Clade D Symbiodinium are thermally tolerant coral endosymbionts that confer resistance to
elevated sea surface temperature and bleaching to the host. The union between corals and …

Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae occupy multiple ecological niches on tropical,
subtropical, and temperate reefs, ranging from species that are exclusively free-living to …

Coral bleaching has been identified as one of the major contributors to coral reef decline,
and the occurrence of different symbionts determined by broad genetic groupings (clades A …

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene are being subjected to unprecedented levels of stressors,
including local disturbances—such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution—and …

Aim This study examines the importance of geographic proximity, host life history and
regional and local differences in environment (temperature and water clarity) in driving the …

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 …

Lichens are symbioses between fungi (mycobionts) and photoautotrophic green algae or
cyanobacteria (photobionts). Many lichens occupy large distributional ranges covering …

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

Dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium form an endosymbiosis with reef building corals,
in which photosynthetically derived nutrients comprise the majority of the coral energy …

As climate change progresses and extreme temperature events increase in frequency, rates
of disturbance may soon outpace the capacity of certain species of reef‐building coral to …
