  • Drivers of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community composition in roots : hosts, neighbors, and environment

    Creator:
    Phillips, Wendy S.
    Abstract:
    The vast majority of terrestrial plant species live in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). AMF and plants live in complex networks, with roots of individual plants hosting multiple AMF, and single AMF colonizing multiple plants concurrently. Through the exchange of resources, the two partners of this symbiosis can have...

  • Cellular and molecular aspects of cnidarian-algal associations

    Creator:
    Schwarz, Jodi A.
    Abstract:
    Intracellular symbioses between cnidarians and dinoflagellates from the genus Symbiodinium are widespread throughout the marine environment. These associations are ecologically significant, especially in tropical waters where symbiotic interactions between corals and Symbiodinium culminate in the formation of limestone reefs. This thesis focuses on cellular and molecular aspects of the symbiosis,...

  • Temperature stress, gene expression, and innate immunity at the onset of cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

    Creator:
    Schnitzler, Christine E.
    Abstract:
    The intracellular mutualism between cnidarians and photosynthetic dinoflagellates (genus Symbiodinium) is responsible for the physical and trophic structure of diverse coral reef ecosystems. This relationship, based on nutrient exchange, allows for high productivity in tropical waters, which are generally nutrient-poor environments. Numerous environmental stressors currently threaten the health of corals,...

  • Onset of symbiosis in a cnidarian-dinoflagellate association

    Creator:
    deBoer, Melissa L.
    Abstract:
    Scleractinian corals, like many other cnidarians, engage in intracellular symbiosis with dinoflagellates belonging to the genus Symbiodinium. This association makes invaluable structural and energetic contributions to the marine environment and to the coral reef ecosystem in particular. While many aspects of the cnidarian-dinoflagellate relationship have been well studied, nothing is...
