Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “but debate exists over whether this is a general rule (Goulet, 2006, 2007; Baird et al., 2007; Baker and Romanski, 2007).”
Cell Biology of Cnidarian-Dinoflagellate Symbiosis (2012, background): “Other reviews are devoted to the topic of specificity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate associations and include coverage of studies that describe successional ecological competition for the host intracellular niche that occurs downstream of the initial recognition events (16, 17).”
Major bleaching events can lead to increased thermal tolerance in corals (2008, background): “Shifts in the relative proportion of thermally tolerant symbionts could also be a potential mechanism to explain the observed increase in tolerance ( Baird et al. 2007; Baker 2003; Brown 1997; review in Coles and Brown 2003).”
Many corals host thermally resistant symbionts in high-temperature habitat (2011, background): “While much of the discussion around heat-resistant genotypes of Symbiodinium has focused on the distinctions between genetic clades (e.g., Rowan 2004; Baker et al. 2004), temperature-resistant phenotypes are likely determined at a genotypic scale finer than clade (Tchernov et al. 2004; Baird et al.”
