The wellbeing of marine organisms is connected to their microbiome. Oysters are a vital food
source and provide ecological services, yet little is known about how climate change such …

The long-term aging of plastic leads to weathering and biofouling that can influence the
behavior and fate of plastic in the marine environment. This is the first study to fingerprint the …

Oyster reefs play a crucial role in the removal of nitrogen (N) from aquatic systems by
facilitating nutrient regeneration and denitrification, both in their tissues and shells and …

Climate change, represented by rising and fluctuating temperature, induces systematic
changes in marine organisms and in their bacterial symbionts. However, the role of host …

Despite the crucial role of microbial community composition in the quality and stability of
seafood, little emphasis has been given to the microbiota profile of sea urchin gonads. This …

Oyster microbiomes are integral to healthy function and can be altered by climate change
conditions. Genetic variation among oysters is known to influence the response of oysters to …

Oysters (phylum Mollusca, class Bivalvia, order Pterioida) are globally distributed shellfish
and are an important marine biological resource that is available to humans. Oysters have …

Background Viruses play critical roles in the marine environment because of their
interactions with an extremely broad range of potential hosts. Many studies of viruses in …
