Using extensive geographic sampling and ~1000 hologenomes, Denis et al. uncover distinct eco-evolutionary processes shaping genetic connectivity and diversity in a reef-building coral and its associated algal symbionts. www.cell.com/current-biol...

We are approaching 5000 #followers – time to say thanks! 😀👏 As soon as we hit this magic mark, we'll raffle off 10 goodie bags of MPIMM-merch among you, our 5,000 followers! 🎉🎁 🌊🔬🚢🧑‍🔬 It is wonderful to be in touch with so many of you & share & discuss our research! 🤩 @maxplanck.de #marinescience

📣 #OurLastPaper is out! And it's a major breakthrough that we're publishing in @cp-cell.bsky.social l: we've discovered architect bacteria that build complex structures to feed themselves better! #SymbioSky 1/5

A long, long time ago, we started this review project during the first Coron lockdown, but if finally made it out into the world - Origin and function of beneficial bacterial symbioses in insects! @naturerevmicro.bsky.social

New preprint is out! We investigate how well you can call variants directly from genome assemblies compared to traditional read-based variant calling. Read it here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Data & code: github.com/rrwick/Are-r... (1/8)

Spannend: @jkiefer.bsky.social erzählt auf dem 5. Bremer #OceanDay über seine #Forschung und die spannende Welt der #Meeressymbiosen. #Machmint #Meeresforschung #Wisskomm #Bremen @unibremen.bsky.social

A paper in Nature reports that the loggerhead turtle can learn and remember the magnetic signature of an area and does a ‘turtle dance’ when in a location that they associate with food. https://go.nature.com/4jSQEDo 🐢 🧪
