We study the microenvironmental ecology of microbial communities & symbiosis. We explore corals, seagrass, macroalgae, biofilms & microbes. We work across disciplines to develop and apply microscale analysis tools. Michael Kühl https://t.co/1qPNWHLjow .. more

Great work Nikki👍
New paper alert 🚨 my 2nd PhD chapter has been published ‼️ Uncovering increased maximum oxyregulation capacity in corals transplanted from an extreme mangrove environment to a reef flat on the GBR #EnvironmentalResearch

Take a look at our new article where we present a system to spatially map oxygen and flow fields around corals and algae 🪸

Pacherres et al. present a simple, modular experimental platform that enables spatial mapping of steady, laminar flow and O2 concentration fields over biological tissue surfaces in a 3D printed, laminar flow chamber 💨 🌍 🧪 Read the article here 👇

A modular, open source Scanning Particle Image Velocimetry system for spatial mapping of flow, oxygen concentration and boundary layers around aquatic organisms/samples.
Great collaborative work headed by @pacherres-co.bsky.social

The Microenvironmental Ecology and Symbiosis Group in May 2025

After 2 exciting weeks at Heron Island Research Station, I left my team @pacherres-co.bsky.social Qingfeng Zhang and Georg Schwendt behind for another week of coral symbiosis work These guys are amazing and hardworking, and the outcome so far mind blowing....stay tuned
