¿Por qué algunos corales resisten al calor y otros no? 🪸 🌡️ La expedición #TaraCoral busca la respuesta en el Pacífico. Hablamos con Javier del Campo (@IBE_Barcelona) sobre el microbioma marino y con Raquel Villacampa sobre el concurso de #DatoAlOjo por el Día de las Matemáticas. 👇 Escuchar: f.mtr.cool/eqiokbnxhz 📻🔬 #Ciencia #Océanos #Coral #Matemáticas #Ágora #AragónRadio

The #IBERetreat 2026 has started! Two days packed with #science and fun to bring the @IBE_Barcelona community together. 🧬🔬 #IBECommunity

Tara Coral 🪸🌊 @IBE_Barcelona is taking part in an international expedition to the Coral Triangle to study coral resilience to climate change. Javier del Campo’s team will investigate the coral microbiome as a possible key to their resistance. 🧬 👉ibe.upf-csic.es/home/-/asset_p…

Els coralls dormen com nosaltres, però la seva simbiosi no descansa 🪸 📕 Un equip de recerca de l’@IBE_Barcelona ha descobert que els coralls descansen a la nit tot i no tenir sistema nerviós, mentre que els seus microorganismes continuen actius. 💤 👉 ibe.upf-csic.es/news/-/asset_p…

@CSIC @UPFbiomed @the_prbb @fonamental @AMBonacolta @delCampoLab ✅ For the first time, it has been observed in situ that "sleep" helps maintain the host-microbe balance in very primitive organisms, a mechanism that could be extremely ancient in animal evolution.

@CSIC @UPFbiomed @the_prbb @fonamental @AMBonacolta 🌙 When the sun sets, corals recover from the stress accumulated during the day, caused by the intense activity of their symbiotic microorganisms. 💤 #DiscoveringLife #ConservingBiodiversity 👉doi.org/10.1016/j.chom…

Corals sleep like us, but their symbiosis does not rest🪸 📕 A research team from the @IBE_Barcelona has discovered that corals rest at night despite not having a nervous system, while their microbes remain active.🧵 #UnravellingEvolution 👉ibe.upf-csic.es/news/-/asset_p…

This project was so fun thanks to @AMBonacolta and @fonamental through the lack of sleep during those 6 hr interval dives over 3 days. Massive thank you to everyone involved, including CARMABI marine station in Curaçao, our collaborators, and @MiamiRosenstiel @cellhostmicrobe

Despite a relatively stable microbiome, we reveal that microbial co-occurrence networks shift between daytime carbohydrate catabolism and nighttime methylotrophy, indicating metabolic hand-offs across domains of life within the holobiont.

To help reduce the annotation gap of functional assignment in nonmodel organisms like corals, we supplemented our enrichment terms using protT5 protein language model to predict functions for poorly annotated proteins adding more context beyond standard homology-based pipelines.

We uncover transcriptional rhythms in coral, including dawn initiated RNA biosynthesis, midday & dusk regulation of phosphate metabolism, and midnight activation of stress and repair pathways. Breviolum displays tightly regulated cell cycling and nutrient transport oscillations.

🚨New Pub Alert🚨 We present a system-level molecular framework of natural diel regulation in the stony coral P. strigosa, integrating host & symbiodiniaceae transcriptomics with microbiome dynamics over 6hr intervals. Amazing to publish this PhD work 👉 shorturl.at/TzYEr

Happy to have contributed to the #protists section of this @erga_biodiv whitepaper 👉 From Permits to Samples: Addressing Key Challenges for High-Quality Reference Genome Generation in Europe onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…

Interested in a PhD at @ICMCSIC with me & @fonamental? We’re seeking motivated candidates for an #INPhINIT fellowship to study mesophotic coral ecosystems as thermal refuges & holobiont responses across depth gradients. Info: fundacionlacaixa.org/ca/beques-doct… #corals #bryozoans @EM_OYSTER

🔬What is sciencewashing? At the PRBB Sustainability Seminar, Javier del Campo warns about the misuse of science to gain prestige or profit and highlights the social power of the scientific community. More: tuit.cat/uvQp2

Today at the @iec, @Matteo__Agazzi gave an update on our coral reference genomes project🪸, part or the @CatBiogenoma. It was great to see what everyone is working on within the @CatBiogenoma effort! #corals #genomes

.@RocioMozoM is officially a PhD student in our lab! Her thesis project will explore the evolutionary history of Suessiales and the origin of symbiosis in the group🦠. Welcome!!🥳 #protists #corals #symbiosis

I really went politican in my last talk 😅 Thanks to @the_prbb sustainability grassroots group for the invitation! We had a great discussion! 🙌 #greenwashing #sciencewashing #softpower #diplomacy
