Novel algal symbiont (Symbiodinium spp.) diversity in reef corals of Western Australia (2011, background): “…that were known to be capable of hosting clade D symbionts, based on detections from conspecifics in the present study and (as reviewed in Baker & Romanski 2007) Baker (1999), Fabricius et al. (2004), Chen et al. (2005), Visram & Douglas (2006), Mostafavi et al. (2007), and Abrego et al. (2009).”
Ecologically differentiated stress-tolerant endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium (Dinophyceae) Clade D are different species (2014, background): “…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; Silverstein et al. 2011; but see Mostafavi et al. 2007).”
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): “Recent investigations at sites with extreme temperatures and/or high turbidity found Clade D Symbiodinium in great abundance (Fabricius et al., 2004; Rowan, 2004; Garren et al., 2006; Lien et al., 2007; Mostafavi et al., 2007; LaJeunesse et al., 2008).”
