Heat-tolerant symbionts a critical key to protecting Florida’s elkhorn coral from bleaching during marine heatwaves

Florida scientists have identified heat-tolerant algal symbionts as a vital intervention to protect endangered elkhorn coral. Their cross-institutional collaboration offers new hope for reef restoration and resilience amid rising ocean temperatures.

Previously uncharacterized parasite uncovered in fish worldwide

Using genome reconstruction, scientists unveiled a once “invisible” fish parasite  present in many marine fish world-wide that belongs to one of the most important groups of parasites at a clinical level. However, it had gone unnoticed in previous studies. The parasite is geographically and taxonomically widespread in fish species around the planet, with implications for commercial fishing and oceanic food webs.

How fish play a critical role in the oceanic carbon cycle

Three researchers from the University of Miami are conducting experiments to better determine the important role fish play in the oceanic carbon cycle, studying everything from how much carbonate fish produce to the path of the minerals in the water column.

‘Science Friday’ host shines a light on cephalopods

Ira Flatow, host and executive producer of “Science Friday,” recorded a radio show at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science last week as part of a celebration of cephalopods—a marine invertebrate. The event was organized with South Florida’s local public radio affiliate, WLRN.
