[HTML][HTML] Building consensus around the assessment and interpretation of Symbiodiniaceae diversity
Dinoflagellates in the family Symbiodiniaceae occupy multiple ecological niches on tropical,
subtropical, and temperate reefs, ranging from species that are exclusively free-living to …

Light, temperature, photosynthesis, heterotrophy, and the lower depth limits of mesophotic coral ecosystems
The attenuation of light with increasing depth, along with reduced exposure to wave stress,
plays an important role in vertically structuring coral reef communities. Benthic …

Taxonomic classification of the reef coral families Merulinidae, Montastraeidae, and Diploastraeidae (Cnidaria: Anthozoa: Scleractinia)
Modern coral taxonomy has begun to resolve many long-standing problems in traditional
systematics stemming from its reliance on skeletal macromorphology. By integrating …

The new systematics of Scleractinia: integrating molecular and morphological evidence
The taxonomy of scleractinian corals has traditionally been established based on
morphology at the “macro” scale since the time of Carl Linnaeus. Taxa described using …

Functional diversity of photobiological traits within the genus Symbiodinium appears to be governed by the interaction of cell size with cladal designation
Dinoflagellates of the genus Symbiodinium express broad diversity in both genetic identity
(phylogeny) and photosynthetic function to presumably optimize ecological success across …

Morphological traits can track coral reef responses to the Anthropocene
Susceptibility to human‐driven environmental changes is mediated by species traits.
Therefore, identifying traits that predict organism performance, ecosystem function and …
