Arranging organisms into functional groups aids ecological research by grouping organisms
(irrespective of phylogenetic origin) that interact with environmental factors in similar ways …

Corals house a variety of microorganisms which they depend on for their survival, including
endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) and bacteria. While cnidarian …

The intimate relationship between scleractinian corals and their associated microorganisms
is fundamental to healthy coral reef ecosystems. Coral‐associated microbes …

Coral reefs have entered an era of 'ecological crisis' as climate change drives catastrophic
reef loss worldwide. Coral growth and stress susceptibility are regulated by their …

Microalgae fuel food webs and biogeochemical cycles of key elements in the ocean. What
determines microalgal dominance in the ocean is a long-standing question. Red tide …

Symbiodiniaceae form associations with extra-and intracellular bacterial symbionts, both in
culture and in symbiosis with corals. Bacterial associates can regulate Symbiodiniaceae …
