Differential effects of ocean acidification on growth and photosynthesis among phylotypes of Symbiodinium (Dinophyceae) (2011, background): “Few studies have been published regarding the diversity of free-living populations of Symbiodinium (Coffroth et al. 2006; Manning and Gates 2008; Pochon et al. 2010); however, of the phylotypes used in this study, both A1 and B1 have previously been cultured from environmental water samples taken fr”
Symbiodinium tridacnidorum sp. nov., a dinoflagellate common to Indo-Pacific giant clams, and a revised morphological description of Symbiodinium microadriaticum Freudenthal, emended Trench & Blank (2015, background): “The only exceptions found were from samples of Cassiopea andromeda collected in Palau.”
High genetic differentiation and cross-shelf patterns of genetic diversity among Great Barrier Reef populations of Symbiodinium (2009, background): “…Anderson 1987); however, vegetative cells within the host are most likely haploid (Blank 1987; Santos and CoVroth 2003) and sexual recombination, which has not yet been conWrmed, is believed to occur in an environment external to the host (Fitt and Trench 1983; LaJeunesse 2001; Santos et al. 2003).”
Novel algal symbiont (Symbiodinium spp.) diversity in reef corals of Western Australia (2011, background): “Sequences within the same TCS-defined ‘haplotype’ were all scored as the same Symbiodinium type; each ‘haplotype’ took the name of the lowest alphanumeric Symbiodinium type (cf. LaJeunesse 2001) that it contained.”
Breakdown of the coral-algae symbiosis: towards formalising a linkage between warm-water bleaching thresholds and the growth rate of the intracellular zooxanthellae (2012, unknown): “Size (length and width) of dividing zooxanthellae (after LaJeunesse, 2001; LaJeunesse et al., 2005).”
Response of two species of Indo-Pacific corals, Porites cylindrica and Stylophora pistillata, to short-term thermal stress: The host does matter in determining the tolerance of corals to bleaching (2009, background): “Comparison of this gene region effectively discriminates between different ecological types from within each major Symbiodinium clade ( LaJeunesse, 2001, 2002; LaJeunesse et al., 2003).”
Patterns of Symbiodinium distribution in three giant clam species across the biodiverse Bird’s Head region of Indonesia (2012, background): “The bulk of recent research on Symbiodinium diversity is based on DGGE analysis of ITS2 rDNA, which has been suggested to be the most broadly applicable and appropriate marker for characterizing Symbiodinium diversity (LaJeunesse 2001, Correa et al. 2009).”
Specificity in communities of Symbiodinium in corals from Johnston Atoll (2009, methodology): “Published Symbiodinium ITS2 sequences were named as in previous studies (LaJeunesse 2001, 85 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 386: 83–96, 2009 2002, 2005, LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004b).”
Biogeographic partitioning and host specialization among foraminiferan dinoflagellate symbionts (Symbiodinium; Dinophyta) (2004, background): “…Guam, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), and the eastern Pacific (Panama) to 100 ITS 2 rDNA sequences of clade C Symbiodinium obtained from cnidarian and molluscan hosts, which include all ITS 2 C ‘‘types’’ known to date (LaJeunesse 2001, 2002; LaJeunesse et al. 2003; LaJeunesse, unpublished data).”
Lipids and stable carbon isotopes in two species of Hawaiian corals, Porites compressa and Montipora verrucosa, following a bleaching event (2004, background): “Rowan et al. 1997; Baker 2001; LaJeunesse 2001; Toller et al. 2001), density (Stimson et al. 2002), and physiology (e.g.”
The distribution of mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) and the phylogenetic identity of symbiotic dinoflagellates in cnidarian hosts from the Mexican Caribbean (2006, methodology): “The reaction products were run on an 8% polyacrylamide denaturing gel containing a gradient of 3.15 M urea/18% deionized formamide to 5.6 M urea/37% deionized formamide and separated by electrophoresisfor9.5hat150Vataconstanttemperature of 60 °C along with ITS 2 standards as described in LaJeunesse”
The role of zooxanthellae in the thermal tolerance of corals: a ‘nugget of hope’ for coral reefs in an era of climate change (2006, background): “An emerging ‘nugget of hope’ for the long-term survival of coral reefs is related to the ability of some corals to associate with a range of zooxanthella types (Rowan & Knowlton 1995; LaJeunesse 2001; van Oppen et al. 2001; Baker 2003).”
Catastrophic mortality on inshore coral reefs of the Florida Keys due to severe low‐temperature stress (2011, background): “…of cold-water stress on three common Caribbean reef-building corals (Montastraea faveolata, Siderastrea siderea, and Porites astreoides) and their genotypically distinct Symbiodinium populations [sensu LaJeunesse, 2001, 2002; internal transcribed spacer-2 (ITS-2) region types A4a, B1, B5a, C3].”
Experimental biology of coral reef ecosystems (2004, background): “Molecular markers such as ribosomal RNA, the internal transcribed region (ITS), or amplified fragment-length polymorphisms (AFLP) have been used to answer interesting questions on systematics, presence of sibling species, and hybridization.”
Patterns of association between Symbiodinium and members of the Montastraea annularis species complex on spatial scales ranging from within colonies to between geographic regions (2006, methodology): “The cloning and sequence data for both the SSU rDNA and ITS2 regions (GenBank accession numbers DQ838542, DQ838543, DQ838544, DQ838545, DQ838546, DQ838547, DQ838548) veriWed that the genotypes identiWed by RFLP agreed with those designated by both Rowan and Powers (1991) and LaJeunesse (2001, 2002)”
