Patterns of Symbiodinium distribution in three giant clam species across the biodiverse Bird’s Head region of Indonesia (2012, background): “…an important role in determining the relative abundance of clade D (Baker et al. 2004, Fabricius et al. 2004, McClanahan et al. 2007, La Jeunesse et al. 2010, Oliver & Palumbi 2011), al though over large scales these pattern may be obscured by other biogeographic factors (Oliver & Palumbi 2009).”
Remarkably high and consistent tolerance of a Red Sea coral to acute and chronic thermal stress exposures (2021, background): “…impacts is projected to vary greatly among locations (van Hooidonk et al. 2016), with many coral populations already identified as having a superior thermal tolerance compared to most due to prior exposure to elevated temperatures (Oliver and Palumbi 2011; Howells et al. 2012; Schoepf et al. 2015).”
Mechanisms of Thermal Tolerance in Reef-Building Corals across a Fine-Grained Environmental Mosaic: Lessons from Ofu, American Samoa (2018, background): “In Ofu, subtle differences in temperature among pools give rise to differences in Symbiodinium communities between habitats, with clade D occurring at higher frequencies in HV pool corals (Oliver and Palumbi, 2010; Palumbi et al., 2014).”
