Heterotrophy has been shown to mitigate coral-algal dysbiosis (coral bleaching) under heat challenge, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain largely unexplored. Here, we quantified coral physiology and gene expression of fragments from 13 genotypes symbiotic Oculina arbuscula after a 28-d feeding experiment (1) fed, ambient (24 °C); (2) unfed, ambient; (3) heated (ramp 33 (4) treatments. We monitored algal photosynthetic efficiency throughout experiment, 28 d,...
Abstract The symbiosis between corals and dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae is sensitive to environmental stress. oxidative bleaching hypothesis posits that extreme temperatures lead accumulation photobiont-derived reactive oxygen species ROS, which exacerbates coral stress response (ESR). To understand how photosymbiosis modulates ESRs, these responses must be explored in hosts out symbiosis. We leveraged facultatively symbiotic Astrangia poculata , offers an opportunity...

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...
