Distributions of stress-resistant coral symbionts match environmental patterns at local but not regional scales (2009, background): “…have documented variation in bleaching sensitivity across distinct coral species (McClanahan et al. 2001, 2007), and 2 studies have seen differences in thermal tolerance among members of a coral species that could be due to genetic differences (Smith-Keune & van Oppen 2006, Ulstrup et al. 2006).”
Increased rate of D1 repair in coral symbionts during bleaching is insufficient to counter accelerated photo‐inactivation (2011, background): “In this study on in hospite symbionts, contrary to a study on cultured Symbiodinium (Takahashi et al. 2009), we show that coral symbionts not only retain their full capacity for the repair of PSII when exposed to bleaching conditions (400 mmol photons m22 s21 and 32uC), but were also able to signifi”
The physiological response of reef corals to diel fluctuations in seawater temperature (2011, background): “damicornis from Australia, they declined ~15–25% after 2 weeks at 29 °C (ambient+3 °C) (Ulstrup et al., 2006).”
Real-time PCR reveals a high incidence of Symbiodinium clade D at low levels in four scleractinian corals across the Great Barrier Reef: implications for symbiont shuffling (2007, methodology): “The DNA samples were the same as those used in van Oppen et al. (2005) (Acropora millepora, Acropora tenuis and Stylophora pistillata), and in Ulstrup et al.”

Bleaching Resistance and the Role of Algal Endosymbionts (2009, result): “In contrast to evidence from these two studies, which classify clade D zooxanthellae as tolerant to both low and widely varying temperatures, clade D has been observed more commonly in corals inhabiting warm waters in a variety of regions globally (Baker et al. 2004, 2005; Fabricius et al. 2004; Uls”
Upper thermal thresholds of shallow vs. deep populations of the precious Mediterranean red coral Corallium rubrum (L.): Assessing the potential effects of warming in the NW Mediterranean (2008, background): “Furthermore, in thermotolerance studies it has been demonstrated that upper thermal limits of tropical corals are correlated with their different temperature environment and previous stress history (Brown et al., 2002; Coles et al., 1976; Jokiel, 2004; Ulstrup et al., 2006).”
Multiple symbiotic partnerships are common in scleractinian corals, but not in octocorals: Comment on Goulet (2006) (2007, background): “…with 8 more recent studies (Banaszak et al. 2006, Berkelmans & Van Oppen 2006, Garren et al. 2006, Rotjan et al. 2006, Thornhill et al. 2006b, Ulstrup et al. 2006, Warner et al. 2006, Apprill & Gates 2007), this literature is critical to a metaanalysis of coral flexibility, because these…”
Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Reef Building Corals (2010, methodology): “Given that reduced flow and hypoxic conditions may further reduce PSII ( Ulstrup et al. 2005 ), one should always verify that such devices are not creating further artifacts in their particular system.”
