Symbiodinium tridacnidorum sp. nov., a dinoflagellate common to Indo-Pacific giant clams, and a revised morphological description of Symbiodinium microadriaticum Freudenthal, emended Trench & Blank (2015, background): “Since the early 1990s, genetic analyses have dominated many aspects of Symbiodinium research (Coffroth & Santos, 2005; Sampayo et al., 2009), and are the de facto diagnostic to examine ecological and geographic patterns of diversity (LaJeunesse et al., 2010).”
Mixing it up: Multiple symbiont acquisition strategies as an adaptive mechanism in the coral Stylophora pistillata (2012, background): “While some species do host multiple clades, at abundant or background levels, in the va st majority of coral species, adults feature extremely stable and highly specific symbioses with a single Symbiodinium clade (Goulet 2006), even during stress events (LaJeunesse et al. 2010; Stat et al. 2009a; Th”
Many corals host thermally resistant symbionts in high-temperature habitat (2011, background): “Observational studies of natural coral-bleaching events (Baker et al. 2004; Jones et al. 2008; LaJeunesse et al. 2010b) and physiological experiments (Rowan 2004; Berkelmans and van Oppen 2006) have shown that hosting genetically distinct types of algal endosymbionts, Symbiodinium spp., may alter…”
Patterns of Symbiodinium distribution in three giant clam species across the biodiverse Bird’s Head region of Indonesia (2012, background): “In addition to being common in scleractinian corals worldwide (LaJeunesse 2005), in the Indian Ocean it has also been found in anemones, corallimorphs, zoanthids, alcyonaceans, and also Tridacna (LaJeunesse et al. 2010).”
Ecologically differentiated stress-tolerant endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium (Dinophyceae) Clade D are different species (2014, methodology): “…of thermally tolerant endosymbionts have focused largely on Symbiodinium Clade D (Baker et al. 2004; Berkelmans & van Oppen 2006; Jones et al. 2008; LaJeunesse et al. 2009; 2010b), yet the merit of such discussions depends on the accuracy of interpreting the genetic variation observed among Clade…”
Community dynamics and physiology of Symbiodinium spp. before, during, and after a coral bleaching event (2014, background): “…been of particular interest, and an increased prevalence of corals hosting symbionts within this clade has been documented in regions that regularly experience adverse environmental conditions (i.e., high temperatures and turbidity; Baker et al. 2004; Fabricius et al. 2004; LaJeunesse et al. 2010).”
Acclimation and adaptation of scleractinian coral communities along environmental gradients within an Indonesian reef system (2010, background): “The presence of clade D in the most marginal environment where temperatures reach 34 °C, and comparisonwith previous studies (Rowan, 2004; Mieog et al., 2007; Mostafavi et al., 2007; LaJeunesse et al., 2010), infers that clade D here is thermally tolerant.”
