We found that the gametophytes had low survival with an altered microbial community, which got worse as temperature screwed up. Also, they did not reproduce at all without their orignial, unaltered community present. No #microbes, no #kelpsex? Stay tuned for more microbe-gametophyte projects!

Hello bluesky! Happy to transition here and kick it off with a new publication and alltogether great collaboration with @a-h-mcgrath.bsky.social: microbes may increase kelp gametophyte thermal resilience and help them have sex 🦠🌊🌿!
