Tropical corals construct the three-dimensional framework for one of the most diverse
ecosystems on the planet, providing habitat to a plethora of species across taxa. However …

More than half of reef-building corals (Scleractinia) participate in a nutritional symbiosis,
known as photosymbiosis, with photosynthetic dinoflagellates that ranges from obligate to …

The scleractinian coral-associated symbiotic algae Symbiodiniaceae plays an important role
in bleaching tolerance and coral resilience. In this study, coral-associated Symbiodiniaceae …

Reef-forming cnidarians are extremely susceptible to the “bleaching” phenomenon caused
by global warming. The effect of elevated seawater temperature has been extensively …

Symbiotic associations, widespread in terrestrial and marine ecosystems, are of
considerable ecological importance. Many tropical coral species are holobionts, formed by …

The complex network of associations between corals and their dinoflagellates (family
Symbiodiniaceae) are the basis of coral reef ecosystems but are sensitive to increasing …

Aim The aims were to test the role of temperature in latitudinal patterns of egg size and
investigate maternal investment trade‐offs among coral taxa. Location Global, from 34° S to …

Abstract The 2015-2016 El Niño-southern oscillation or “ENSO” caused many M.
complanata colonies that live in the Mexican Caribbean to experience extensive bleaching …

Reef-forming cnidarians are essential for maintaining ecological balance. Unfortunately,
coral reefs are endangered due to coral bleaching, which interrupts mutualistic symbiosis …

Background Biodiversity and productivity of coral-reef ecosystems depend upon reef-
building corals and their associations with endosymbiotic Symbiodiniaceae, which offer …
