Flexibility and Specificity in Coral-Algal Symbiosis: Diversity, Ecology, and Biogeography of Symbiodinium (2003, unknown): “New molecular methods applied to field-collected material are paving the way for investigations of this kind (LaJeunesse 2001, 2002; LaJeunesse et al. 2003; Santos et al. 2003a; S.R. Santos, T.L. Shearer, A.R. Hannes, M.A. Coffroth, submitted manuscript).”
Bleaching Resistance and the Role of Algal Endosymbionts (2009, background): “In the Caribbean gorgonian, Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae, ∼96% of the 575 surveyed colonies from 12 populations harboured a single Symbiodinium clone ( Santos et al. 2003a ).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “(200 occur (Baillie et al., 2000; Rodriguez-Lanetty, 2003; Santos and Coffroth, 2003; Santos et al., 2003), also potentially favoring rapid evolution.”
Closely related Symbiodinium spp. differ in relative dominance in coral reef host communities across environmental, latitudinal and biogeographic gradients (2004, background): “These patterns of geographic partitioning are reinforced by genetic surveys at the ‘population level’ that have identified clear geographic structure within specific ITS lineages (Santos et al. 2003, 2004).”
Understanding diversity in coral-algal symbiosis: a cluster-based approach to interpreting fine-scale genetic variation in the genus Symbiodinium (2009, background): “Furthermore, Symbiodinium frequently reproduce asexually within their hosts (Wulff 1985; LaJeunesse 2001; Rodriguez-Lanetty 2003), while evidence for sexual recombination within Symbiodinium is limited and indirect (Baillie et al. 2000; Rodriguez-Lanetty 2003; Santos and Coffroth 2003; Santos et al”
High genetic differentiation and cross-shelf patterns of genetic diversity among Great Barrier Reef populations of Symbiodinium (2009, background): “Previously, only two studies have investigated the withintype population structure of Symbiodinium (Santos et al. 2003; Magalon et al. 2006), and these have produced contrasting results.”
MICROSATELLITE MARKERS REVEAL POPULATION GENETIC STRUCTURE OF THE TOXIC DINOFLAGELLATE ALEXANDRIUM TAMARENSE (DINOPHYCEAE) IN JAPANESE COASTAL WATERS 1 (2007, background): “Santos et al. (2003) reported high levels of genetic diversity and population differentiation among 12 populations lying along an ~450 km transect in the Bahamas for the first time in a dinoflagellate species, Symbiodinium sp. clade B symbionts hosted by the Caribbean gorgonian Pseudo-pterogorgia…”
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, background): “These patterns further indicate that many host-specialist symbionts have limited dispersal capabilities, a possibility that could be tested by population genetic analyses (Santos et al., 2003).”
