Coral reefs have suffered long‐term decline due to a range of anthropogenic disturbances
and are now also under threat from climate change. For appropriate management of these …

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

Giant clams are found in a mutualistic association with Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates.
While clams are economically important for fisheries, Symbiodiniaceae are responsible for …

Symbioses are widespread in nature and occur along a continuum from parasitism to
mutualism. Coral–dinoflagellate symbioses are defined as mutualistic because both …

Marine invertebrates representing at least five phyla are symbiotic with dinoflagellates from
the genus Symbiodinium. This group of single-celled protists was once considered to be a …

Algal endosymbionts of the genus Symbiodinium play a key role in the nutrition of reef
building corals and strongly affect the thermal tolerance and growth rate of the animal host …

The evolutionary success and continued survival of reef-building corals under increasing
environmental change will, in part, be determined by the composition of their endosymbiotic …

Symbiotic dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium are found in association
with a wide variety of shallow-water invertebrates and protists dwelling in tropical and …

The diversity of symbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium) in pocilloporid corals originating
from various reef habitats surrounding Heron Island, southern Great Barrier Reef, was …

Dinoflagellate taxonomy is based primarily on morphology and morphometric data that can
be difficult to obtain. In contrast, molecular data can be rapidly and cost‐effectively acquired …
