Abstract
Diel rhythms align physiological processes with light/dark cycles, driving predictable oscillations in organismal activity. Here we examine diel transcriptional rhythms in coral-associated microeukaryotes, focusing on corallicolid apicomplexans. We identify extensive diel oscillations in gene expression in corallicolids and their coral hosts, providing insights into the temporal coordination of host-symbiont interactions in reef ecosystems.
