Journal ArticleDOI

Eiichi Shoguchi,Chuya Shinzato,Takeshi Kawashima,Fuki Gyoja,Sutada Mungpakdee,Ryo Koyanagi,Takeshi Takeuchi,Kanako Hisata,Makiko Tanaka,Mayuki Fujiwara,Mayuko Hamada,Azadeh Seidi,Manabu Fujie,Takeshi Usami,Hiroki Goto,Shinichi Yamasaki,Nana Arakaki,Yutaka Suzuki,Sumio Sugano,Atsushi Toyoda,Yoko Kuroki,Asao Fujiyama,Asao Fujiyama,Mónica Medina,Mary Alice Coffroth,Debashish Bhattacharya,Nori Satoh +26 more
TL;DR: The first draft assembly of a dinoflagellate nuclear genome is described, providing insights into its genome organization and gene inventory and laying the foundation for future studies of this remarkable group of eukaryotes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential gene expression during thermal stress and bleaching in the Caribbean coral Montastraea faveolata.
Michael K. DeSalvo,Christian R. Voolstra,Shinichi Sunagawa,Jodi A. Schwarz,Jonathon H. Stillman,Mary Alice Coffroth,Alina M. Szmant,Mónica Medina +7 more
TL;DR: It is postulate that oxidative stress in thermal‐stressed corals causes a disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis, which in turn leads to cytoskeletal and cell adhesion changes, decreased calcification, and the initiation of cell death via apoptosis and necrosis, the cellular foundation of thermal stress‐induced coral bleaching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic diversity of symbiotic dinoflagellates in the genus Symbiodinium.
TL;DR: The basis of the symbiosis is nutritional, with the dinoflagellates playing a significant role in host nourishment and physiology, and photosynthetically fixed carbon can be translocated from the algae at a rate and volume capable of meeting the hosts’ respiratory demands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Connectivity and resilience of coral reef metapopulations in marine protected areas: matching empirical efforts to predictive needs.
L. W. Botsford,J. W. White,Mary Alice Coffroth,Claire B. Paris,Serge Planes,T. L. Shearer,Simon R. Thorrold,Geoffrey P. Jones +7 more
TL;DR: To make rapid progress in understanding the scales and patterns of connectivity, greater communication between empiricists and population modelers will be need to track and assimilate evolving empirical results.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular phylogeny of symbiotic dinoflagellates inferred from partial chloroplast large subunit (23S)-rDNA sequences.
Scott R. Santos,Derek J. Taylor,Robert A. Kinzie,Michio Hidaka,Kazuhiko Sakai,Mary Alice Coffroth +5 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of sequence dissimilarity indicated that cp23S-rDNA Domain V evolves 9-30 times faster than the V1-V4 regions of nuclear small sub unit (n18S)-rDNA, 1-7 times as fast as the D1-D3 regions ofnuclear large subunit (n28S)- rDNA, and 0.27-2.25 times that of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS)-r DNA region.
