New paper!! We reveal that life-long exposure to environmental variability induces frontloading of key #coral calcification genes. These special corals may possess an enhanced capacity to cope with climate change 🧪🦑🪸🌊🌏 @zdellaert.bsky.social @upenn.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Check out my project on Experiment! I am hoping to extend my 10-yr dataset and assess the worst marine heatwave to hit the southern Great Barrier Reef in record history 🧪🐙🪸🦑https://experiment.com/resiliencetocoralbleaching

Happy to share our latest research!
Over nearly a decade, we monitored two species of coral in Kāne‘ohe Bay, Hawai‘i to reveal that repetitive exposure to heatwaves leads to divergent coral bleaching and recovery trajectories #coralsky 🪸🐠🧪👩🏻‍🔬 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
