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.

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...

🧪🌏 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 paper alert 🚨 my 2nd PhD chapter has been published ‼️ Uncovering increased maximum oxyregulation capacity in corals transplanted from an extreme mangrove environment to a reef flat on the GBR #EnvironmentalResearch

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.

Newly published, "Why aquatic deoxygenation belongs in the planetary boundary framework"

Congratulations to leads Erica Ferrer and Ariel Pezner @apezner.bsky.social

The Coral Reef and Ocean Health Research Group at the Harte Research Institute (HRI) is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher to advance our understanding of coral reef resilience and health.

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.
