🌊 The mid-latitude marine heatwaves now pushing 4–5°C above normal in many regions. This isn’t seasonal warming; it’s a climate alarm bell. Ecosystems are under stress.

A month-long summer sea temperature anomaly of +2C is enough to kill most coral species on the Great Barrier Reef.
+8C in the Mediterranean will devastate marine ecosystems.

What are the odds this July’s Mediterranean heat is natural?
About 1 in a billion!
It's the most extreme Mediterannean heatwave on record, for this time of year. This is a thread, digging deep, adding context, so follow along… 1/

1/ In our new paper, we explored whether obligate mutualisms can survive abrupt stress via evolutionary rescue.
We found that evolutionary rescue is possible—but it comes at the cost of mutualism. @jfriedman.bsky.social

Mutualism breakdown underpins evolutionary rescue in an obligate cross-feeding bacterial consortium - Nature Communications
Rapid genetic adaptation to environmental change, or evolutionary rescue, can be constrained by a less adaptable mutualistic partner. Here, the authors explore evolutionary rescue in an obligate mutua...

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/...

These parasite-like partners have lost photosynthesis but retained chlorophyll... are they friend or foe?

Our newest research in @nature.com
We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains

After record heat stress and mass bleaching for more than two years globally, Australia's largest fringing reef - Ningaloo Reef - is now also in the midst of a severe bleaching event 💔
Large areas of WA’s Ningaloo corals could die in ‘weeks ahead’ after widespread bleaching documented
Conservationists call for urgent government action as prolonged heatwave affects renowned reef, including Turquoise Bay, Tantabiddi and Bundegi

Happy to see a large chunk of my PhD work published today in Cell Host&Microbe: www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...
We conducted fluorescence-activated single-cell sorting of active predatory protists in the ocean and recovered symbionts with cool evolutionary positions close to animal pathogens.

It's a cyanobacteria on the outside, fungus on the inside.
Well, sort of. The fungus lives in the extracellular sheath produced by the Cyanobacteria, and therefore are not really true endophytes. But the cyanos do create the external structure.
