About Todd C. LaJeunesse

Todd C. LaJeunesse, With an exceptional h-index of 61 and a recent h-index of 42 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Penn State University, specializes in the field of symbiosis, dinoflagellates, coral bleaching, speciation, adaptive radiation.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Host–symbiont plasticity in the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea xamachana: strobilation across symbiont genera

Formal recognition of host‐generalist species of dinoflagellate (Cladocopium, Symbiodiniaceae) mutualistic with Indo‐Pacific reef corals

High physiological function for corals with thermally tolerant, host-adapted symbionts

Building consensus around the assessment and interpretation of Symbiodiniaceae diversity

Similarities in biomass and energy reserves among coral colonies from contrasting reef environments

Acclimatization of a coral-dinoflagellate mutualism at a CO2 vent

Thermotolerant coral–algal mutualisms maintain high rates of nutrient transfer while exposed to heat stress

Mutualistic dinoflagellates with big disparities in ribosomal DNA variation may confound estimates of symbiont diversity and ecology in the jellyfish Cotylorhiza tuberculata
