GBE | Cosmopolitan Gene Families With Known Functions Are Hotspots for the Evolution of Novel Genes in Stony Corals Photos: Erin Chille / Debashish Bhattacharya

Stephens, Kulczyk & @bhattacharyalab.bsky.social suggest that dark genes (those with no ascribable biological function) in stony corals originated via bursts of lineage-specific duplication, often from genes with known functions.

80% of marine Species Distribution Models ignore acidification and deoxygenation. We show that by considering these drivers, predicted range contractions for cold-water corals can scale up to 21.4%!

Yes. Same thing in the oceans. #Bacteria fix nitrogen for algae and #corals. But when we dump agricultural waste (nitrogen + antibiotics) into the oceans, we disrupt key cycles and then blame it mostly on abstract "climate change"?

Green "Favia brain coral in a reef aquarium

A lot people are surprised at the size of these frags. We have been caring for these corals since sometime in 2010. We have made hundreds of frags of these corals and grown multiple colonies over 14" in diameter.
