The paper develops a hemocyte viability assay to test bacterial pathogenicity in bivalves, showing it correlates with larval mortality and enables year-round research.

This study shows that specific Vibrio mediterranei lineages protect oyster larvae from pathogen-induced mortality under both ambient and thermal stress conditions.

The paper improves genomic inference by masking haplotigs in the eastern oyster genome, enhancing SNP discovery and diversity estimates.

This study characterizes the microbiome of the eastern oyster using 16S rRNA profiling, shotgun metagenomics, and metabolic reconstruction, revealing a dominant Mollicutes taxon with unique metabolic functions.
