Does host diversity beget microbiome diversity? Effects of zooplankton diversity and composition on environmental and host-associated microbes

The paper investigates how zooplankton diversity and composition affect host-associated and environmental microbiomes, finding contrasting effects on microbiome diversity depending on host species.

Coral Guard substrates accelerate growth and fragment fusion for coral restoration

This study evaluates Coral Guard substrates, showing they accelerate coral growth, skeletal development, and fragment fusion, improving reef restoration efficiency.

Consistent, scale-dependent differences in the biogeography of host-associated and free-living microbiomes across systems

This study compares host-associated and free-living microbial communities across two lake systems, finding differences in diversity, spatial turnover, and neutral process explanations.
