Oxygen supersaturation has been reported to protect aquatic animals from heat waves. We tested this in a large collaborative experiment on many species of fish and crustaceans. Our new paper in @plosbiology.org shows that the effect of hyperoxia on thermal tolerance is negligible. Unfortunately.

Heat-driven functional extinction of Caribbean Acropora corals from Florida’s Coral Reef In 2023, a record-setting marine heat wave triggered the ninth mass coral bleaching event on Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR). We examined spatial patterns of heat exposure along the ~560-kilometer length o...

Results I'm sad to share but must be told - branching coral are now functionally extinct in Florida - to learn more check out the full study www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... and our personal summary theconversation.com/2-iconic-cor...

Immune gene expression as a biomarker for predicting restoration success in the branching coral Acropora cervicornis BackgroundAs coral reefs continue to decline across the globe there has been a rise in coral restoration efforts where a diversity of genets of different coral species are outplanted from nursery-grow...

πŸ§ͺ🌏 Why some coral genotypes die when planted to a reef, while others thrive? interesting leads from *constitutively expressed* immunity-related genes @drcarl.bsky.social www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...

New preprint by Ruiwen Hu @microbialcookie.bsky.social! We show that carbon oxidation state shapes carbon degradation in rice paddy sediments. Negative NOSC = slower degradation, more methane, and more syntrophs & methanogens but fewer fermenters. Genomes reflect thermodynamic preferences.

Resolving Symbiodiniaceae Diversity Across Coral Microhabitats and Reef Niches We characterised the Symbiodiniaceae ITS2-based diversity across a tropical coral reef to quantify the connectivity between seawater, turf algae, sediment, coral tissue and coral mucus communities. A...

Our new work in Environmental Microbiology on Symbiodiniaceae diversity between reef habitats and across the coral holobiont. Sediment, seawater, and turf algae-associated communities were distinct while the coral mucus and tissue showed nearly identical ITS2 type profiles.
