The symbiosis between cnidarians (eg, corals or sea anemones) and intracellular
dinoflagellate algae of the genus Symbiodinium is of immense ecological importance. In …

Some invertebrates have enlisted autotrophic unicellular algae to provide a competitive
metabolic advantage in nutritionally demanding habitats. These symbioses exist primarily …

'It should be clear that the upper temperature limit for life cannot be accurately
defined'(Schmidt-Nielsen 1996). The thermal physiology of zooxanthellate reef corals is …

Coral reefs have entered an era of 'ecological crisis' as climate change drives catastrophic
reef loss worldwide. Coral growth and stress susceptibility are regulated by their …

Bleached and non-bleached fragments of three species of Hawaiian corals were exposed to
enhanced and ambient concentrations of zooplankton at 1 and 6 m depth to determine the …

This study aimed at investigating changes in feeding rates of three scleractinian coral
species (Stylophora pistillata, Turbinaria reniformis and Galaxea fascicularis) between …

We examined the effects of upwelling, depth, morphology and polyp size on coral feeding in
3 coral species in the eastern Pacific. Feeding rates and the species composition of …

Symbiotic algae in coral species distributed over a large depth range are confronted with
major differences in light conditions. We studied the genetic variation of Symbiodinium in the …

A new high‐resolution imaging fluorometer (Imaging‐PAM) was used to identify
heterogeneity of photosynthetic activity across the surface of corals. Three species were …

Zooplankton concentrations are known to vary by as much as an order of magnitude over a
lunar cycle. Here, we conducted an experiment to determine the effect of ambient …
