Mutualistic symbioses between cnidarians and photosynthetic algae are modulated by complex interactions host immunity environmental conditions. Here, we investigate how symbiosis interacts with food limitation to influence gene expression stress response programming in the sea anemone Exaiptasia pallida (Aiptasia). Transcriptomic responses starvation were similar symbiotic aposymbiotic Aiptasia; however, stronger. Starved Aiptasia of both states exhibited increased protein levels...
Tropical corals construct the three-dimensional framework for one of most diverse ecosystems on planet, providing habitat to a plethora species across taxa. However, these ecosystem engineers are facing unprecedented challenges, such as increasing disease prevalence and marine heatwaves associated with anthropogenic global change. As result, major declines in coral cover health being observed world's oceans, often due breakdown coral-associated symbioses. Here, we review interactions between...
The resilience of coral reefs in oligotrophic, (sub)tropical oceans is largely due to the symbiotic relationship between scleractinian corals and Symbiodiniaceae algae, which enables efficient internal nutrient recycling. Investigating history this symbiosis can provide insights into its role sustaining health both present future reefs. isotopic composition organic nitrogen ( 15 N/ 14 N or δ N) bound within skeletons has been utilized trace existence fossil corals, suggesting that dates back...
