Nitrogen limitation is the foundation of stable coral-algal symbioses. Diazotrophs,
prokaryotes capable of fixing N2 into ammonia, support the productivity of corals in …

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are becoming more frequent as a consequence of climate
change. These discrete events are causing widespread stress and mortality in marine …

Bidirectional nutrient flow between partners is integral to the cnidarian-dinoflagellate
endosymbiosis. However, our current knowledge of the transporter proteins that regulate …

The intensity and frequency of coral bleaching events have increased worldwide especially
due to thermal stress and seawater pollution. Although it has been observed that metal …

Abstract Stony corals (Order: Scleractinia) are central to vital marine habitats known as coral
reefs. Numerous stressors in the Anthropocene are contributing to the ongoing decline in …

There is growing evidence that reef-building corals can acclimate to novel and challenging
thermal conditions. However, potential trade-offs that accompany acclimation remain largely …

A core vulnerability in symbioses is the need for coordination between the symbiotic
partners, which are often assumed to be closely physiologically integrated. We critically re …

Climate change-driven ocean warming is increasing the frequency and severity of bleaching
events, in which corals appear whitened after losing their dinoflagellate endosymbionts …

Insights into assemblages that can persist in extreme environments are still emerging.
Ocean warming and acidification select against species with low physiological tolerance …

Climate change threatens the survival of symbiotic cnidarians by causing photosymbiosis
breakdown in a process known as bleaching. Direct effects of temperature on cnidarian host …
