Assessing the Trophic Impact of Bleaching: The Model Pair Berghia stephanieae/Exaiptasia diaphana

Animals, 2023
Bleaching events associated with climate change are increasing worldwide, being a major threat to tropical coral reefs. Nonetheless, the indirect impacts promoted by the bleaching of organisms hosting photosynthetic endosymbionts, such as those impacting

Identification of scavenger receptors and thrombospondin‐type‐1 repeat proteins potentially relevant for plastid recognition in Sacoglossa

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Functional kleptoplasty is a photosymbiotic relationship, in which photosynthetically active chloroplasts serve as an intracellular symbiont for a heterotrophic host.

Heterotrophic Carbon Fixation in a Salamander-Alga Symbiosis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The unique symbiosis between a vertebrate salamander, Ambystoma maculatum, and unicellular green alga, Oophila amblystomatis, involves multiple modes of interaction. These include an ectosymbiotic interaction where the alga colonizes the egg capsule, and

Symbiont 'bleaching' in planktic foraminifera during the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum [PDF]

, 2013
Many genera of modern planktic foraminifera are adapted to nutrient-poor (oligotrophic) surface waters by hosting photosynthetic symbionts, but it is unknown how they will respond to future changes in ocean temperature and acidity.

Photoprotective Non-photochemical Quenching Does Not Prevent Kleptoplasts From Net Photoinactivation

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
The enigmatic association of photosynthetically active chloroplasts from algae and some sacoglossan sea slugs, called functional kleptoplasty, is a functional unique system of photosymbioses observed in metazoans.

Photosymbiosis in planktonic foraminifera across the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum

, 2020
Under stress, corals and foraminifera may eject algal symbionts ('bleach'), which can increase mortality. How bleaching relates to species viability over warming events is of great interest given current global warming.

Symbiont Chloroplasts Remain Active During Bleaching-Like Response Induced by Thermal Stress in Collozoum pelagicum (Collodaria, Retaria)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Collodaria (Retaria) are important contributors to planktonic communities and biogeochemical processes (e.g., the biologic pump) in oligotrophic oceans.

Photosymbiont associations persisted in planktic foraminifera during early Eocene hyperthermals at Shatsky Rise (Pacific Ocean).

PLoS ONE, 2022
Understanding the sensitivity of species-level responses to long-term warming will become increasingly important as we look towards a warmer future.

Transcriptome of Thalassicolla nucleata Holobiont Reveals Details of a Radiolarian Symbiotic Relationship

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Radiolarians are a group of ubiquitous, yet poorly understood, large protists that often harbor photosymbionts. We studied the solitary radiolarian Thalassicolla nucleata by analyzing the transcriptome of its holobiont. We found that T.

Diversity and flexibility of algal symbiont community in globally distributed larger benthic foraminifera of the genus Amphistegina

BMC Microbiology, 2021
Background Understanding the specificity and flexibility of the algal symbiosis-host association is fundamental for predicting how species occupy a diverse range of habitats.
