Great documentary about our work University of Derby and CoralSpawningLab with footage from the great Dr Jamie Craggs m.youtube.com/watch?si=lSQk6…

Words cannot describe of how proud I am of Rinn who just published her first first-authored paper. Rindah is my first student since I am back in Indonesia in 2019 we have been working together for both her BSc Universitas Padjadjaran and MSc IPB

How to sample and analyse the #microbiome and #microenvironment of the #gastrovascular cavity of #corals. New @microsensing article headed by Elena Bollati & DavidHughes with David J Suggett & JB Raina Supported by Moore Foundation animalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Looking for a PhD project related with climate changes and tropicalization? Here is an excellent opportunity, PhD based on UK with Dr. Phillip Fenberg and fieldwork at Baja México 😉 findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

The Yanbu 2024 Expedition is a wrap!🪸⛴️Huge thanks to the @CoralSymBiomiX lab for making me part of this incredible journey led by Dr. Holger Anlauf and Ricardo M. Pedraza-Pohlenz Great moments on the boat and underwater, incredible teamwork, achieved goals, and countless stories to tell!😄

What a day! Today I rejected 3 manuscritps as an editor because they contained a lot AI-generated text 😵‍💫

🪸New Preprint Alert!🪸 I’m excited to share our latest research on #SCTLD that uses a feature selection algorithm to identify key gene expression changes associated with disease progression in M. cavernosa and it’s dominant algal endosymbiont. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/art…

Save the date!!

Are you using #eDNA 🧬 to examine diversity on tropical coral reefs? Season matters!!! We show to ⬆️ detections, sampling in warmer months is the go - avoid winter - June/July (Sth Hem) 🪸🐠💦 Joseph DiBattista Katrina West LIRRF TrEnD Lab eDNAfrontiers link.springer.com/10.1007/s00338…

We are thrilled to announced the publication of chromosome level genome assemblies and genetic maps for the Caribbean corals, Acropora palmata and Acropora cervicornis. bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Exciting new study reveals that corals can adjust their thermal tolerance thresholds in response to seasonal temperature changes in a species-specific way Check this out! nature.com/articles/s4200… KAUST BESE AEON Collective International Coral Reef Society

Seasonal variations of temperature modify coral thermal tolerance threshold for Pocillopora verrucosa species while Acropora spp. remain unchanged when exposed to the same in situ conditions. Francisca C. García Raquel Peixoto Marine Microbiomes Lab nature.com/articles/s4200…

Check out our newly published work showing that compounds in sponge exhalent water influence the composition, growth, and nutrient cycling of coral reef picoplankton. rdcu.be/d49mx

🧬📝🚨 Out today: A genomics learning framework for undergraduates We hope this will be one more tool to help integrate genomics into undergraduate education by supporting evidence-based curriculum design with a set of standardized concepts. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
