Closely related Symbiodinium spp. differ in relative dominance in coral reef host communities across environmental, latitudinal and biogeographic gradients (2004, background): “Because adult colonies often show long-term stability with a particular symbiont type (Coffroth et al. 2001, Goulet & Coffroth 2003, Iglesias-Prieto et al. 2004, LaJeunesse et al. 2005), the present host–symbiont community structure among broadcast-spawning coral taxa probably reflects the…”
Flexibility and Specificity in Coral-Algal Symbiosis: Diversity, Ecology, and Biogeography of Symbiodinium (2003, unknown): “This may reflect lack of reliable information on symbiont transmission for many coral species or may indicate that many corals are able to obtain symbionts from the environment throughout their life cycle (see Goulet & Coffroth 2003a,b).”
Diversity in populations of free‐living Symbiodinium from a Caribbean and Pacific reef (2008, background): “Multiple long-term studies have monitored populations of Symbiodinium in hospite over temporal and spatial scales, and among multiple host species (Fagoonee et al. 1999; Goulet and Coffroth, 2003; Thornhill et al. 2006b).”
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): “…commonly used survey techniques for symbiont detection: denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (LaJeunesse 2002), single strand conformational polymorphism (Fabricius et al. 2004), restriction fragment length polymorphism (Diekmann et al. 2002), and DNA fingerprinting (Goulet and Coffroth 2003a).”
Bleaching Resistance and the Role of Algal Endosymbionts (2009, background): “Zooxanthella types harboured by colonies of the gorgonian coral, Plexaura kuna, remained unchanged over a 10 year period, both across different habitats and after transplantation ( Goulet and Coffroth 2003b ).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “For example, Goulet and Coffroth (2003) in a study of eight colonies of the gorgonian coral Plexaura kuna following a bleaching event in 1995 found no evidence of symbiont change, and IglesiasPrieto et al. (2004), transplanting two species of scleractinian corals between different depths on eastern…”
Adaptive bleaching: a general phenomenon (2004, background): “Since some cnidarians do not acquire their symbionts maternally (= vertically) (e.g., Goulet & Coffroth, 2003b ), infective zooxanthellae must generally be present in nature; Kinzie et al. (2001) demonstrated this and that uptake by bleached hosts is dose-dependent.”
Multi-year, seasonal genotypic surveys of coral-algal symbioses reveal prevalent stability or post-bleaching reversion (2006, background): “Baker 2001), few long-term studies of symbiont population change have been reported (but see Goulet and Coffroth 2003 ).”
Stability of coral–endosymbiont associations during and after a thermal stress event in the southern Great Barrier Reef (2009, background): “Long-term stability in host–symbiont associations has also been demonstrated in a number of studies further supporting an intimate relationship between hosts and their symbionts (Goulet and Coffroth 2003; Rodriguez-Lanetty et al. 2003; LaJeunesse et al. 2005; Thornhill et al. 2006a, b; Sampayo et al”
