How do corals feed? The energy suply from ingested food has been underestimated. Corals gain energy through photosynthesis and plankton. A study by Connor Love & #ZMT highlights this for reef resilience under climate change. © Marleen Stuhr & ZMT

Corals don’t just live off sunlight 🌞, they also feed on tiny plankton 🦐
We show that corals 🪸selectively incorporate nitrogen and fatty acids from feeding, while carbon tracers often miss this input - meaning heterotrophy and its functional role may be underestimated. @leibniz-zmt.de #CoralResearch

🌟 Serendipity led to this exciting study from a cruise to the northern #RedSea 🌊 on board the RV #Meteor 🚢 , based on incidental discoveries.
We solved the riddle by finding the missing pieces 🧩 in a deep-sea #brinepool 🍃
