The study examines how thermal pre-treatment of algal symbionts affects coral development and symbiont colonization, finding species-specific impacts on host cell proliferation.

This study examines the flexibility of symbiont communities in Exaiptasia diaphana across a latitudinal gradient, finding that symbiont associations are environmentally determined and not strictly genetically controlled.

The paper examines the role of symbiotic algae and heterotrophic feeding in the development of asexual offspring in Aiptasia, showing that symbionts enhance growth under feeding but hinder development under starvation.

This study shows that Aiptasia oral regeneration is faster in symbiotic anemones, suggesting symbiont-derived photosynthates support regeneration.
