• The Adaptive Hypothesis of Bleaching (2004, background): “Studies that have reported a single symbiont taxon occurring in a given host species (Coffroth et al. 2001; Belda-Baillie et al. 2002; Diekmann et al. 2002) have often relied on relatively low-resolution rDNA analyses that are imprecise in their identifications.”
• Bleaching Resistance and the Role of Algal Endosymbionts (2009, background): “Superficially, this hypothesis seems to be contradicted by the observation that some corals exhibiting strong symbiont specificity and temporal stability at adulthood also take up a range of symbiont types and clades shortly after settlement (Coffroth et al. 2001; Goulet and Coffroth 2003a).”
• COMPARISON OF ENDOSYMBIOTIC AND FREE‐LIVING SYMBIODINIUM (DINOPHYCEAE) DIVERSITY IN A HAWAIIAN REEF ENVIRONMENT 1 (2010, background): “…samples by culturing cells and by using suspending asymbiotic larvae and aposymbiotic adult hosts in the water column until they become infected (Carlos et al. 1999, Coffroth et al. 2001, 2006, Gou et al. 2003, Lewis and Coffroth 2004, Thornhill et al. 2006a, Hirose et al. 2008, Porto et al. 2008).”
• Adaptive bleaching: a general phenomenon (2004, background): “kuna acquires its zooxanthellae from the environment and can take up those of more than one clade (Coffroth et al., 2001), but only those of clade B persist.”
• High diversity and host specificity observed among symbiotic dinoflagellates in reef coral communities from Hawaii (2004, background): “…the diversity, ecology, and evolution of Symbiodinium spp. and their host relations through the use of molecular genetic markers (e.g. Rowan and Powers 1991; Rowan et al. 1997; Baker and Rowan 1997; Coffroth et al. 2001; LaJeunesse 2002; Baker 2003; LaJeunesse et al. 2003; Santos et al. 2004).”
• High genetic differentiation and cross-shelf patterns of genetic diversity among Great Barrier Reef populations of Symbiodinium (2009, background): “For corals that acquire Symbiodinium horizontally, symbionts may become established in the host during the larval (Schwarz et al. 1999; van Oppen 2001) or post-settlement phase (Kinzie 1974; Babcock and Heyward 1986; CoVroth et al. 2001; Little et al. 2004; Gomez-Cabrera et al. 2008).”
• Flexibility and Specificity in Coral-Algal Symbiosis: Diversity, Ecology, and Biogeography of Symbiodinium (2003, unknown): “…single species of host has been found in foraminiferans (Pawlowski et al. 2001, Pochon et al. 2001), anemones (Santos et al. 2003c), gorgonians (Coffroth et al. 2001; Santos et al. 2003b; S.R. Santos, T.L. Shearer; A.R. Hannes; M.A. Coffroth, submitted manuscript; but see also Goulet 1999,…”
• GENETIC COMPARISONS OF FRESHLY ISOLATED VERSUS CULTURED SYMBIOTIC DINOFLAGELLATES: IMPLICATIONS FOR EXTRAPOLATING TO THE INTACT SYMBIOSIS (2001, background): “By the time juvenile gorgonians reach 10 cm in height, only Symbiodinium clade B can be detected in the host (Coffroth et al. 2001).”
• The distribution of dimethylsulfoniopropionate in tropical Pacific coral reef invertebrates (2006, background): “In some species they are obtained maternally, whereas in others they are acquired in later freeliving planktonic or sessile stages (e.g., Hirose et al. 2000; Coffroth et al. 2001; Weis et al. 2001; Schwarz et al. 2002; Pasternak et al. 2004).”
• Closely related Symbiodinium spp. differ in relative dominance in coral reef host communities across environmental, latitudinal and biogeographic gradients (2004, background): “Because adult colonies often show long-term stability with a particular symbiont type (Coffroth et al. 2001, Goulet & Coffroth 2003, Iglesias-Prieto et al. 2004, LaJeunesse et al. 2005), the present host–symbiont community structure among broadcast-spawning coral taxa probably reflects the…”
• Most corals may not change their symbionts (2006, background): “The few studies on zooxanthellae in newly settled polyps of coral species that host only 1 zooxanthella clade as adults suggest that the primary polyp stage is more flexible to hosting multiple zooxanthella genotypes, even from different algal clades (Coffroth et al. 2001).”
• Assessing the ‘deep reef refugia’ hypothesis: focus on Caribbean reefs (2010, background): “Comparing endosymbiont community composition of parental populations and offspring reveals that, similar to selection of parental habitat, juveniles adopt Symbiodinium types similar to that of the parent (Coffroth et al. 2001; Weis et al. 2001; Rodriguez-Lanetty et al. 2004).”
• Genetic composition of zooxanthellae between and within colonies of the octocoral Plexaura kuna, based on small subunit rDNA and multilocus DNA fingerprinting (2003, background): “Newly settled P. kuna polyps, however, can initially acquire multiple algal genotypes (Coffroth et al. 2001).”
