Coral reefs rely upon the highly optimized coral–Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis, making them
sensitive to environmental change and susceptible to anthropogenic stress. Coral bleaching …

Coral reefs are the most biodiversity-rich ecosystems in the world's oceans. Coral
establishes complex interactions with various microorganisms that constitute an important …

High sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) during summer
2015/2016 caused extensive coral bleaching, with aerial and in-water surveys confirming …

The ecological success of shallow water reef-building corals has been linked to the
symbiosis between the coral host and its dinoflagellate symbionts (herein 'symbionts'). As …

A complete or partial loss of symbiotic dinoflagellates (SD) by the corals in response to
thermal stress has been described as coral bleaching. A stress damages the photosynthetic …

Reef-building corals rely on both heterotrophy and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate autotrophy
to meet their metabolic needs. Those looking to culture these organisms for scientific or …

Coral species are better able to survive bleaching events with heterotrophic feeding, which
raises the level of lipid provisions and coral resilience against stress episodes. We report …

Symbiotic relationships are very important for corals. Abiotic stressors cause the
acclimatization of cell membranes in symbionts, which possess different membrane …

Lipids are involved in a host of biochemical and physiological processes in corals.
Therefore, changes in lipid composition reflect changes in the ecology, nutrition, and health …

Coral bleaching is caused by complete or partial loss of coral endosymbionts in response to
increased sea surface temperature and solar radiation. A thermal stress leads to formation of …
