​Nils Rädecker's talk on "understanding coral bleaching in the light of holobiont nutrient cycling" awarded best student talk at ECRS 2017.

​In our latest publication by Voolstra et al. we assembled the genome of the robust coral Stylophora pistillata to compare it to the complex coral Acropora digitifera.

​In our latest publication by Sebastian Baumgarten et al. in Molecular Ecology we report evidence that miRNA mediate posttranslational modifications during symbiont infection in Aiptasia.

​Check out our latest publication by Hagen Gegner et al. reporting on salinity conveyed thermotolerance in Aiptasia. Online now in Biology Open!

​Check out our latest publication in the ISME journal by Maren Ziegler et al. looking into community dynamics of rare algal symbionts and their potential role in coral resilience.

​Hagen Gegner and Carol Buitrago-Lopez made 1st place with their oral and poster presentation at the RSRC Open Science Conference!

In our latest publication by Osman et al. we link histaorical recordds of coral belaching and SSTs in the Red Sea to identfiy potential refugia against coral belaching.

​In our latest publication Anny Cárdenas et al. show that excess labile carbon enrichment promotes virulent gene expression in coral reef bacterioplankton communities.

​Our recent Science Advances paper on the role of floridoside has been featured in media.

Check out our latest paper in Science Advances on the role of floridoside in osmoregulation and its potential role in thermotolerance in coral associated algal endosymbionts.

Here we re-analyzed existing RNA-Seq data to investigate viral diversity associated with Symbiodinium and its community response to heat stress. ​

In our latest publication by Rädecker, Pogoreutz et al. we add further evidence that Symbiodinium may be CO2 limited even during stable symbiosis.​

Check out our latest paper by Till Röthig et al. investigating microbiome flexibility in Red Sea deep sea corals under in situ and aquaria conditions.​

The results of this year's Ecological Genomics course investigating the effects of iron enrichment on Red Sea corals have now been published.​

In our latest publication, Yum and colleagues analyzed reference transcriptomes and expression profiles for three deep-sea coral species from the Red Sea to gain further insights into their biology.​​​​​​

​Congratulations to Parsifal Islas Morales recently awarded with the Cinna Lomnitz Medal for his work on science communication in Mexico!

Patterns of nitrogen fixation align with trophic groups of two coral families. Read our new publication in Frontiers in Microbiology!

Here we used phenotypic profiling to unravel the secrets of Saudi Arabian plants used in traditional medicine.
