Development of clade-specific Symbiodinium primers for quantitative PCR (qPCR) and their application to detecting clade D symbionts in Caribbean corals (2009, background): “(LaJeunesse 2002; Santos and LaJeunesse 2006), two colonies of C. natans (Santos and LaJeunesse 2006; Baker and Romanski 2007 ) and one colony of M. cavernosa (Santos and LaJeunesse 2006), despite the fact that Symbiodinium ITS-2 types have been identified from at least 200 colonies of these host s”
Patterns of Symbiodinium distribution in three giant clam species across the biodiverse Bird’s Head region of Indonesia (2012, background): “Many coral species are able to host multiple Symbiodinium types, sometimes even within the same colony (Rowan & Knowlton 1995, Apprill & Gates 2007, Baker & Romanski 2007).”
Novel algal symbiont (Symbiodinium spp.) diversity in reef corals of Western Australia (2011, unknown): “…species that were known to be capable of hosting clade D symbionts, based on detections from conspecifics in the present study and (as reviewed in Baker & Romanski 2007) Baker (1999), Fabricius et al. (2004), Chen et al. (2005), Visram & Douglas (2006), Mostafavi et al. (2007), and Abrego et…”
Distributions of stress-resistant coral symbionts match environmental patterns at local but not regional scales (2009, background): “The proportion of scleractinian corals that can host multiple symbionts has been recently debated (Goulet 2006, Baker & Romanski 2007), but estimates using adequate sample sizes (n > 5 samples per species) suggest that at least 58% (72/124) of the species examined hosted more than one clade of…”
Tradeoffs to Thermal Acclimation: Energetics and Reproduction of a Reef Coral with Heat Tolerant Symbiodinium Type-D (2011, background): “Not all corals can change their symbionts, and it has been argued that those that can, such as the Acropora, may be the exception rather than the rule [66, 67].”
Understanding diversity in coral-algal symbiosis: a cluster-based approach to interpreting fine-scale genetic variation in the genus Symbiodinium (2009, background): “First, intensive sampling efforts are required to form meaningful conclusions regarding the distribution of a given Symbiodinium type (Baker and Romanski 2007).”
One-year survey of a single Micronesian reef reveals extraordinarily rich diversity of Symbiodinium types in soritid foraminifera (2007, background): “An alternative view considers multiple symbiotic partnerships within single coral hosts to be exceptions rather than the norm (Goulet 2006), and this debate continues to be a subject of considerable controversy (Baker and Romanski 2007; Goulet 2007).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “but debate exists over whether this is a general rule (Goulet, 2006, 2007; Baird et al., 2007; Baker and Romanski, 2007).”
Many corals host thermally resistant symbionts in high-temperature habitat (2011, background): “Instead, our data roughly agree with Baker and Romanski (2007) that 64–78% of scleractinian corals might host multiple clades.”
