Open AccessDisentangling direct vs indirect effects of microbiome manipulations in a habitat-forming marine holobiont
Host-associated microbiota are critical for eukaryotic host functioning, to the extent that hosts and their associated microbial communities are often considered “holobionts”. Most studies of holobionts have f...

Open AccessThe value of ecosystem services in global marine kelp forests
While marine kelp forests have provided valuable ecosystem services for millennia, the global ecological and economic value of those services is largely unresolved. Kelp forests are diminishing in many regions...

Open AccessGenomic, metabolic and phenotypic variability shapes ecological differentiation and intraspecies interactions of Alteromonas macleodii
Ecological differentiation between strains of bacterial species is shaped by genomic and metabolic variability. However, connecting genotypes to ecological niches remains a major challenge. Here, we linked bac...

Natural and Regenerated Saltmarshes Exhibit Similar Soil and Belowground Organic Carbon Stocks, Root Production and Soil Respiration
Saltmarshes provide many valuable ecosystem services including storage of a large amount of ‘blue carbon’ within their soils. To date, up to 50% of the world’s saltmarshes have been lost or severely degraded p...

A horizon scan of priorities for coastal marine microbiome research
Research into the microbiomes of natural environments is changing the way ecologists and evolutionary biologists view the importance of microorganisms in ecosystem function. This is particularly relevant in oc...

Open AccessCoastal urbanisation affects microbial communities on a dominant marine holobiont
Host-associated microbial communities play a fundamental role in the life of eukaryotic hosts. It is increasingly argued that hosts and their microbiota must be studied together as 'holobionts' to better under...

Effects of the receiving assemblage and disturbance on the colonisation of an invasive species
While the consequences of bioinvasions are becoming clearer, our understanding of the environmental and ecological factors driving them is limited due to the complexity of the invasion process. Invasion succes...

Community-level impacts of the invasive isopod Cirolana harfordi
The invasive isopod Cirolana harfordi occurs in great densities in oyster-beds in Sydney Harbour and is the second most abundant taxon in terms of biomass. A previous observational study did not find any relation...
