Catastrophic mortality on inshore coral reefs of the Florida Keys due to severe low‐temperature stress (2011, methodology): “Symbiodinium identification Genetic identity of Symbiodinium associated with each coral sample was determined following the protocols of LaJeunesse et al. (2003).”
Novel algal symbiont (Symbiodinium spp.) diversity in reef corals of Western Australia (2011, background): “…et al. 2008, Thornhill et al. 2008) and in isolated locations (e.g. LaJeunesse et al. 2004a) and studies done on the host species sampled in the present study throughout the Indo-Pacific (e.g. Loh et al. 2001, LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004b, 2008, 2010a, Chen et al. 2005, McClanahan et al. 2005).”
Many corals host thermally resistant symbionts in high-temperature habitat (2011, background): “The common back-reef corals in the genus Porites generally house a single symbiont type, and this specific coral–algal association has been shown to be heat-resistant relative to other corals (Baker 2003; LaJeunesse et al. 2003; Fitt et al. 2009).”

Community dynamics and physiology of Symbiodinium spp. before, during, and after a coral bleaching event (2014, methodology): “Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was isolated using a modified Promega Wizard genomic DNA extraction protocol (Promega Corporation) and the PCR amplified ITS2 region of nuclear ribonucleic acid (RNA) genes was analyzed via denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE; LaJeunesse et al. 2003).”
Response of two species of Indo-Pacific corals, Porites cylindrica and Stylophora pistillata, to short-term thermal stress: The host does matter in determining the tolerance of corals to bleaching (2009, methodology): “PCR was conducted using the “touchdown” amplification profile prescribed by LaJeunesse et al. (2003) and with the primers “ITSintfor2” (5′GAATTGCAGA ACTCCGTG-3′) and “ITS2CLAMP” (5′CGCCCGCCGC GCCCCGCGCC CGTCCCGCCG CCCCCGCCC GGGATCCATA TGCTTAAGTT CAGCGGGT-3′).”
Understanding diversity in coral-algal symbiosis: a cluster-based approach to interpreting fine-scale genetic variation in the genus Symbiodinium (2009, background): “As studies investigating the ecology and biogeography of Symbiodinium using ITS-2 have developed over the last *7 years (e.g., LaJeunesse 2002; LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004a, b, 2008b), they have emphasized differences in the distribution of closely related sequence variants, or ‘‘species’’…”

Distinct ITS types of Symbiodinium in clade C correlate with cnidarian/dinoflagellate specificity during onset of symbiosis (2004, background): “…· Symbiodinium · Scleractinia Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher Mar Ecol Prog Ser 275: 97–102, 2004 dinium types are restricted to certain host taxa, depth ranges, and geographic regions (LaJeunesse 2002, LaJeunesse et al. 2003, Santos et al. 2004).”
High diversity and host specificity observed among symbiotic dinoflagellates in reef coral communities from Hawaii (2004, methodology): “Nucleic acid extractions on 10 to 30 mg of dinoflagellate material were conducted using a modified Promega Wizard genomic DNA extraction protocol (LaJeunesse et al. 2003).”

The Adaptive Hypothesis of Bleaching (2004, background): “In the tropical Indo-Pacific, initial observations of the ubiquity of clade C (Baker and Rowan 1997; Baker 1999) have been supported (Loh et al. 1998; Pochon et al. 2001; van Oppen et al. 2001; LaJeunesse et al. 2003; Baker 2003), but with increasing recognition of the occurrence of an additional cl”
Chronic parrotfish grazing impedes coral recovery after bleaching (2006, methodology): “…PCR products were subsequently electrophoresed on denaturing gradient gels (45–80% formamide, 8% acrylamide denaturing gradient gels; 100% consists of 7 M urea and 40% deionized formamide) following the protocol of LaJeunesse and Trench (2000), with the modifications of LaJeunesse et al.

Adaptive bleaching: a general phenomenon (2004, background): “ LaJeunesse (2002) found a few symbiont types that occur in many taxa of hosts, but rare types that have high host specificity.”
