Borrowing from principles of aerial seeding in terrestrial reforestation, coral utilises "devices" designed to increase spat survival. However, device-assisted survival has not been compared natural survivorship, nor have devices trialled environments with strong competitors such as macroalgae. Herein, we deployed seeded alongside terracotta tiles, a proxy for recruitment dynamics. Tiles and were plots examining ongoing macroalgae removal ("sea-weeding"), was monitored over two years....
Viruses that infect phytoplankton are abundant in all regions of the global ocean. Despite their ubiquity, little is understood regarding how biotic interactions can alter virus infection success as well fate hosts. In previous work, bacterially derived compound 2-heptyl-4-quinolone (HHQ) has been shown to protect cosmopolitan coccolithophore Emiliania huxleyi from virus-induced mortality. The present study explores potential mechanisms through which protection conferred. Using a suite...
