Liposome supplementation enhances host metabolism in a model symbiotic cnidarian

Abstract Stable cnidarian–dinoflagellate symbioses provide the trophic foundation of coral reef ecosystems. Understanding nutrient exchange underpinning this symbiosis, and the need for interventions to improve coral health via aquaculture, grow increasingly urgent as reefs face...

Trophic Antioxidant Transfer as a Measure for Scalable Coral Conservation Strategies

Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by elevated seawater temperatures associated with heatwaves and El Niño events. These phenomena challenge conventional management practices, highlighting an urgent need for innovative interventions to enhance reef resilience. Investigating...
