Celebrating transitions! 🎉 Elena Quintanilla secures a Marie Curie fellowship to advance her research 🧪 in the #MarineSymbiomes group @szndohrn.bsky.social! Meanwhile, we bid farewell to Alice Blanckaert as she joins the #csm in Monaco for her next postdoc! 🌊🔬 Read more about their journeys! 👇

A sparkling ocean view under a clear blue sky, with sunlight shimmering on the water's surface. A house and trees sit perched on the rocky shoreline, and a sailboat drifts in the distance.

A joyful moment captured as two glasses of sparkling wine are clinked together in celebration, with the ocean and a sunlit view visible through large windows. A smiling person adds warmth to the scene.

🧪Proposal submitted! Feels like I just ran a marathon. Now, where’s my long Christmas break... oh wait, that’s over too. Guess I’ll settle for a fancy lunch break with sparkling wine and sea view: cheers to that! #MicroSky #SymbioSky #marineecology #MarineSymbiomes

Reciprocal nutritional benefits in a sponge-seagrass association Sponges commonly form associations within seagrass meadows, but their potential impact on seagrass productivity and nutrient cycles remains poorly understood. This study investigates the association b...

📢 Preprints alert! 🧪 Excited to share two preprints from the #MarineSymbiomes group! In the first, we quantify nutrient fluxes in the Posidonia oceanica-Chondrilla nucula association. Our findings suggest reciprocal benefits, highlighting key ecological dynamics. 🌱🌊 1/3

🌊 Excited to share our new preprint! 🪸🌱 We study an association between the Mediterranean seagrass P. oceanica and the sponge C. nucula, exploring their reciprocal nutritional benefits. Check it out @BioRxiv-Ecology.bsky.social! #ENGAGE_prin #MarineSymbiomes #SymbioSky #MicroSky #MarineEcology

Wrapping up final sampling for the #ENGAGE_prin manipulative experiment! 🌊🌱🐚 Plants, lucinid clams, and sediment were exposed to a marine heatwave — it’s time to check how metaorganisms respond alone vs. in association. Incredible teamwork! 💪 Go #MarineSymbiomes! #SymbioSky #MicroSky #MarineEcology

In the #ENGAGE_prin project, we are exploring how species interactions in #seagrass meadows can boost resilience against climate change. Check out our latest experiment at Livorno Aquarium! Follow us here and at marinesymbiomes.eu/engage #MarineScience #MarineSymbiomes
