    Symbiont community dynamics in the turbid reef specialist, Turbinaria reniformis, along a latitudinal and environmental gradient in Western Australia

    Thermal stress triggers the breakdown of the obligate symbiosis between the cnidarian coral host and its autotrophic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae. This diverse family exhibits pronounced funct...
