Dear Coral-List:
Can anyone please comment on the first person/paper(s) to coin and/or
use the term "coral holobiont", referring to the coral animal,
symbiotic zooxanthellae, and/or associated micro-organisms, bacteria,
etc.? I have used the term in my MS thesis manuscript and would like
to cite the appropriate reference. I have seen this term used when
referring strictly to coral-algal symbioses as well. I have several
papers from Knowlton and/or Rohwer et al. but was wondering if there
are any earlier "seminal" papers? Many thanks.
