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

A comparative evaluation of satellite and bio-argo-based net primary productivity algorithms for the north Indian Ocean

Discover Oceans
We estimate the net primary productivity (NPP) based on bio-argo measurements using three algorithms: Vertically Generalised Production Model (VGPM), Eppley-VGPM and the original Carbon-based Production Model (CbPM).

High frequency temperature variability reduces the risk of coral bleaching

Nature Communications, 2018
Coral bleaching is the detrimental expulsion of algal symbionts from their cnidarian hosts, and predominantly occurs when corals are exposed to thermal stress. The incidence and severity of bleaching is often spatially heterogeneous within reef-scales (

Turbid reefs moderate coral bleaching under climate‐related temperature stress

Global Change Biology, 2020
Thermal‐stress events that cause coral bleaching and mortality have recently increased in frequency and severity. Yet few studies have explored conditions that moderate coral bleaching.

Coral diseases and bleaching on Colombian Caribbean coral reefs

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2015
<span>Desde 1998 el “Sistema Nacional de Monitoreo de Arrecifes Coralinos de Colombia” SIMAC, ha observado la ocurrencia de enfermedades coralinas y blanqueamiento en arrecifes colombianos (estaciones fijas en la Isla de San Andrés, Tayrona, Islas del Rosario, Islas de San Bernardo y Urabá Chocoano).

Iron‐Catalyzed Laser‐Induced Graphitization Enabling Current Collector‐Free Electrodes With Spatially Tunable Iron/Iron Oxide Phases

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Iron‐catalyzed laser‐induced graphitization (IC‐LIG) enables the eco‐efficient fabrication of current collector‐free carbon electrodes on renewable substrates, outperforming traditional methods. Tunable ink rheology supports spray coating, screen printing, and DIW of complex patterns, while laser post‐treatment allows spatial control of iron phases ...

Microbial and transcriptional response of Acropora valida and Turbinaria peltata to Vibrio coralliilyticus challenge: insights into corals disease resistance

BMC Microbiology
Background Coral diseases are significant drivers of global coral reef degradation, with pathogens dominated by Vibrio coralliilyticus playing a prominent role in the development of coral diseases.

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 ...

Coral bacterial community structure responds to environmental change in a host-specific manner

Nature Communications, 2019
The global decline of coral reefs heightens the need to understand how corals respond to changing environmental conditions. Corals are metaorganisms, so-called holobionts, and restructuring of the associated bacterial community has been suggested as a ...
