Bleaching: more than just a coral problem.

Dr. Claudia Pogoreutz @cpogoreutz.bsky.social · 3d

🌟 New book chapter alert!

🪸 Coral reefs are threatened by climate change, especially by mass ‘bleaching’ events. Bleaching is caused by the loss of photosymbionts under stress, resulting in a white – ‘bleached’ - phenotype.

Bleaching of Reef Organisms: Current Knowledge, Challenges, and Future Directions into the Anthropocene

Coral reefs worldwide are threatened by climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. A global factor contributing to coral reef decline is the increasing frequency, duration, and intensity of bleaching events leading to extensive mortality of keystone species,...

🧬 Finally, we provide future directions on protection strategies and discuss the use of multi-omics tools for an integrated understanding of bleaching on coral reefs.

🔧 We provide a detailed overview of current tools to detect bleaching events at different spatial and temporal scales, the physiological and molecular mechanisms of bleaching, and the major hypotheses of bleaching.

🔬 Bleaching has been extensively studied in corals, but there are other coral reef animals that bleach under stress, which haven’t received much attention.

👩‍🔬 Interested? In this herculean effort led by Caroline Dubé, we provide an overview of bleaching in a diversity of reef animals.

My first dive into Raman microscopy! 🔬 Our latest heat stress experiments on Aiptasia raised more questions than answers — until a few days of Raman spectroscopy with Dr. Peter Mojzeš at @charlesuni.cuni.cz helped connect the dots. Grateful for the collaboration and excited about what’s ahead!

I just returned from my holiday in Finland. While we were looking for bears, wolves and co, one of my personal favorites were these green-alga bearing freshwater sponges. Photosymbiosis is everywhere if you look close enough. Maybe it‘s time for some freshwater work at @hifmb.de?

I am thrilled to announce that two exciting proposals were selected to be funded by the 2025 call for projects by the @agencerecherche.bsky.social – one major collaborative project (PRC) on which I will be co-investigator, and my Young Researcher (JCJC) project CECIL, which I will be leading.

How microbial therapies are reshaping coral reef restoration? 'Fungi and Fungi-Like Entities' chapter of 'Coral Reef Microbiome' explores the science behind microbial-based interventions to combat coral bleaching and ecosystem degradation. bit.ly/472kO39 @cpogoreutz.bsky.social

Fungi and Fungi-Like Entities

Coral microbiology research has long focused on the composition and functional roles of prokaryotic organisms, but microeukaryotic communities, including the enigmatic fungi remain a poorly understood "black box" within coral and other holobionts. Here,...
