Green fluorescent protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria and its homologs from
diverse marine animals are widely used as universal genetically encoded fluorescent labels …

This critical review provides an overview of the continually expanding family of fluorescent
proteins (FPs) that have become essential tools for studies of cell biology and physiology …

Technical advancements have widened the limits of remote sensing in mapping shallow
water benthic habitats and bathymetry over the last decades. On the other hand, the needs …

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 …

Coral reef ecosystems thrive in tropical oligotrophic oceans because of the relationship
between corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae called Symbiodinium …

Photoinduced reactions play an important role in the photocycle of fluorescent proteins from
the green fluorescent protein (GFP) family. Among such processes are photoisomerization …

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 …

Coral reef declines have been recorded for all major tropical ocean basins since the 1980s,
averaging approximately 30-50% reductions in reef cover globally. These losses are a result …

Elevated temperatures resulting from climate change pose a clear threat to reef‐building
corals; however, the traits that might influence corals' survival and dispersal during climate …

A community ecology approach to the study of the most common group of zooxanthellae,
dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium, was applied to symbiotic invertebrate …
