Marine Heatwaves Transform Coral Symbioses With Enduring Effects. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Marine heatwaves are disrupting coral–algal symbioses, yet their long‐term effects remain poorly understood. Using a decade‐long survey (2013–2023), we document a lasting transformation of symbiont assemblages, evidence of a local symbiont extinction, and indications that local human disturbance may impede symbiont recovery following a major marine ...

Genome evolution of Symbiodiniaceae [PDF]

, 2020
Symbiotic interactions between dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) and corals give rise to the ecological complexity and biodiversity of reef ecosystems. Comparative genomic studies can aid in tracing the evolutionary history of these dinoflagellates, and thus elucidate the evolutionary forces that drove their diversification and adaptation as ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event [PDF]

Evol Appl
ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

Rare coral under the genomic microscope: timing and relationships among Hawaiian Montipora [PDF]

, 2019
Background Evolutionary patterns of scleractinian (stony) corals are difficult to infer given the existence of few diagnostic characters and pervasive phenotypic plasticity.

Protocol for the generation of Symbiodiniaceae mutants using UV mutagenesis [PDF]

STAR Protocols, 2023
Genetic approaches are limited in the dinoflagellate family, Symbiodiniaceae, causing a bottleneck in the discovery of useful mutants toward the goal of preventing future coral bleaching events. In this protocol, we demonstrate the application of UV exposure, coupled with downstream phenotypic screening and mutant isolation, to form a UV mutagenesis ...

A Zeaxanthin-Producing Bacterium Isolated from the Algal Phycosphere Protects Coral Endosymbionts from Environmental Stress

mBio, 2020
Reef-building corals form a complex consortium with photosynthetic algae in the family Symbiodiniaceae and bacteria, collectively termed the coral holobiont.

Microbiome dynamics in the tissue and mucus of acroporid corals differ in relation to host and environmental parameters [PDF]

, 2020
Corals are associated with diverse microbial assemblages; however, the spatial-temporal dynamics of intra-species microbial interactions are poorly understood.

Resolving Symbiodiniaceae Diversity Across Coral Microhabitats and Reef Niches. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol
ABSTRACT Dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae are important symbionts of diverse marine animals and they also occupy different environmental niches on coral reefs. The link between diversity at ecosystem‐scale to microhabitats of Symbiodiniaceae within the coral holobiont is largely unknown.

Genome Improvement and Core Gene Set Refinement of Fugacium kawagutii

Microorganisms, 2020
Cataloging an accurate functional gene set for the Symbiodiniaceae species is crucial for addressing biological questions of dinoflagellate symbiosis with corals and other invertebrates. To improve the gene models of Fugacium kawagutii, we conducted high-

Fish predation on corals promotes the dispersal of coral symbionts

Animal Microbiome, 2021
Background The microbiomes of foundation (habitat-forming) species such as corals and sponges underpin the biodiversity, productivity, and stability of ecosystems.
