This review discusses the evidence for the involvement of superoxide radical, hydrogen
peroxide and singlet oxygen (reactive oxygen species, ROS) as triggers for coral bleaching …

Coral health depends on a fragile partnership between the coral hosts and the
endosymbiotic dinoflagellate symbionts. Sequence-level omics techniques are …

Corals rely on photosynthesis by their endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium spp.) to
form the basis of tropical coral reefs. High sea surface temperatures driven by climate …

Metabolite exchange is fundamental to the viability of the cnidarian–Symbiodiniaceae
symbiosis and survival of coral reefs. Coral holobiont tolerance to environmental change …

Coral reefs continue to experience extreme environmental pressure from climate change
stressors, but many coral reefs are also exposed to eutrophication. It has been proposed that …

Endosymbioses between dinoflagellate algae (Symbiodinium sp.) and scleractinian coral
species form the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. The coral symbiosis is highly …

Massive coral bleaching events result in extensive coral loss throughout the world. These
events are mainly caused by seawater warming, but are exacerbated by the subsequent …

Iron (Fe) is essential to the physiology and growth of marine phytoplankton. It remains
unclear how important iron is to the functional ecology of symbiotic dinoflagellates in the …

Elevated sea surface temperatures from a severe and prolonged El Niño event (2014–2016)
fueled by climate change have resulted in mass coral bleaching (loss of dinoflagellate …

Corals holobionts are formed by a dynamic multipartite symbiosis with intracellular
photoautotrophs in the genus Symbiodinium and a consortium of other microbes that include …
