Elevated CO2 Has Little Influence on the Bacterial Communities Associated With the pH-Tolerant Coral, Massive Porites spp.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Ocean acidification (OA) as a result of increased anthropogenic CO2 input into the atmosphere carries consequences for all ocean life. Low pH can cause a shift in coral-associated microbial communities of pCO2-sensitive corals, however, it remains ...

Elastic Energy Storage in Biological Materials: Internal Stresses and Their Functionality

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Harnessing and storing internally generated elastic energy is a clever strategy by biological materials to perform functions like shape transformation, movement, and predation. This review explores how biological systems manipulate mechanisms like atomic or protein integration into minerals, protein conformational shifts, phase transitions, and osmotic

Responses of Coral-Associated Bacterial Communities to Local and Global Stressors

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
The microbial contribution to ecological resilience is still largely overlooked in coral reef ecology. Coral-associated bacteria serve a wide variety of functional roles with reference to the coral host, and thus, the composition of the overall ...

Coral Reef Recovery in the Mexican Caribbean after 2005 Mass Coral Mortality—Potential Drivers

Diversity, 2020
In 2005, an extreme heatwave hit the Wider Caribbean, followed by 13 hurricanes (including hurricanes Emily and Wilma) that caused significant loss in hard coral cover. However, the drivers of the potential recovery are yet to be fully understood.

3D Printing of Highly Porous Polypropylene Separators for Lithium‐Ion Batteries Using Fused Deposition Modeling and Thermally Induced Phase Separation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the 3D printing of custom‐shaped battery separators using a polypropylene/paraffin wax composite filament. A post‐processing step creates porous structures by removing wax. The printed porous separators show promising mechanical and electrochemical performance, offering a pathway toward conformable battery designs.
