the plot thickens;: further to (primer: , below is another study with similar findings (nutrient cycling at the heart of coral-algal symbiosis), showing how coral larvae counter heat stress (and OA). congratulations!.

Out in.@CommsBio. Acidification and warming enhance the productivity and nutrient assimilation of Pocillopora damicornis coral larvae, without destabilizing its symbiosis with intracellular algae. Big thanks to Nils Rädecker, HX Sheng,.@Reef_Algae_Lab., Peiyuan Qian, Hui Huang

new work: "Coral reef protection is fundamental to human rights" -> using a human rights framework to hasten protection of coral reefs & highlighting the strong ties to human well-being . Kudos to @emmafcamp & co-authors! @UniKonstanz.

Coral reefs support more than 1 billion people, so their loss would have significant ecological consequences as well as serious repercussions for communities worldwide. Check out our perspective on the link between reef consideration & human rights .

New work, happy to be part of this effort: massive bleaching study from Malaysia, a largely understudied region. More in the works! 👇@UniKonstanz loads of good insight, worthwhile to read the whole thing ;).
1. Corals reefs in northeast PM Malaysia are presently experiencing the worst regional coral bleaching event on record. Our recent study details the first back-to-back bleaching event previously in 2019-2020: by @Szereday @reefgenomics & AYA. Results 👇:.
