• Coral Community Composition Linked to Hypoxia Exposure 

  Lucey, Noelle M.; César‐Ávila, Carolina; Eckert, Alaina; Rajagopalan, Anushka; Brister, William C.; Kline, Esme; Altieri, Andrew H.; Deutsch, Curtis A.; Collin, Rachel (2024)

  Tropical reef ecosystems are strongly influenced by the composition of coral species, but the factors influencing coral diversity and distributions are not fully understood. Here we demonstrate that large variations in the ...

• Introgression of the gamete recognition molecule, bindin, in the sea urchin <i>Diadema</i> 

  Lessios, Harilaos A. (2024)

  Hybridization is important in evolution, because it is a necessary (though not sufficient) step in the introgression of potentially adaptive variation between species. Bindin is a gamete recognition protein in echinoids ...
• Divergence between sea urchins and their microbiota following speciation 

  Carrier, Tyler J.; Schwob, Guillaume; Ketchum, Remi N.; Lessios, Harilaos A.; Reitzel, Adam M. (2024)

  Animals have a deep evolutionary relationship with microbial symbionts, such that individual microbes or an entire microbial community can diverge alongside the host. Here, we explore these host-microbe relationships in ...
