Trophic niche partitioning in symbiotic marine invertebrates

The paper uses stable isotope data from giant clams and corals to show trophic niche partitioning along an autotrophy-heterotrophy gradient with phylogenetic signal and tradeoffs.

The bacterial microbiome of symbiotic and menthol-bleached polyps of long-term aquarium-reared Galaxea fascicularis

This study characterizes the bacterial microbiome of symbiotic and menthol-bleached Galaxea fascicularis corals from different regions, finding distinct microbiomes between colonies and a stochastic response to bleaching.

Impact of light pollution at night on male reproductive success in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes)

This study shows that light pollution at night increases dominant male fertilization success and sperm quality in Japanese medaka, while continuous light disrupts male hierarchy.

The benefits of herbivory outweigh the costs of bioerosion in a eutrophic coral community

This study shows that sea urchins benefit coral communities by reducing algal-sediment accumulation and maintaining coral growth, despite causing increased bioerosion in some species.
