Dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium express broad diversity in both genetic identity
(phylogeny) and photosynthetic function to presumably optimize ecological success across …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems receive increasing attention owing to their potential as deep
coral refuges in times of global environmental change. Here, the mechanisms of coral …

Over the past two decades, our knowledge of Symbiodinium genetic diversity and ecological
distribution has grown at an incredible pace, while the physiological diversity and how it may …

Many coral species display changing distribution patterns across coral reef depths. While
changes in the underwater light field and the ability to associate with different photosynthetic …

In shallow tropical waters, ultraviolet radiation (UVR) occurs at high intensity simultaneously
with high water temperatures, and both stressors are predicted to increase in the future and …

The increasing demand for soft corals (Octocorallia), either for biotechnological research on
marine natural products (Blunt et al., 2008, 2009) or to supply the marine aquarium trade …

Reef building corals (phylum Cnidaria) harbor endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae (genus
Symbiodinium) that generate photosynthetic products to fuel their host's metabolism. Non …

Increasing levels of greenhouse gases lead to ocean warming, which affects a range of
marine organisms. Corals live in a narrow temperature range and become stressed when …

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

Dinoflagellata is the earliest phylum in which true circadian regulation of melatonin rhythms
has been convincingly demonstrated. Here, diel profiling of melatonin in a cultured member …
