#MarineSymbiomes
Thrilled to share that the #MarineSymbiomes group joined the #TMHM Symposium! I spoke on seagrass–sponge interactions, and our postdoc Elena Quintanilla presented on seagrass–clam symbioses #ENGAGE_prin. Great science, people, and discussions—thanks to @memartino.bsky.social & Raquel Peixoto!

📢 Preprints alert! 🧪 Excited to share two preprints from the #MarineSymbiomes group! In the first, we quantify nutrient fluxes in the Posidonia oceanica-Chondrilla nucula association. Our findings suggest reciprocal benefits, highlighting key ecological dynamics. 🌱🌊 1/3
Reciprocal nutritional benefits in a sponge-seagrass association
Sponges commonly form associations within seagrass meadows, but their potential impact on seagrass productivity and nutrient cycles remains poorly understood. This study investigates the association b...

Wrapping up final sampling for the #ENGAGE_prin manipulative experiment! 🌊🌱🐚 Plants, lucinid clams, and sediment were exposed to a marine heatwave — it’s time to check how metaorganisms respond alone vs. in association. Incredible teamwork! 💪 Go #MarineSymbiomes! #SymbioSky #MicroSky #MarineEcology
