Molecular diversity of Symbiodinium spp. within six coral species in Larak Island, the Persian Gulf [PDF]
Reef-building coral harbor communities of photosynthetic taxa of the genus Symbiodinium (zooxanthellae). The genus Symbiodinium is currently classified into nine genetic clades (A–I).

Abstract Light and temperature are driving forces that shape the evolution and physiology of mesophotic organisms. On the Mississippi‐Alabama continental shelf, octocorals dominate the mesophotic seascape and provide habitat for many fish and invertebrate species.

Marine Heatwaves Transform Coral Symbioses With Enduring Effects
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 ...

Symbiosis-specific changes in dimethylsulphoniopropionate concentrations in Stylophora pistillata along a depth gradient [PDF]
Scleractinian corals are prolific producers of dimethylsulphoniopropionate (DMSP), but ecophysiological mechanisms influencing cellular concentrations are uncertain.

Abstract Mn/Ca of foraminiferal calcite has been proposed as a tool to reconstruct past oxygen conditions, but the impact of the concentration of Mn ([Mn]) in seawater on partitioning of Mn in foraminiferal calcite remains unclear. Here, we explore Mn incorporation of different species of foraminifera across a gradient of seawater [Mn] by culturing ...

Symbiodinium biogeography tracks environmental patterns rather than host genetics in a key Caribbean reef-builder, Orbicella annularis [PDF]
This is the final version of the article. Available from the Royal Society via the DOI in this record.The physiological performance of a reef-building coral is a combined outcome of both the coral host and its algal endosymbionts, Symbiodinium While ...

Effective light absorption and absolute electron transport rates in the coral Pocillopora damicornis [PDF]
Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) fluorometry has been widely used to estimate the relative photosynthetic efficiency of corals. However, both the optical properties of intact corals as well as past technical constrains to PAM fluorometers have prevented ...

Written Summary: Climate change is reshaping marine ecosystems, with the Mediterranean Sea among the most vulnerable due to warming and non‐native species such as the upside‐down jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda. We investigated the thermal tolerance and habitat suitability of its polyps, a key stage for reproduction and persistence.

Biogeographic partitioning and host specialization among foraminiferan dinoflagellate symbionts ( Symbiodinium [PDF]
Large discoidal soritid foraminiferans (Soritinae) are abundant in coral reef ecosystems. As with the many cnidarian invertebrates that inhabit these systems, they also depend on symbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium) for their growth and survival ...
