Thank you for Biting: Positive Interactions on Coral Reefs

Saturday, October 4 | 11:30 - 12:30 pm

100 Genetics and Plant Biology

Coral reefs are beautiful, valuable ecosystems that are being degraded by human activities. Microbes play key roles in coral health and disease. This talk by Professor Adrienne Correa shares an ongoing arc of community-engaged research in Mo’orea (French Polynesia), explores how predators spread and influence key coral microbes, and shows how these interactions could support reef resilience to warming seas.
