The paper characterizes the eukaryotic diversity in coral reef environments, revealing high diversity and identifying environmental drivers shaping these communities.

The paper investigates the diversity and distribution of Apicomplexa across marine environments using metabarcoding data, revealing previously unknown diversity and biogeographic patterns.

The paper analyzes global ocean data to show that physical and biological patchiness are decoupled, using variance slope to quantify spatial patterns.

The paper analyzes genetic divergence in three coral species across a Pacific environmental gradient, showing species-specific evolutionary patterns despite similar environments.

This paper develops a field-friendly framework for characterizing coral holobionts using nanopore sequencing and bioinformatics pipelines, revealing reef-scale bacterial networks and host-specific associations.
