This study examines how heat stress affects the development and photosymbiosis of Cassiopea jellyfish, finding reduced chlorophyll in algae, delayed metamorphosis, and abnormal ephyra morphology.

This study identifies symbiont-derived carotenoids and conserved genes as drivers of metamorphosis in Cassiopea xamachana, highlighting the role of microbial signals in developmental gene regulation.

This study presents the Ostreobium nuclear genome and metatranscriptomic analysis to understand its adaptations to the coral skeleton environment and its role in coral holobiont dynamics.
