TL;DR: In this chapter, ecological and physiological aspects of the interactions between corals and their symbiotic algae are reviewed in light of recent advances in knowledge of the diversity of these symbionts and cost-benefit analysis is suggested.

TL;DR: Algal populations in unfed anemones gradually decreased, indicating that zooxanthellae were lost faster than they were replaced by division, and whether algae are nutrient-limited in hosts under field conditions has not been examined fully.

TL;DR: The authors found that high-latitude reef corals are sensitive to elevated temperatures which are within the normal thermal range of corals at lower latitudes, and that corals which normally experience wide temperature ranges are less sensitive to thermal stress.

TL;DR: This study confirms and extends the findings of Nishizuka and colleagues on ovary disease and gastritis in thymectomized mice and detects typical immune complex-like deposits of mouse IgG along the basement membrane of epididymal ducts and seminiferous tubules.

TL;DR: The oxygen fluxes of two laboratory populations of the symbiotic sea anemone Aiptasia pallida, originally collected from Bermuda and Florida, are compared to demonstrate that the physiology of the intact symbiosis is dictated by both partners and that studies of the restored symbiosis may not fully reveal the thermal liability of the algae.
