Coral bleaching events, in which symbionts are lost from host tissues, have become more frequent and severe because of climate change—specifically, elevated temperatures. How such events impact biogen...

Our recent paper characterizes the importance of different regulatory mechanisms cnidarian hosts use to control their symbiont population: doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
Handactis nutrix is a species of intertidal sea anemone that lives on brown algae. We are currently growing the anemones with and without their seaweed host to observe the effects of this symbiosis. Preliminary results demonstrated nutrient transport from the anemone to the host.
