This study examines how thermal stress affects microbial symbiosis and host activity in the sponge Ianthella basta, showing tissue regression, symbiont loss, and microbial shifts under elevated temperatures.

The paper examines how marine reserves affect seawater microbial communities in the Great Barrier Reef, finding distinct microbiomes between protected and fished areas.

The paper presents a microbial genomes database for the Great Barrier Reef, highlighting underrepresented prokaryotic and viral genomes and their utility in predicting reef management impacts.
