Exploring thermal tolerance across time and space in a tropical bivalve, Pinctada margaritifera

This study assesses thermal tolerance of Pinctada margaritifera across life stages and sites, revealing higher vulnerability in early larvae and significant thermal injury under extreme conditions.

Epigenetic then genetic variations underpin rapid adaptation of oyster populations (Crassostrea gigas) to Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome (POMS)

This study shows that both genetic and epigenetic variations contribute to rapid adaptation of oyster populations to POMS, with epigenetic factors explaining a significant portion of phenotypic variation.

Cooperation and cheating orchestrate Vibrio assemblages and polymicrobial synergy in oysters infected with OsHV-1 virus

The paper investigates Vibrio species interactions with OsHV-1 virus in oyster POMS, finding cooperative and cheating behaviors that shape disease pathogenesis.

Transcriptomics of mussel transmissible cancer MtrBTN2 suggests accumulation of multiple cancerous traits and oncogenic pathways shared among bilaterians

The paper performs transcriptomic analysis of MtrBTN2 transmissible cancer cells to identify oncogenic traits and shared pathways among bilaterians.

Population genomics of Pocillopora corals: insights from RAD-sequencing

This study uses RAD-sequencing to investigate species delimitation and genetic structure in Pocillopora corals, finding significant differentiation between Oman and French Polynesia samples.

A core of functional complementary bacteria infects oysters in Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome.

The paper identifies a core bacterial consortium that collaborates with OsHV-1 Var in POMS pathogenesis, showing metabolic complementarity and conservation across environments.

Microbiota composition and evenness predict survival rate of oysters confronted to Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome

The paper investigates whether microbiota characteristics can predict survival rates of oysters infected with Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome.

Gene expression plasticity and frontloading promote thermotolerance in Pocillopora corals

This study compares thermal stress responses in Pocillopora corals from Oman and New Caledonia, finding differences in transcriptomic plasticity and gene expression patterns.

Separate the wheat from the chaff: genomic scan for local adaptation in the red coral Corallium rubrum

The paper uses RAD-Sequencing to study genetic structure and local adaptation in red coral, identifying candidate loci under selection but noting methodological challenges.
