Reef‐building corals occur as a range of colour morphs because of varying types and
concentrations of pigments within the host tissues, but little is known about their …

Corals have the ability to synthesize various pigments, responsible for their characteristic
vivid coloration. Most coral host pigments are green fluorescent protein (GFP)-like pigments …

Adjusting the light exposure and capture of their symbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellates
(genus Symbiodinium Freud.) is central to the success of reef‐building corals (order …

We applied a multivariate analysis to investigate the roles of host and symbiont on the in situ
physiological response of genus Madracis holobionts towards light. Across a large depth …

The depth distribution of reef-building corals exposes their photosynthetic symbionts of the
genus Symbiodinium to extreme gradients in the intensity and spectral quality of the ambient …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are light-dependent coral-associated communities
found at 30–150 m depth. Corals inhabiting these deeper reefs are often acclimatized to a …

With shallow coral reefs suffering from an ongoing rapid decline in many regions of the
world, the interest in studies on mesophotic coral ecosystems (30–150 m) is growing rapidly …

Heating the scleractinian coral, Montipora monasteriata (Forskal 1775) to 32° C under< 650
mmol quanta m− 2 s− 1 led to bleaching in the form of a reduction in Peridinin, xanthophyll …

The relationship between reef-building corals and light-harvesting pigments of
zooxanthellae (Symbiodinium sp.) has been acknowledged for decades. The photosynthetic …

The algae living endosymbiotically within coral are thought to increase algal pigmentation
with increasing depth to capture the diminishing light. Here, we follow distribution of the …
