The endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium sp.) of corals are parasites and mutualists by Lesser, M., Stat, Michael, Gates, R.

“…One explanation for these observations is that symbioses between corals and Symbiodinium represent a continuum of interaction states that encompass mutualisms and parasitisms consistent with current evolutionary theory developed for other symbiotic systems. …”

The fitness burden imposed by synthesising quorum sensing signals by Ruparell, Avika, Dubern, Jean-Frédéric, Ortori, Catharine A., Harrison, F., Halliday, N.M., Emtage, A., Ashawesh, M.M., Laughton, Charles A., Diggle, Stephen P., Williams, P., Barrett, David A., Hardie, Kim R.

“…It is now well established that bacterial populations utilize cell-to-cell signaling (quorum-sensing, QS) to control the production of public goods and other co-operative behaviours. Evolutionary theory predicts that both the cost of signal production and the response to signals should incur fitness costs for producing cells. …”
