.. I was about to post the same thing (the plot thickens, see X :D) .. doi.org/10.1038/s420... similar implications (nutrient cycling at heart of coral-algal symbiosis) as doi.org/10.1371/jour... (primer: doi.org/10.1371/jour...) showing how coral larvae counter heat stress & OA. congratulations!

I am thrilled to announce that this will be my new workplace. I am joining @hifmb.bsky.social today to start my new focus group on host-microbe interactions in photosymbioses.

Looking forward to meeting old and new friends and exploring new collaborations. 🦠🧫🪸 #microsky

The results of a great collaboration finally out. Symbiotic carbon recycling in coral larvae is enhanced by elevated pCO2 and moderate increases in temperature. 🪸🧫 #Symbiosky
Symbiodiniaceae algal symbionts of Pocillopora damicornis larvae provide more carbon to their coral host under elevated levels of acidification and temperature
