Warming Seawater Temperature and Nutrient Depletion Alters Microbial Community Composition on a Foundational Canopy Kelp Species Microbiome composition on the canopy kelp Nereocystis luetkeana in the northeast Pacific Ocean is affected by warming temperatures and nitrogen limitation. Following experimental manipulation of temp...

✨ New paper alert! ✨ We found that the #kelp #microbiome is disrupted in a warming ocean! 🌊🌡️ #Temperature had a larger effect than #nitrogen. Thanks to lead author Nichos Molnar, Robin Fales @intertidaleco.bsky.social & Cathy Pfister! enviromicro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Feels weird posting this given the federal terminations this week, but I'm giving a talk at Aquaculture 2025 on Friday 3/7 at 3:30 in Studio 8. If you're interested in the potential for forecasting oyster physiology on a super fine scale, or better monitoring thermal risk, come to this talk!
