Predator-prey dynamics of Vibrio cholerae on chitin suggest an alternative mode of biofilm formation in marine snow conditions Abstract. Vibrio cholerae is a ubiquitous marine bacterium that solubilizes and consumes chitin in the marine water column. In both the marine environment

This problem is at the core of the most widely used method for predicting adaptation to future climate. Reposting in case some GEA (genotype-environment association) people missed original post. 🧪

The coral microbiome can therefore serve as a proxy for environmental variation when environment cannot be measured directly, such as in ancientDNA studies.

We also find that the A. millepora microbiome is predictive of environmental variation, and that Endozoicomonas variation is low during bleaching, consisitent with previous findings.

Here, we find that dominant photosymbiont identity, host genetics, and environmental variation, but not bleaching status, predicts the microbiome of Acropora millepora in the Central Great Barrier Reef. The microbiome correlates with dominant photosymbiont identity even during bleaching events.

The Acropora millepora microbiome is predicted by algal symbionts, host genetics, and environment The coral microbiome is a critical component of coral health and resilience, yet it is unclear what factors drive coral microbiome composition, especially within the context of coral bleaching. Here, ...
