Zooxanthellate corals (ie those harbouring Symbiodinium) are the main builders of the
world's shallow‐water marine coral reefs. They represent intimate diverse symbioses …

Environmental heterogeneity gives rise to phenotypic variation through a combination of
phenotypic plasticity and fixed genetic effects. For reef-building corals, understanding the …

Understanding the potential for coral adaptation to warming seas is complicated by
interactions between symbiotic partners that define stress responses and the difficulties of …

Modern coral taxonomy has begun to resolve many long-standing problems in traditional
systematics stemming from its reliance on skeletal macromorphology. By integrating …

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to the persistence of coral reefs. Sustained and
ongoing increases in ocean temperatures and acidification are altering the structure and …

The significance of symbioses between eukaryotic hosts and microbes extends from the
organismal to the ecosystem level and underpins the health of Earth's most threatened …

The coral mucus may harbor commensal bacteria that inhibit growth of pathogens.
Therefore, there is a need to understand the dynamics of bacterial communities between the …

The rise in seawater temperature due to industrial activities is one of the main threats to
marine biodiversity. In nuclear power plants, large volumes of water are used for their …

Scleractinian corals have demonstrated the ability to shuffle their endosymbiotic
dinoflagellate communities (genus Symbiodinium) during periods of acute environmental …

Climate change has led to a decline in the health of corals and coral reefs around the world.
Studies have shown that, while some corals can cope with natural and anthropogenic …
