Host-specific interactions with environmental factors shape the distribution of symbiodinium across the Great Barrier Reef.

Host-specific interactions with environmental factors shape the distribution of symbiodinium across the Great Barrier Reef.

The endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (genus Symbiodinium) within coral reef invertebrates are critical to the survival of the holobiont. The genetic variability of Symbiodinium may contribute to the tolerance of the symbiotic association to elevated sea surface temperatures (SST). To assess the importa...
