From cells to reefs—fluorescent protein distribution reveals species‐specific photoadaptation in closely related Caribbean corals

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are diverse and widespread pigments in reef‐building corals, assumed to modulate the internal light microenvironment within coral tissues. Yet, their precise distribution and organization at the tissue and cellular levels remain poorly understood, limiting our understanding of their functional roles.

Lipid Droplets in Endosymbiotic Symbiodiniaceae spp. Associated with Corals

Plants
Symbiodiniaceae species is a dinoflagellate that plays a crucial role in maintaining the symbiotic mutualism of reef-building corals in the ocean. Reef-building corals, as hosts, provide the nutrition and habitat to endosymbiotic Symbiodiniaceae species ...

Assessing the role of historical temperature regime and algal symbionts on the heat tolerance of coral juveniles

Biology Open, 2020
The rate of coral reef degradation from climate change is accelerating and, as a consequence, a number of interventions to increase coral resilience and accelerate recovery are under consideration.

Towards an in-depth characterization of Symbiodiniaceae in tropical giant clams via metabarcoding of pooled multi-gene amplicons [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
High-throughput sequencing is revolutionizing our ability to comprehensively characterize free-living and symbiotic Symbiodiniaceae, a diverse dinoflagellate group that plays a critical role in coral reef ecosystems.

Red, green, blue color indices as proxy for Symbiodiniaceae cell density and chlorophyll content during coral bleaching

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Coral bleaching, the breakdown of the symbiosis between the coral host and endosymbiotic microalgae, is the main cause of widespread coral reef degradation. Current visual assessment methods for coral health, including color reference cards, are constrained by subjective human color perception and limited resolution.

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Monitoring Coral Reef Metabolism Under Changing Oceans–Novel Insights From Seawater Stable Carbon Isotopes

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mounting environmental stressors are driving Caribbean reefs from coral to sponge and macroalgae dominance, necessitating a need for more nuanced metrics of reef metabolism under trophic transitions. Drawing upon four seasonally replicated field campaigns to Curaçao, we reveal highly variable net ecosystem productivity (−243 ± 69 C m−2 day−1 ...

Thermal Stress‐Induced Alterations to Oxylipin Signal Receptors in the Cnidarian–Dinoflagellate Symbiosis

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2026.
Thermal stress significantly alters signalling receptor abundance in the model cnidarian Exaiptasia diaphana. TRPA1, EP2 and GRIK2 increased under elevated temperatures, while EP4 remained unchanged, indicating differential thermal modulation of oxylipin‐ and glutamate‐linked pathways.

Differential Regulation of Apoptosis and Symbiodiniaceae Energy Transfer Mediate the Link Between Bleaching and Disease in Exaiptasia diaphana

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 7, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic climate change has caused unprecedented declines across a number of marine taxa. Coral reef ecosystems, which are formed by scleractinian corals, face widespread declines in ecosystem health and function due to co‐occurring environmental stressors.
