The larva-Symbiodiniaceae association at risk: putative impacts of climate change on reproduction, dispersal, and recruitment in coral reefs - Ocean Acidification

The relationship between invertebrates and Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates is the ecological foundation of diverse and productive coral reef ecosystems. Climate change-induced breakdown of this partnership, i.e., bleaching, is repeatedly driving widespread reef degradation. Thus, the future trajectory of this ecosystem depends on the reproduction and dispersal capacity of invertebrate-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis. This review examines how climate c…
