiotic relationship between two or more organisms, one of which is capable of photosynthesis. Like other forms of symbiosis, photosymbioses can involve the full spectrum of trophic interactions from mutualism through commensalism to parasitism.

Photosymbiosis and the Evolution of Modern Coral Reefs
Science, 2006The algae in coral reefs do not leave behind fossils, so deciphering their coevolution with corals is difficult. Isotope measurements can help reveal these ancient relationships.

Photosymbiosis: The Driving Force for Reef Success and Failure
The Paleontological Society Papers, 2011Photosymbiosis has been an important process in the evolution of ancient reef systems and in reef success today. Modern reefs and many of those in the geologic past inhabited nutrient-depleted settings. The complete collapse of some ancient reef ecosystems may be attributed to the breakdown of the ecologic and physiologic relationships between symbiont

Ascidian photosymbiosis: Diversity of cyanobacterial transmission during embryogenesis
genesis, 2014SummarySome tropical ascidians of the family Didemnidae invariably harbor cyanobacterial cells in the common cloacal cavities and/or tunic. This is the only lifelong, obligate photosymbiosis reported in chordates. Photosymbionts are transferred from the maternal colony to embryos or prehatching larvae brooded in the colonies.
