New on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social ! 🔬 Our study on Ningaloo Reef shows selective breeding can boost heat tolerance, even over small distances! A promising tool, BUT we must address climate change emissions & boost ocean protection biorxiv.org/content/10.1... @minderoo.bsky.social

Exploring how corals connect with their environment! 🪸🌊 Our new preprint investigates the (surprisingly large!) role of diel time, genotype, and fine-scale reef variation in shaping metagenomic communities in and around corals during annual spawning: tinyurl.com/2u3jvwja @heatshok.bsky.social

The microbial fingerprint: fine-scale environmental, genetic, and temporal factors drive the reef metagenome during coral spawning

Understanding the stability of microbial community assembly on coral reefs is crucial for determining their response to changing environments. Here, we evaluate how the marine sediment, water column, ...

Very excited to have our first #singlecell data paper out in the world. Dr. Valadez Ingersoll worked so hard on this piece and we learned so much about #coral #symbiosis! Cell type-specific immune regulation under symbiosis in a facultatively symbiotic coral url: academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...

Cell type-specific immune regulation under symbiosis in a facultatively symbiotic coral

Abstract. Many cnidarians host single-celled algae within gastrodermal cells, yielding a mutually beneficial exchange of nutrients between host and symbion
