The first proof of concept demonstration of nanowarming in coral tissue

This paper demonstrates the use of nanowarming and vitrification to successfully recover adult coral tissues from single-polyp microfragments, enabling year-round biobanking for reef restoration.

Cryopreservation and revival of Hawaiian stony corals via isochoric vitrification

This paper reports the first successful cryopreservation and revival of Hawaiian stony coral fragments using isochoric vitrification, demonstrating viability and a prototype pipeline for global coral conservation.

Metrics of Coral Microfragment Viability

This study assesses physiological stressors and viability of coral fragments during cryopreservation and their recovery.

Tank Fouling Community Enhances Coral Microfragment Growth

The paper tests different algal fouling communities in land-based coral microfragment culture to enhance growth and health, finding the Green Film method most effective in winter.

Securing algal endosymbiont communities for reef-building corals

This study optimizes cryopreservation techniques for coral symbionts, successfully banking and reusing them, but uptake by coral larvae remains low.

Evidence of hatch-time based growth compensation in the early life history of two salmonid fishes

The paper tests if later-hatching fish grow faster to compensate for delayed hatching, finding that older fish were not larger at capture due to faster growth.

Siderophore-mediated zinc acquisition enhances enterobacterial colonization of the inflamed gut.

This study shows that the probiotic E. coli Nissle 1917 uses yersiniabactin to acquire zinc in inflamed gut conditions, enhancing its colonization.

Extensive Secondary Contact Among Three Glacial Lineages of Arctic Char (Salvelinus alpinus) in Newfoundland and Labrador

This study sequenced Arctic char samples to assess secondary contact among three glacial lineages, finding extensive introgression and hybridization in Newfoundland and Labrador.
