The distribution of the thermally tolerant symbiont lineage (Symbiodinium clade D) in corals from Hawaii: Correlations with host and the history of ocean thermal stress

Spatially intimate symbioses, such as those between scleractinian corals and unicellular algae belonging to the genus Symbiodinium, can potentially adapt to changes in the environment by altering the taxonomic composition of their endosymbiont communities. We quantified the spatial relationship betw...
