Most corals may not change their symbionts (2006, background): “The distinction between zooxanthella genotypes is based on different parts of the zooxanthella genome such as nuclear genes encoding either the small subunit (SSU) or the large subunit (LSU) of the ribosomal RNA, internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2), 5.8S regions and large subunit chloroplas”
RECOGNIZING DINOFLAGELLATE SPECIES USING ITS rDNA SEQUENCES 1 (2007, background): “There is evidence that this isolation gives rise to new species with ITS genetic divergences LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004 ).”
Symbiont acquisition strategy drives host–symbiont associations in the southern Great Barrier Reef (2008, background): “1997; Rodriguez-Lanetty et al. 2001; LaJeunesse et al. 2004a, b; LaJeunesse 2005), and as a function of colony depth (Rowan and Knowlton 1995; Baker and Rowan 1997; Toller et al. 2001; LaJeunesse et al. 2003; Iglesias-Prieto et al. 2004) and the irradiance level in individual colonies (Rowan et al”
Ecologically differentiated stress-tolerant endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium (Dinophyceae) Clade D are different species (2014, background): “It associates with a wide diversity of mostly scleractinian taxa and is common in coral communities from warm equatorial, turbid environments and rarely occurs at northern and southern latitudes higher than the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, respectively (Figs S1–S5; LaJeunesse et al. 2004a, 2010a”
Biogeographic partitioning and host specialization among foraminiferan dinoflagellate symbionts (Symbiodinium; Dinophyta) (2004, background): “…host communities (Baker 2003, unpublished data; LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004), and with over 100 ecologically distinct ‘‘types’’ now described, it is the most diverse and prevalent symbiont group among cnidarian host taxa worldwide (LaJeunesse 2002; LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004, unpublished data).”
Closely related Symbiodinium spp. differ in relative dominance in coral reef host communities across environmental, latitudinal and biogeographic gradients (2004, methodology): “To this end, large-scale surveys of Symbiodinium spp. diversity and ecology have been initiated on stony corals and related host groups from the southern Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Hawaii, and Caribbean regions (Loh et al. 1998, Baker 1999, LaJeunesse 2002, LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004).”

Long‐standing environmental conditions, geographic isolation and host–symbiont specificity influence the relative ecological dominance and genetic diversification of coral endosymbionts in the genus Symbiodinium (2010, methodology): “Prevalence and diversity of Clade D Symbiodinium in the Indian Ocean Clade D Symbiodinium were significantly more frequent among hosts collected from warm and turbid sites of the north-eastern Indian Ocean in comparison with the western Indian Ocean or the central GBR (Fig.”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “For example, LaJeunesse et al. (2004) found one colony of Porites compressa in Hawaii that, 10 years after transplantation from deep to shallow water, contained the same symbiont type as its conspecifics at shallow sites, and also found one colony of Fungia scutaria that continued to host an…”
Multi-year, seasonal genotypic surveys of coral-algal symbioses reveal prevalent stability or post-bleaching reversion (2006, background): “The external environment and geographic location modulate these patterns of association (e.g. Loh et al. 2001; Rodriguez-Lanetty et al. 2001; LaJeunesse 2002, Iglesias-Prieto et al. 2004, LaJeunesse et al. 2004a, b).”
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’’…”
