The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular
dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In …

▪ Abstract Oxidative stress—the production and accumulation of reduced oxygen

Since the early 1980s, episodes of coral reef bleaching and mortality, due primarily to
climate-induced ocean warming, have occurred almost annually in one or more of the …

Bleaching refers to the loss of colour in symbioses between dinoflagellate algae of the
genus Symbiodinium and marine benthic animals, eg corals. Bleaching generally results in …

Coral bleaching caused by global warming is one of the major threats to coral reefs. Very
recently, research has focused on the possibility of corals switching symbionts as a means of …

Environmental stressors such as increased sea surface temperatures are well-known for
contributing to coral bleaching; however, the effect of increased temperatures and …

Unprecedented changes in coral reef systems have focused attention on a wide range of
stressors on local, regional, and global spatial scales but global climate change resulting in …

The phylum of dinoflagellates is characterized by many unusual and interesting genomic
and physiological features, the imprint of which, in its immense genome, remains elusive …

Elevated seawater temperatures have long been accepted as the principal stressor causing
the loss of symbiotic algae in corals and other invertebrates with algal symbionts …

The declining health of coral reefs worldwide is likely to intensify in response to continued
anthropogenic disturbance from coastal development, pollution, and climate change. In …
