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): “Virtually unstudied, the functional diversity found within various clades of Symbiodinium is potentially high (e.g. Savage et al., 2002; Tchernov et al., 2004; Sampayo et al., 2008; Thornhill et al., 2008) and may include species important to coral communities during times of major climate change.”
Specificity in communities of Symbiodinium in corals from Johnston Atoll (2009, background): “…in coral physiology such as growth rate, thermal tolerance, photophysiology and bleaching and disease susceptibility (Rowan & Knowlton 1995, Rowan et al. 1997, Baker et al. 2004, Little et al. 2004, Rowan 2004, Tchernov et al. 2004, Sampayo et al. 2008, Stat et al. 2008b, Correa et al. 2009).”
Metabolite profiling of symbiont and host during thermal stress and bleaching in the coral Acropora aspera (2017, background): “…PUFAs, MUFAs) may result from a number of additional interacting factors during thermal stress: (1) structural modifications of lipid membranes (Tchernov et al. 2004; Papina et al. 2007); (2) a decline in mobile product translocation to the host (Papina et al. 2003); (3) a decline in nitrogen…”
Multiple symbiotic partnerships are common in scleractinian corals, but not in octocorals: Comment on Goulet (2006) (2007, background): “Because significant physiological variability exists within clades (Savage et al. 2002, Tchernov et al. 2004), we cannot ignore the potentially critical role this diversity plays in understanding the physiological capacity of reef corals in response to environmental change.”
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, background): “A number of studies have shown that clade D symbionts are amongst the most thermo-tolerant types know to date, whereas clade C types are often relatively thermo-sensitive (Rowan 2004; Tchernov et al. 2004; Berkelmans and van Oppen 2006; Ulstrup et al. 2006).”
Photoinhibition of photosystem II under environmental stress. (2007, background): “Moreover, moderate heat stress accelerates the production of H 2 O 2 [63,64], inhibiting protein synthesis and the repair of PSII, as in the case of the CO 2 limitation-induced inhibition of the repair of PSII [53,54].”
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): “…symbionts are more resistant to thermal stress q 2006 The Royal Society than the same species with clade C symbionts (Glynn et al. 2001; Rowan 2004; Tchernov et al. 2004) and that some coral reefs which have been subject to repeated bleaching episodes harbour a greater proportion of D-type…”
Novel algal symbiont (Symbiodinium spp.) diversity in reef corals of Western Australia (2011, background): “…for generalizations regarding the ecological and physiological attributes of Symbiodinium (Iglesias-Prieto & Trench 1997a,b, Savage et al. 2002, LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004b, Iglesias-Prieto et al. 2004, Tchernov et al. 2004, Warner et al. 2006, Sampayo et al. 2007, 2008, Thornhill et al. 2008).”
Consensus thermotolerance ranking for 110 Symbiodinium phylotypes: an exemplar utilization of a novel iterative partial‐rank aggregation tool with broad application potential (2017, background): “Reports that exclusively used clade-level designations (or are associated with non-scleractinian hosts) were excluded, as clades contain phylotypes with diverse physiological capabilities (e.g. Tchernov et al. 2004).”
Photobiology of Symbiodinium revisited: bio-physical and bio-optical signatures (2009, methodology): “PSII fluorescence As with previous investigations that have grown Symbiodinium isolates under nutrient replete conditions, measurements of Fv/Fm in this study varied widely between types (Tchernov et al. 2004; Robison and Warner 2006).”
Temperature‐induced stress leads to bleaching in larger benthic foraminifera hosting endosymbiotic diatoms (2011, background): “It has been suggested that in cnidarians reactive oxygen species oxidize membrane lipids of symbiotic algae, leading to death of the latter and their expulsion (Tchernov et al. 2004).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “…composition of symbiont thylakoid membranes affects their structural integrity at high temperatures, resulting in damage to Photosystem II when this integrity is compromised (Tchernov et al., 2004), and that increased nitric acid synthase also accompanies bleaching (Trapido-Rosenthal et al., 2005).”
Predominance of clade D Symbiodinium in shallow-water reef-building corals off Kish and Larak Islands (Persian Gulf, Iran) (2007, background): “Diverse Symbiodinium types will probably have diVering physiology (Little et al. 2004; Tchernov et al. 2004), and this may play an important role in survival of corals (Baker 2003).”
