Fecal pellets of giant clams as a route for transporting Symbiodiniaceae to corals.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Because more than 80% of species of gamete-spawning corals, including most Acroporidae species, do not inherit Symbiodiniaceae from their parents, they must acquire symbiont cells from sources in their environment. To determine whether photosynthetically

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.Coral broodstock were phenotyped using a rapid heat stress assay and ranked according to their performance (photochemical efficiency). Selectively breeding the broodstock based on their performance did not produce larvae with enhanced heat tolerance. Created in BioRender. Lamb, A. (2025) https://BioRender.com/zcgk0g6.

Nutrient Availability and Metabolism Affect the Stability of Coral–Symbiodiniaceae Symbioses [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2019 Coral reefs rely upon the highly optimized coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis, making them sensitive to environmental change and susceptible to anthropogenic stress. Coral bleaching is predominantly attributed to photo-oxidative stress, yet nutrient availability and metabolism underpin the stability of symbioses. Recent studies link symbiont proliferation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In Belize, shallow populations (10 and 16 m) of the coral species Montastraea cavernosa from the back reef and reef crest are genetically differentiated from deeper populations on the fore reef and reef wall (25 and 35 m).

Acute Heat Priming Dampens Gene Expression Response to Thermal Stress in a Widespread Acropora Coral
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.(a) Experimental design. Corals from 10 genotypes were distributed across two experimental blocks, each containing nine flow‐through tanks. Fragments from five genotypes were placed in each tank. (b) Temperature profiles and sampling time points in the heat stress assay, demonstrating ramp up from control conditions (27ºC, MMM) to the preconditioning ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Scleractinian coral evolved under nitrogen (N)‐limited conditions. The increase in N flux from anthropogenic activities to these otherwise N‐depleted environments is threatening coral health and coral reef ecosystem function. We tested the effect of elevated ammonium (NH4+) loading on Acropora metabolism responses (respiration, gross primary ...

Symbiont Community Diversity is More Variable in Corals That Respond Poorly to Stress [PDF]
, 2020 Coral reefs are declining globally as climate change and local water quality press environmental conditions beyond the physiological tolerances of holobionts—the collective of the host and its microbial symbionts.

Caribbean Reef-Building Coral-Symbiodiniaceae Network: Identifying Symbioses Critical for System Stability in a Changing Climate [PDF]
, 2022 Increasing global ocean temperatures and frequency of marine heatwaves pose dire consequences for coral reefs. High temperatures often lead to disruptions in coral symbiosis resulting in coral bleaching, increasing the mortality of corals.

Symbiodiniaceae density determination v1
, 2018 This protocol is for determining Symbiodiniaceae density from Exaiptasia diaphana anemones or coral tissue. This protocol can (and should be) run in conjunction with others such as protein determination and nucleic acid extractions.
