[Coral-List] new bioeroding sponge research

[Blake Ramsby]

Hi, I want to announce several of our recent papers on bioeroding sponges:


  1.  Bioeroding sponge cover has been stable on the inshore GBR (open access). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-02196-z
  2.  Ocean warming induces bleaching the bioeroding sponge Cliona orientalis and the sponge could not recover from bleaching (open access). https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-26535-w
  3.  Warming also induced shifts in the microbial community of Cliona orientalis. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/mec.14544
  4.  We described two species of Symbiodinium (S. endoclionum and S. spongiolum) from sponges of the genus Cliona. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jpy.12576

Only two of those articles are open access, but you can find preprints to the restricted articles on my Researchgate<https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Blake_Ramsby/contributions>.
