Brief description
Given the critical role of microbes in host health, understanding microbial contribution to transgenerational plasticity is essential for generating realistic predictions of coral reef responses to future climate. Through a 4-year multigenerational experiment, the microbial dynamics in the tropical sea urchin Echinometra sp. A were explored under temperature and pCO2 levels predicted for years 2050 and 2100 (RCP 8.5).Publication of this study:
