  • The role of innate immunity in cnidarian-dinoflagellate symbiosis

    Creator:
    Poole, Angela Z.
    Abstract:
    Cnidarians, such as corals and sea anemones serve as hosts to a variety of organisms including symbiotic dinoflagellates, bacteria, virus, and apicomplexans. As corals are vital to the health and productivity of the reef ecosystem it is important to understand how these organisms interact with each component of the holobiont....

  • 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,...
