New open-access 📰in the journal Coral Reefs 👇 "Heat-evolved microalgal symbionts increase thermal bleaching tolerance of coral juveniles without a trade-off against growth" link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Great talk today by Prof. James Davis Reimer at #JCRS on the evolution and ecology of a cave-living Palythoa spp.

Congrats to Joshua Heitzman for the best presentation award of the Japanese Coral Reef Society! Looking at the effects of turf algae on reef functions under ocean acidification ICONA #coralreefs #oceanacidification #eco2phys #jcrs

Lab days are the best days, especially when they involve unraveling the mysteries of coral life #corallife #Lablife #womeninoceanscience #okinawajapan

Interested to learn more about variability in precompetency of coral taxa? I'm thrilled to finally share our new study in Communications Biology, the culmination of nearly 4 years of testing across 25 species! Thanks to SeaSim for all the spawning support! #ACRRI #RRAP Australian Institute of Marine Science

After 6 years, these corals are off to the field. Theyʻve been growing in the lab since they were bred in 2018, and are now too big. Dead tissue and algae was removed & they were attached to concrete blocks. They'll go to the field to grow, where we can still collect gametes.

🔥 Hot off the press! New paper: 'Shallow corals acclimate to mesophotic depths while maintaining their heat tolerance against ongoing climate change.' 🪸🌊 Discover how corals adapt to deeper waters while staying resilient to rising temps. 🌍✨#coral #climatechange #mesophotic

We had an amazing experience at the #Advanced Light #Microscopy Course at #OIST. Great opportunity to see and learn about some of the most advanced microscopes in the world. It was truly inspiring to explore these cutting-edge technologies. #womeninoceanscience

Another significant coral bleaching event unfolding along West Australian Ningaloo Reef world heritage area. More than 3 degrees above normal temperatures show clear signs of bleaching in several species, including resilient massive corals. abc.net.au/news/2025-02-1…

Just another day of research, but this time with my sweetest little coworker napping next to me😄
