Davy Lab

Join the Davy Lab to study corals in New Zealand! Two PhD scholarships are available to research potential mechanisms of symbiont loss in the coral bleaching process. Collaborators include @DavidJSuggett and @VirginiaMWeis. wgtn.ac.nz/scholarships/c…

Our recent paper by characterizes the importance of different regulatory mechanisms cnidarian hosts use to control their symbiont population: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Handactis nutrix is a species of intertidal sea anemone that lives on brown algae. We are growing the anemones with and without their seaweed host to observe the effects of this symbiosis. Preliminary results demonstrated nutrient transport from the anemone to the host.

Huge congrats to @maggie_wuerz on her new paper analyzing symbiotic anemone volatiomes! @ClintOak @DavidJSuggett @VirginiaMWeis @CaitlinAlinya @MaikenLand journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

We have a new paper out comparing the metabolome profiles of a Hawaiian coral hosting different symbiont species! @tinyscientist link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Cool new publication from the Davy Lab! Ashley Sproles' work using #nanoSIMS studied the difference in carbon and nitrogen assimilation between a homologous and a heterologous symbiont in #Aiptasia. @WeisLab @EPFL_en doi.org/10.1111/1462-2…

aiptasia-resource.org Hello World! Please check out the new website for the Aiptasia Symbiosis Resource. This portal has information for researchers, educators, and anyone else interested in the model sea anemone Aiptasia. (1/2) @VirginiaMWeis @DavyLabNZ @CawaTran @parkinsonje

Come see us at the VUCEL open day today in Island Bay to talk about anemones, corals and science! #talktoascientist @VicUniWgtn

A great piece in @PNAS on the current research and future directions of coral bleaching! pnas.org/content/117/5/…

Join the Davy lab! 🥼🧪🔬🌊 Two PhD scholarships are available at @VicUniWgtn to study the cellular basis of inter-partner communication in the coral-algal symbiosis. bit.ly/2QbQaNi Please share! #Aiptasia #PhD

This is how the Japanese do lab work! @Harii_Lab

After an awesome half year visit @DavyLabNZ and successful coral spawning in Okinawa, now enjoying the great hospitality of @WeisLab and getting exciting new experiences @OregonState #symbiosis #endlesssummer

Successful two weeks teaching the Tropical Marine Conservation course as part of the Masters program at @VicUniWgtn. Nth Stradbroke Island and Heron Island covering seagrass, mangrove, and coral reef ecosystems.

A little snippet of my first coral spawn event, starring Acropora tenuis. It makes me appreciate corals even more, so beautiful! #coral

By popular request from @its_RWright I give you the #AstrangiaThings interpretative "dance" because science is serious #Astrangia #omnomnom

Check out our publication on the mass bleaching and recovery of a Sydney Harbour coral! Bit of everything in here - benthic surveys, photophys, calcification, Symbiodiniaeceae, & microbiome! doi.org/10.1007/s00338… @SamanthaGoyen @DavidJSuggett @emmafcamp @UTS_Science @uts_c3

A diverse and unique flora of symbiotic algae at Atauro Island #TimorLeste - new #CoralReefs paper by @JoshBrian19 @DavyLabNZ now online at link.springer.com/article/10.100…

An @AMPFoundation #tomorrowmaker grant helps @UTSEngage Associate Professor @DavidJSuggett with his efforts to save the Great Barrier Reef. We’ll announce our #tomorrowmakers for 2018 in #Sydney tonight.

Probably the best data visualization of atmospheric CO2 level rise I have seen. Clearly demonstrates how monitoring changed from a few isolated sites in the 80's to capturing global patterns youtube.com/watch?v=Yb3NsM…
