Host species often support a genetically diverse guild of symbionts, the identity and
performance of which can determine holobiont fitness under particular environmental …

The majority of reef‐building corals acquire their obligate algal symbionts (Symbiodinium)
from the environment. However, factors shaping the initial establishment of coral–algal …

Recent advances in quantifying the heritability of Symbiodinium communities associated
with corals across a range of reproductive and symbiont transmission modes raise the …

The ability of reef corals to adapt or acclimatize to projected climate change is a critical, but
controversial, question in contemporary coral reef science and conservation. Much research …

Mutualisms often involve one host supporting multiple symbionts, whose identity, density
and intraguild interactions can influence the nature of the mutualism and performance of the …

The performance and function of reef corals depends on the genetic identity of their
symbiotic algal partners, with some symbionts providing greater benefits (eg, photosynthate …

The mutualistic symbioses between reef‐building corals and micro‐algae form the basis of
coral reef ecosystems, yet recent environmental changes threaten their survival. Diversity in …

Determining the extent to which Symbiodinium communities in corals are inherited versus
environmentally acquired is fundamental to understanding coral resilience and to predicting …

The diversity of symbiotic (“zooxanthellae”) contained within reef-building corals was
surveyed using Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs) in large subunit …

The capacity of coral-dinoflagellate mutualisms to adapt to a changing climate relies in part
on standing variation in host and symbiont populations, but rarely have the interactions …
