Morphological and trophic coupling distinguishes coral clades along a light gradient

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Light availability is critical to the growth and survival of most scleractinian corals due to their endosymbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates. Natural light gradients are expected to be associated with shifts in coral physiology, morphology, and trophic strategy.

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

Bleaching Susceptibility and Resistance of Octocorals and Anemones at the World’s Southern-Most Coral Reef

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Coral reefs are amongst the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth, and while stony corals create the foundational complexity of these ecosystems, octocorals and anemones contribute significantly to their biodiversity and function.

Testing for the Presence of Photobionts in Eucypris virens (Crustacea: Ostracoda) Green Valves

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Crustaceans exhibit a wide range of organic pigments with different colorations and functions. However, little is known about the origin and function of the characteristic green pigmentation that podocopid ostracods, and in particular Eucypris virens, exhibit in their valves.

Beyond the Symbiodiniaceae: diversity and role of microeukaryotic coral symbionts

, 2023
Many corals form intimate symbioses with photosynthetic dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae. These symbioses have been deeply studied, particularly in reef-forming corals.

Testing the Applicability of Thermal Tolerance-Enhancing Probiotics Derived from Pacific Symbiodiniaceae on Caribbean Symbiodiniaceae and Coral Recruits

The scleractinian coral holobiont comprises the coral host, dinoflagellate algae in the family Symbiodiniaceae, and their respective microbiomes, encompassing viruses, microeukaryotes, Archaea, and Bacteria.

Whole Genome Sequencing Reveals Genetic Differences Between Symbiodiniaceae Populations Among Reproductively and Geographically Isolated Acropora Colonies in Western Australia

Ecology and Evolution
Significant genetic differentiation between Symbiodiniaceae populations in coral hosts can be induced by a range of factors including geography, latitude, depth, temperature and light utilisation.

Symbiodiniaceae Diversity in Red Sea Coral Reefs & Coral Bleaching

, 2019
This chapter introduces Symbiodiniaceae, the diverse group of dinoflagellate microalgae, that form an obligate symbiosis with corals and other coral reef organisms.

Depth Influences Symbiodiniaceae Associations Among Montastraea cavernosa Corals on the Belize Barrier Reef

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).

Seasonal Physiological Strategies Reveal Contrasting Host–Symbiont Dynamics Among Dominant Indo‐Pacific Reef‐Building Corals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seasonal changes in coral physiology reveal distinct acclimatization strategies among reef‐building corals. Symbiotic generalists exhibit large seasonal fluctuations driven primarily by symbiont dynamics, whereas symbiotic specialists maintain stable symbiont physiology through stronger host regulation.
