Energy reserves and metabolism as indicators of coral recovery from bleaching (2007, background): “Research on the underlying mechanisms driving variability has focused on zooxanthellar temperature constraints (e.g., Smith et al. 2005) and genetic variation (e.g., Baker 2001) to explain bleaching susceptibility.”
High genetic differentiation and cross-shelf patterns of genetic diversity among Great Barrier Reef populations of Symbiodinium (2009, background): “…1972) and are primarily maintained by asexual propagation of vegetative cells (e.g. Wilkerson et al. 1988), although symbiont genotypes may be potentially lost to and/or gained from the external environment, particularly during times of holobiont stress (e.g. Baker 2001; Lewis and CoVroth 2004).”
Variation in bleaching sensitivity of two coral species across a latitudinal gradient on the Great Barrier Reef: the role of zooxanthellae (2006, background): “…without written consent of the publisher Mar Ecol Prog Ser 314: 135–148, 2006 It has been shown that the physiological responses of some corals are significantly affected by the type of zooxanthellae harboured (Rowan et al. 1997, Baker 2001, Glynn et al. 2001, Little et al. 2004, Rowan 2004).”
Response of two species of Indo-Pacific corals, Porites cylindrica and Stylophora pistillata, to short-term thermal stress: The host does matter in determining the tolerance of corals to bleaching (2009, background): “If the host plays a role, then the hypothesis that corals simply shuffle or swap their Symbiodinium for clades that are more thermally tolerant (e.g., Buddemeier and Fautin, 1993; Baker, 2001) does not tell the whole story.”
Chronic parrotfish grazing impedes coral recovery after bleaching (2006, background): “Environmental change has been previously shown to cause changes in Symbiodinium spp. communities (Rowan et al. 1997; Baker 2001; Lewis and Coffroth 2004).”
Cellular mechanisms of Cnidarian bleaching: stress causes the collapse of symbiosis (2008, unknown): “Baker, A. C. (2001).”
Genetic composition of zooxanthellae between and within colonies of the octocoral Plexaura kuna, based on small subunit rDNA and multilocus DNA fingerprinting (2003, background): “Recent research suggests that the symbiosis within a single host may be dynamic, changing in response to environmental conditions (Rowan et al. 1997; Baker 2001).”
Experimental responses to elevated water temperature in genotypes of the reef coral Pocillopora damicornis from upwelling and non-upwelling environments in Panama (2004, background): “The intraspecific patterns of photic zonation among colonies at different depths (Rowan and Knowlton 1995; Baker 2001), and between sunlit and shaded environments (Rowan et al.”
Flexibility and Specificity in Coral-Algal Symbiosis: Diversity, Ecology, and Biogeography of Symbiodinium (2003, unknown): “The 13 Nov 2003 23:7 AR AR200-ES34-24.tex AR200-ES34-24.sgm LaTeX2e(2002/01/18)P1: GJB 666 BAKER recommendation made here follows the practice of Baker (1999, 2001, 2003), Glynn et al.

Fluctuating algal symbiont communities in Acropora palifera (Scleractinia: Acroporidae) from Taiwan (2005, background): “…within coral hosts, but also diverse ecological factors driving the ecological zonation of different phylotypes among coral colonies and even over the surface of individual coral colonies (Rowan & Knowlton 1995, Rowan et al. 1997, Baker 2001, Toller et al. 2001a,b, Chen et al. 2003, 2004).”
Adaptive bleaching: a general phenomenon (2004, background): “, 2002; Baker, 2003), only some newly-acquired zooxanthella types may survive, and, among them, fewer may persist or dominate the ultimate holobiont. Symbiont specificity through time on the scale of 10 years was convincingly shown in the field by Goulet & Coffroth (2003a, b) for the octocoral Plexa”
Distinct ITS types of Symbiodinium in clade C correlate with cnidarian/dinoflagellate specificity during onset of symbiosis (2004, background): “Finally, the expression of specificity between host corals and their horizontally acquired endosymbionts raises doubt about the adaptive bleaching hypothesis (Buddemeier & Fautin 1993, Baker 2001), which is based on the premise of a flexible host/symbiont specificity.”
Response of Coral Assemblages to the Interaction between Natural Temperature Variation and Rare Warm-Water Events (2003, background): “…(Coles and others 1976; Marcus and Thorhaug 1981; Gleason and Wellington 1993; Hoegh-Guldberg and Salvat 1995; Brown 1997; Coles 1997; Rowan and others 1997; Berkelmans and Willis 1999; Baker 2001; D’Croz and Received 8 January 2002; accepted 21 October 2002; published online 9 September 2003.”
Ecological and Evolutionary Responses to Recent Climate Change (2006, background): “F or p er so na l u se o nl y. negative impacts of future climate change (Baker 2001, Baker et al. 2004, Davis & Shaw 2001, Rowan 2004).”
The role of microorganisms in coral health, disease and evolution (2007, background): “A single species of coral can host multiple types of Symbiodinium”
Highly stable symbioses among western Atlantic brooding corals (2006, background): “Transplanting colonies between two such drastically diVerent environmental regimes of light and temperature also elicited a symbiotic change in several other coral species, including both brooding and broadcast spawning corals (Baker 2001).”
