🚨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!

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! ⚛️🐠
