Ecologically differentiated stress-tolerant endosymbionts in the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium (Dinophyceae) Clade D are different species (2014, background): “It associates with a wide diversity of mostly scleractinian taxa and is common in coral communities from warm equatorial, turbid environments and rarely occurs at northern and southern latitudes higher than the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, respectively (Figs S1–S5; LaJeunesse et al. 2004a, 2010a”
Acclimation and adaptation of scleractinian coral communities along environmental gradients within an Indonesian reef system (2010, background): “Selection for the symbiont is well documented along environmental gradients (LaJeunesse et al., 2004), as are responses to transient stress events (Kinzie et al.”
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, methodology): “Prevalence and diversity of Clade D Symbiodinium in the Indian Ocean Clade D Symbiodinium were significantly more frequent among hosts collected from warm and turbid sites of the north-eastern Indian Ocean in comparison with the western Indian Ocean or the central GBR (Fig.”
Patterns of Symbiodinium distribution in three giant clam species across the biodiverse Bird’s Head region of Indonesia (2012, background): “The second most common symbiont (A6) has been recorded in Tridacna from the Philippines (Baillie et al. 2000b) and Japan (LaJeunesse et al. 2004).”
Many corals host thermally resistant symbionts in high-temperature habitat (2011, background): “…clade D is common among turbid rock islands in Palau (Fabricius et al. 2004), uncommon on the cooler, 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…”
Relationship between symbiont density and photosynthetic carbon acquisition in the temperate coral Cladocora caespitosa (2010, background): “However, M. monasteriata, A. intermedia, and S. hystrix are all associated predominantly with clade C symbionts (Loh et al. 2001; LaJeunesse et al. 2004), A. danae with clade B (Rowan and Powers 1991) and C. caespitosa with clade ‘A temperate’ (Visram et al. 2006).”
Highly stable symbioses among western Atlantic brooding corals (2006, background): “Across a wide biogeographic gradient, LaJeunesse et al. (2004) found environment and latitude determined symbiont associations in broadcast spawning corals whereas Communicated by Biology Editor M. van Oppen.”
Photobiology of Symbiodinium revisited: bio-physical and bio-optical signatures (2009, background): “This is particularly important when studying photobiology of corals under different environmental conditions, such as light environment, as the algal community may not be constant (LaJeunesse and Trench 2000; LaJeunesse et al. 2004b; van Oppen et al. 2005; Warner et al. 2006).”
Understanding diversity in coral-algal symbiosis: a cluster-based approach to interpreting fine-scale genetic variation in the genus Symbiodinium (2009, background): “As studies investigating the ecology and biogeography of Symbiodinium using ITS-2 have developed over the last *7 years (e.g., LaJeunesse 2002; LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004a, b, 2008b), they have emphasized differences in the distribution of closely related sequence variants, or ‘‘species’’…”
Coral thermal tolerance shaped by local adaptation of photosymbionts (2012, background): “, yet many coral species exhibit fidelity for particular types of Symbiodinium across broad environmental gradients, including temperatur”
Phenotypic plasticity for skeletal growth, density and calcification of Porites lobata in response to habitat type (2007, neutral): “The spatial (LaJeunesse et al. 2004) and temporal (Baker et al. 2004) variability of zooxanthella type, and dependence of coral skeletal growth rates on zooxanthella type (Little et al. 2004), pose potential confounding factors for coral RTEs.”
One-year survey of a single Micronesian reef reveals extraordinarily rich diversity of Symbiodinium types in soritid foraminifera (2007, background): “…by several surveys of Symbiodinium ITS-2 diversity within entire reef invertebrate communities, comprising diverse species of hard corals, soft corals, gorgonians, anemones, zoanthids, corallimorphs, tridacnid clams and nudibranchs (LaJeunesse 2002, 2005; LaJeunesse et al. 2003, 2004a, b).”
