From protists to humans, all animals and plants are inhabited by microbial organisms. There
is an increasing appreciation that these resident microbes influence the fitness of their plant …

Symbiosis with photoautotrophic organisms has evolved in various species and even whole
animal lineages, which allowed them to directly benefit from photosynthesis. This so-called …

The advent of molecular systematics has revolutionized our knowledge of biodiversity,
revealing undiscovered cryptic lineages across the tree of life. Correspondingly, an …

Nudibranch molluscs occur in marine ecosystems worldwide and prey on numerous
invertebrate species. During feeding, dietary fatty acids (FAs) unusual for nudibranchs are …

Symbioses with the dinoflagellate Symbiodinium are widespread among marine
invertebrates and protists, especially in nutritionally demanding habitats, such as tropical …

This chapter introduces Symbiodiniaceae, the diverse group of dinoflagellate microalgae,
that form an obligate symbiosis with corals and other coral reef organisms. The …

Large‐scale environmental disturbances may impact both partners in coral host–
Symbiodinium systems. Elucidation of the assembly patterns in such complex and …

Dinoflagellates, known as zooxanthellae, occur endo-symbiotically in many marine
invertebrates including corals. Knowledge of zooxanthellae genera can contribute to a better …

Abstract The Red Sea is host to one of the world's largest reef systems where invertebrates
make up the majority of the diversity. Of those marine invertebrates, those that host …

The phylum Entoprocta is a cryptic group of sessile, primarily marine filter-feeding
invertebrates, commonly called goblet worms. During a recent survey of mesophotic reef …
