• Influence of the Amazon River plume on distributions of free‐living and symbiotic cyanobacteria in the western tropical north Atlantic Ocean (2007, background): “Another important factor in the distribution of symbioses is symbiont availability (Van Oppen et al. 2001).”
• Specificity in communities of Symbiodinium in corals from Johnston Atoll (2009, background): “Furthermore, in Symbiodinium, ITS2 sequence divergence within a genome has been found to be greater than that between sequences labeled as ecologically distinct types (van Oppen et al. 2001, Thornhill et al. 2007).”
• Geographic distribution of zooxanthella types in three coral species on the Great Barrier Reef sampled after the 2002 bleaching event (2005, background): “Clade C was the most common symbiont in this species (89.7% of colonies; C1 and C2 sensu van Oppen et al. (2001), with C2 being the dominant zooxanthella type as was also found for A. tenuis).”
• Variation in bleaching sensitivity of two coral species across a latitudinal gradient on the Great Barrier Reef: the role of zooxanthellae (2006, methodology): “For example, the distribution of symbionts has shown clear patterns of photic zonation resulting in the partitioning of genetically distinct zooxanthellae between irradiance habitats in Montastraea anularis (Rowan et al. 1997) and Acropora spp. (van Oppen et al. 2001, Ulstrup & van Oppen 2003).”
• One-year survey of a single Micronesian reef reveals extraordinarily rich diversity of Symbiodinium types in soritid foraminifera (2007, background): “This intraspeciWc diversity can involve symbionts belonging to diVerent Symbiodinium clades (Rowan and Knowlton 1995; LaJeunesse and Trench 2000) or diVerent types of symbionts belonging to the same clade (van Oppen et al. 2001; Diekmann et al. 2003; CoVroth and Santos 2005).”
• Highly stable symbioses among western Atlantic brooding corals (2006, background): “Phylogenetic studies based on the nuclear ribosomal RNA genes (e.g., Rowan and Powers 1991; LaJeunesse 2001; van Oppen et al. 2001) and chloroplast large subunit (cp23S)-rDNA genes (Santos et al. 2002) reveal that Symbiodinium consists of eight major sub-generic clades (A–”
• Multi-year, seasonal genotypic surveys of coral-algal symbioses reveal prevalent stability or post-bleaching reversion (2006, background): “…D types is required, their occurrence in hosts recovering from bleaching and/ or in colonies from high temperature or high turbidity habitats (Toller et al. 2001a, 2001b; van Oppen et al. 2001; Chen et al. 2003; Baker 2004) suggests that some are opportunistic, stress-tolerant, host-generalists.”
• The ecological distribution and comparative photobiology of symbiotic dinoflagellates from reef corals in Belize: Potential implications for coral bleaching (2006, background): “Further, for corals that have the capacity to harbor multiple symbiont types, algal distribution can be strongly influenced by light or temperature within some Caribbean and Pacific reefbuilding corals and, in some instances, can explain patterns of differential algal loss across a coral colony (Row”
• Symbiont diversity in scleractinian corals from tropical reefs and subtropical non-reef communities in Taiwan (2005, background): “…in Symbiodinium clade C, has been demonstrated to be high by other rapidly evolving markers, such as ITS (Hunter et al. 1997; LaJeunesse 2001; van Oppen et al. 2001) and clsrDNA (Santos et al. 2002), suggesting that ITS and clsrDNA are suitable markers to further resolve the genetic diversity of…”
• Juvenile corals can acquire more carbon from high-performance algal symbionts (2009, methodology): “…were confirmed following infection prior to field deployment by single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP, following methods described in van Oppen et al. 2001) of the ITS1 regions and potential presence of unexpected background strains was tested using quantitative PCR at the end of the…”
• Genetic composition of zooxanthellae between and within colonies of the octocoral Plexaura kuna, based on small subunit rDNA and multilocus DNA fingerprinting (2003, methodology): “…hosts studied thus far (84%), however, host a single zooxanthella clade (Rowan and Powers 1991a,b, 1992; Baker and Rowan 1997; Baker et al. 1997; Billinghurst et al. 1997; Bythell et al. 1997; Wilcox 1997; Darius et al. 1998; Baker 1999; Goulet 1999; van Oppen et al. 2001; Diekmann et al. 2002).”
• RECOGNIZING DINOFLAGELLATE SPECIES USING ITS rDNA SEQUENCES 1 (2007, background): “There is evidence that this isolation gives rise to new species with ITS genetic divergences <0.04 (van Oppen et al. 2001, LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004).”
• Many corals host thermally resistant symbionts in high-temperature habitat (2011, methodology): “…southern, and central Great Barrier Reef (LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004), patchily distributed on the warmer, northern Great Barrier Reef (van Oppen et al. 2001), common in the northeast Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf, but uncommon in the Red Sea and Mauritius (Baker et al. 2004; LaJeunesse…”
• Stability of coral–endosymbiont associations during and after a thermal stress event in the southern Great Barrier Reef (2009, background): “Thornhill et al. 2006b) and Acropora in the Great Barrier Reef (Berkelmans and van Oppen 2006; Jones et al. 2008) are known to harbor both clades C and D, and symbiont shuffling might be detected as changes in their relative abundance ( Toller et al. 2001b; van Oppen et al. 2001).”
