Phosphate deficiency promotes coral bleaching and is reflected by the ultrastructure of symbiotic dinoflagellates
Enrichment of reef environments with dissolved inorganic nutrients is considered a major threat to the survival of corals living in symbiosis with dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium sp.). We argue, however, that the direct negative effects on the symbiosis are not necessarily caused by the nutrient enrichment itself but by the phosphorus starvation of the algal symbionts that can be caused by skewed...
متن کاملA Trait-Based Model for Describing the Adaptive Dynamics of Coral-Algae Symbiosis
The survival of many ecological communities relies on the symbiotic relationships formed by various organisms. An example of a symbiotic association that is often described as mutualistic is the one between corals and algae. Since the algae are located within coral epidermis, they are referred to as “endosymbiont” (more generally “symbiont”) whereas the corals are referred to as “host.” This as...
متن کاملRatio of Energy and Nutrient Fluxes Regulates Symbiosis between Zooxanthellae and Corals
Ambient irradiance levels determine the rate of carbon influx into zooxanthellae at any given time, and thereby the energy available for the whole coral symbiotic association. Long-term photoacclimation of zooxanthellae to the time-averaged light regime at which the host coral grows results in optimization of light harvesting and utilization. Under high irradiance light harvesting is reduced, t...
متن کاملRelationship between light and the S15N of coral tissue: Examples from Jamaica and Zanzibar
Nitrogen isotope values from coral tissue collected over depth-light gradients are reported from Jamaica and Zanzibar. The Jamaica suite consists of multiple specimens of three coral species (Montustrea annularis, Porites astreoides, and Agaricia agaricites) sampled at increasing depths. For each species, combined tissue/zooxanthellae 615N decreases significantly with decreasing availability of...
متن کاملIn the other 90%: phytoplankton responses to enhanced nutrient availability in the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon.
Our view of how water quality effects ecosystems of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is largely framed by observed or expected responses of large benthic organisms (corals, algae, seagrasses) to enhanced levels of dissolved nutrients, sediments and other pollutants in reef waters. In the case of nutrients, however, benthic organisms and communities are largely responding to materials which have cyc...
