A quantitative review of the lifestyle, habitat and trophic diversity of dinoflagellates (Dinoflagellata, Alveolata) (2012, background): “Most of the dinoflagellates were free-living species (92% of 2377). In contrast, the closest relatives to the dinoflagellates, apicomplexans and perkinsids, and nearly all the basal dinoflagellates are parasites (Zhang et al., 2011). Cachon & Cachon (1987) listed 66 parasitic dinoflagellates, and Dr”
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): “Symbiodinium D1-4 (formerly D1a; LaJeunesse, 2002), designated Symbiodinium trenchi hereafter (LaJeunesse et al., 2005), was also associated with coral species with open systems of symbiont acquisition and was especially common among colonies from the Andaman Sea.”
Breakdown of the coral-algae symbiosis: towards formalising a linkage between warm-water bleaching thresholds and the growth rate of the intracellular zooxanthellae (2012, unknown): “2), with the size of the cell directly correlating to genome size (= DNA content) (LaJeunesse et al., 2005).”
Ecologically differentiated stress-tolerant endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium (Dinophyceae) Clade D are different species (2014, background): “This D type is provisionally referred to as Symbiodinium ‘trenchi’, but lacks a formal species description (i.e. nomen nudum; see LaJeunesse et al. 2005, 2009, 2010a; Wham et al. 2011).”
On the path to reference genomes for all biodiversity: lessons learned and laboratory protocols created in the Sanger Tree of Life core laboratory over the first 2000 species (2025, unknown): “This taxonomic group poses a unique challenge due to the diversity of the species it contains, from microalgae to dinoflagellates, the nature of cell walls and exoskeletons, and the relative size of both individuals and genomes [34].”
Systematic Revision of Symbiodiniaceae Highlights the Antiquity and Diversity of Coral Endosymbionts. (2018, background): “Being among the smallest of dinoflagellates [48], the group’s predominant niche as endosymbionts appears to have constrained the evolution of significant morphological variation within the group and perhaps restricted the size of most species to <11 mm (Figures 2A and 2B) [48].”
