Roseobacter enrichment early in life facilitates future colonization of Roseobacter bacteria and improves long-term survival against Vibrio aestuarianus in the Pacific oyster

The paper tests if early exposure to Roseobacter bacteria improves Pacific oyster survival against Vibrio aestuarianus at high temperatures, finding a 28-30% survival benefit.

Cool ocean temperatures fail to buffer the impacts of heat exposure during low tide on the behaviour and physiology of a keystone predator

This study shows that cool ocean temperatures do not buffer thermal stress for juvenile Pisaster ochraceus during extreme heat events, leading to increased mortality and reduced feeding.
