We show that anemones absorb #lipid nanoparticles directly from seawater, stimulating their #metabolism. Details, and potential applications for #coral reef restoration and aquaculture, in our new preprint!

Corals maintain stable populations of essential photosynthetic symbionts by controlling their cell cycle, not by eating them! Our new #PNAS paper monitored and modelled #aiptasia cell cycle, autophagy, and expulsion for over a year. #symbiosis #microbiology www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

This is Moko, an 800-year-old rimu in Ōtari-Wilton's Bush in Wellington. Enormous, covered in epiphytes, and very near the city center!

Andrea's new paper explores oxylipin receptors in the coral symbiosis and how they may be important for the stability and the functional biology of coral reefs. Congrats Andrea!

The methods and scale of coral reef restoration efforts have advanced immensely in the past few years, some of these tools are amazing. Enjoying learning about the latest global efforts at #ReefFutures !

We detailed how dinoflagellate proteomes shift over time during symbiosis establishment, and contrasted physiological and immune pathways in successful and opportunistic symbionts. See our new paper in ISMEJ! academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...
