Reef corals (and other marine invertebrates and protists) are hosts to a group of
exceptionally diverse dinoflagellate symbionts in the genus Symbiodinium. These symbionts …

We developed quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays to distinguish each of the four clades (A–D)
of dinoflagellate endosymbionts (genus Symbiodinium) commonly found in Caribbean …

This report documents the extent to which coral colonies show fluctuations in their
associations with different endosymbiotic dinoflagellates. The genetic identity of …

The diversity and community structures of symbiotic dinoflagellates are described from reef
invertebrates in southern and central provinces of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia …

We used an integrative genetics approach using sequences of (1) nuclear ribosomal rDNA
(internal transcribed spacers and partial large subunit rDNA),(2) single-copy microsatellite …

Physiologically distinct lines of dinoflagellate symbionts, Symbiodinium spp., may confer
distinct thermal tolerance thresholds on their host corals. Therefore, if a coral can alternately …

The Gulf of California (Sea of Cortez) acts as a refuge for zooxanthellate coral communities
at high northern latitudes in the eastern Pacific. The diversity of dinoflagellate …

Seasonal dynamics of algal symbiont communities from the reef flat-dwelling coral Acropora
palifera was monitored from January 2000 to July 2001 at Tantzei Bay, Kenting National …

Scleractinian coral species harbour communities of photosynthetic taxa of the genus
Symbiodinium. As many as eight genetic clades (A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H) of Symbiodinium …

Distribution patterns of stress-tolerant coral symbionts suggest that maximum habitat
temperatures can drive local scale adaptation of symbiont populations, but at regional …
