🚨New pre-print out today! Using an evolutionary approach we found evidence for microbially-mediated growth-defense tradeoffs in corals. The kicker? This tradeoff is almost entirely driven by our good friend Endozoicomonas 🤯 Check it out on biorxiv here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out Villanova University Fiona Kelley's Fiona Kelley #research that unravels the dynamics of herbivorous #fishes, turf #algae, and #sediments on Caribbean reefs, 6-8PM tonight at #BEM2023! #benthicmonitoring #coralreefs #researchstudentsuperstar

Fiona Kelley (GEV '23) presented at the 51st Annual Benthic Ecology Meeting in Miami, FL over the weekend. Her research, with Dr. Tory Chase, focused on #coralreef dynamics. Great job, Fiona!

A massive bloom of seaweed in the Atlantic is raising risks for Caribbean, Gulf, and Florida beaches. The seaweed can cut off access to beaches, hamper the use of coastal waters, disrupt coastal ecosystems, and make a huge, stinking mess as it decomposes. climate.gov/news-features/…

Fish poop feeds coral reefs! 💩 🐟 We examine the quality of fish food and poop for 51 fish species & reveal that fishes don't retain a lot of nutrients from their food, making fish poop a nutritious snack for other critters. Paper led by Dr Nina Schiettekatte : doi.org/10.1111/oik.09…

Exciting days at Kelton McMahon lab! Our lab members Hannah Rempel and @jpmarbiol are diving into Compound Specific Isotope Analysis under the guidance of Dr. Jonathan Cybulski. We love this cross lab knowledge sharing! ⚛️🐠
