Join the Davy Lab to study corals in New Zealand! Two PhD scholarships are available to research potential mechanisms of symbiont loss in the coral bleaching process. Collaborators include @DavidJSuggett and @VirginiaMWeis. wgtn.ac.nz/scholarships/curr…
Our recent paper by characterizes the importance of different regulatory mechanisms cnidarian hosts use to control their symbiont population: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2412396…
ALT Primary mechanisms hypothesized to control the resident symbiont population in the cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbiosis.
Handactis nutrix is a species of intertidal sea anemone that lives on brown algae. We are growing the anemones with and without their seaweed host to observe the effects of this symbiosis. Preliminary results demonstrated nutrient transport from the anemone to the host.
ALT Experimental setup.
ALT Tanks containing anemones growing on their host algae.
Huge congrats to @maggie_wuerz on her new paper analyzing symbiotic anemone volatiomes!

We have a new paper out comparing the metabolome profiles of a Hawaiian coral hosting different symbiont species!

aiptasia-resource.org/ Hello World! Please check out the new website for the Aiptasia Symbiosis Resource. This portal has information for researchers, educators, and anyone else interested in the model sea anemone Aiptasia. (1/2)
@VirginiaMWeis @DavyLabNZ @CawaTran @parkinsonje
Come see us at the VUCEL open day today in Island Bay to talk about anemones, corals and science!

A little snippet of my first coral spawn event, starring Acropora tenuis. It makes me appreciate corals even more, so beautiful! #coral – at Motobu-cho, Okinawa

Probably the best data visualization of atmospheric CO2 level rise I have seen. Clearly demonstrates how monitoring changed from a few isolated sites in the 80's to capturing global patterns youtube.com/watch?v=Yb3NsMJ-…
