• Bleaching Resistance and the Role of Algal Endosymbionts (2009, methodology): “Superficially, this hypothesis seems to be contradicted by the observation that some corals exhibiting strong symbiont specificity and temporal stability at adulthood also take up a range of symbiont types and clades shortly after settlement (Coffroth et al. 2001; Goulet and Coffroth 2003a ).”
• Effect of short‐term exposure to elevated temperatures and light levels on photosynthesis of different host‐symbiont combinations in the Aiptasia pallida/Symbiodinium symbiosis (2005, methodology): “…the zooxanthellae obtained from Florida and Bermuda anemones and the Florida symbionts that had been maintained in Bermuda anemones was confirmed using a polymerase chain reaction amplification of DNA encoding for the small subunit ribosomal RNA (ssRNA) as described in Goulet and Coffroth (2003a).”
• Adaptive bleaching: a general phenomenon (2004, background): “(2002) is Entacmaea quadricolor, and Rhodactis (Heteractis) lucida of LaJeunesse (2002) is Ragactis lucida).”
• Symbiodinium sp. associations in the gorgonian Pseudopterogorgia elisabethae in the Bahamas: high levels of genetic variability and population structure in symbiotic dinoflagellates (2003, background): “clade B at various geographic sites and depths in the Caribbean (Goulet and Coffroth 2003).”
• The Adaptive Hypothesis of Bleaching (2004, background): “(2001) found that juveniles of the octocoral Plexaura kuna could simultaneously associate with several symbionts, but individual adults appear to host just one, although that type varies from individual to individual (Goulet and Coffroth 2003).”
• 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).”
• 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).”
