Despite a relatively stable microbiome, we reveal that microbial co-occurrence networks shift between daytime carbohydrate catabolism and nighttime methylotrophy, indicating metabolic hand-offs across domains of life within the holobiont. #SymbioSky #ProtistsOnSky

To help reduce the annotation gap of functional assignment in non-model organisms like corals, we supplemented our host gene ontology enrichment terms using protT5 protein language model to predict functions for poorly annotated proteins, adding more context beyond standard homology-based pipelines.

We uncover transcriptional rhythms in the coral, including dawn initiated RNA biosynthesis, midday & dusk regulation of phosphate metabolism, and midnight activation of stress and repair pathways. Breviolum sp. displays tightly regulated cell cycle dynamics and nutrient transport oscillations.

🚨New Pub Alert🚨 We present a system-level molecular framework of natural diel regulation in the stony coral P. strigosa, integrating host & symbiodiniaceae transcriptomics with microbiome dynamics over 6hr intervals. Amazing to publish this PhD work @miamirosenstiel.bsky.social 👉 shorturl.at/TzYEr

GBE | The Chromosome-Scale Genome Assembly of the Redlip Blenny, Ophioblennius macclurei (Blenniidae)

The article by Kulikov et al. presents the chromosome-scale genome of the red lip blenny (Ophioblennius macclurei). This resource could help better understand the cryptic diversity and species boundaries within the genus. Photo by: Evan D’Alessandro.

Your students arrive in Curaçao earlier than you and say: We are bored. Can we do that extra diel cycle sampling that we talked about 🤔 ?

Your only answer as a PI: Sure 😬

The outcome? Sleep-deprived students and an excellent work on the #coral holobiont rhythmicity 🪸🦠⏰

This effort was a 'tour de force' only made possible by my incredible lab @ambonacolta.bsky.social and @fonamental.bsky.social. Absolutely thrilled to get this part of my Ph.D. dissertation out, thank you everyone involved!

Lastly, we explored microbiome structure 🦠 through time. Broadly, the microbial composition is largely stable through time, with notable taxon-specific changes through day/night light cycles. During the day carbohydrate catabolizers show enrichment, while night hours feature methylotrophs.

Similar to the host, the symbiont Breviolum showed diel regulated transcription, although more subtle. Time-specific functions were recovered, showing metabolite transfer and nitrogen/carbohydrate metabolism through daytime, while cellular division and reorganization/turnover during the dark hours.

In the coral host, we observed dawn as a molecular surge in RNA metabolism 🧬, midday exhibits high phosphate regulation 🔋, dusk reflects lipid & amino acid metabolism ♻️, and midnight shows mRNA catabolism & mitochondrial reorganization 🗂️. Most striking, we recovered ~30% transcripts as rhythmic.

Bryozoans are key habitat-formers, yet often overlooked in climate research.
Our work shows they’re at risk under future ocean conditions.
🌊 We need more long-term, multi-stressor studies in natural settings. Stay tuned for the ongoing HOLOCHANGE and MedAcidWarm projects!

This is the first study to document long-term microbiome and skeletal responses to combined ocean acidification & warming in bryozoans in the wild.
We reveal:
✅ Complex, species-specific strategies
⚠️ Signs of vulnerability under future ocean conditions

What about long-term effects?
We monitored Pentapora populations over 5 years:
📉 Bryozoan cover declined
☠️ Necrosis increased
🌡️ Warming & acidification together accelerated mortality

But not all are good news...
We also observed:
📉 Loss of key microbial genera
☠️Rise of opportunists & anaerobes
These microbial shifts may signal early dysbiosis — an early warning of declining host health.

🦠 Microbial communities:
We found species-specific core microbiomes, conserved across both pH conditions.
This stability suggests potential acclimatization capacity in both species despite environmental stress.
