Excellent start to 1st trial of ReefSeed- the pop-up coral aquaculture system designed to assist reef restoration in remote regions. Supported by @CORDAP_, we're working with the team from @MMRI_Maldives & have >3mill larvae developing - more to come! ➡️ https://t.co/emsTqdaiid

Coral larvae settle on a reef using chemical cues from crustose coralline algae. @MAAbdulWahab1 @NegsAndrew + team are extracting the cue favoured by many coral species to ⬆️ larval settlement for restoration activities. #RRAP @DCCEEW @GBRFoundation ➡️ https://t.co/UaUGd9oVuf

We’ve reached a milestone – delivering 100k baby corals to the #GreatBarrierReef 🥳 – our largest field trial in #coralrestoration research!! Overcoming bottlenecks & scaling up efforts for an ecosystem like the Reef is a complex puzzle. 🔗 https://t.co/YrkPVBdZvw

Really stoked to finally share this preprint, 4 years in the making, that characterizes larval precompetency periods and settlement responses for 25 GBR coral species. @SeaSim_AIMS @aims_gov_au

Corals are severely bleaching in much of the W Atlantic and Caribbean. If a coral survives, will it contribute to the next gen? Check out our preprint - latent effects of bleaching on Acropora reproduction! @aims_gov_au Congrats @NicoBriggs1! #ACRRI #WCP

Hot off the press! We predicted spawning and uncovered a novel microbial transmission process in a broadcast spawning sponge. Well done @Pam_Engelberts!🎉
Interested in microbial transmission? Check out our paper on the vertical transmission of all dominant symbionts in the sponge Ianthella basta. We combined 16S, TEM, and FISH to show that the transmission occurs through a unique mechanism. https://t.co/g7NNRCvisa
