Coral garden conservation and restoration: how host taxon and ex-situ maintenan...
Rola, Marcellina; Coelho, Márcio A. G.; Pruckner, Christian; Quiroga-Pérez, Manuela; Stock, Willem; Baylina, Núria; Engelen, Aschwin; Wägele, HeikeTemperate coral gardens are dense coral formations, which support rich marine species diversity, enabling benthic-pelagic coupling. Over the past decades, coral gardens have been increasingly threatened by bottom fishing, oil and gas exploitation, and climate change. Microbiome research bears great potential for assisted resilience in targeted conservation and restoration approaches. Yet, fundamental parameters...
Marine forests forever—A necessary multilateral program for a fair future
Horta, Paulo; Sissini, Marina N.; Fonseca, Alessandra; Turra, Alexander; Rodrigues, Ana Claudia; Rorig, Leonardo; Bonomi‐Barufi, José; Pagliosa, PauloNot only advances but also old addictions, setbacks, obstructions and delays are observed during COP16 (on biodiversity), COP29 (on climate change) and G20 in a year full of tragedies resulting from climate change; we need to look in the rearview mirror and plan new paths to be presented and discussed at COP30, in 2025, in the Brazilian Amazon. Worldwide temperature records show that 2023 and 2024 were the warm...
Draft genome of the marine bacterium alteromonas gracilis strain J4 isolated fr...
van Duijnhoven, Julia; Dombrowski, Nina; Kuperus, Peter; Aires, Tania; Coelho, Márcio A. G.; Silva, João; Muyzer, Gerard; Engelen, AschwinHere, we present the draft genome sequence of Alteromonas gracilis strain J4, isolated from the green macroalga Caulerpa prolifera. The draft genome is 4,492,914 bp in size and contains 4,719 coding DNA sequences, 67 tRNAs, and 16 rRNA-coding genes. Strain J4 may exhibit host growth-promoting properties.

Miranda, Lucília S.; Tavares, Sílvia; Dos Santos, Antonina; Gonçalves, Emanuel J.; Serrão, Ester A.; Coelho, Márcio A. G.Citizen science online platforms are increasingly making important sources of biological information available at the click of a button, allowing the interaction of volunteers and scientists to report and identify the world’s diversity. In this work, we combined the data available in citizen science platforms (iNaturalist and GelAvista) and the efort and collaboration of a diverse team of scuba-divers,· scienti...
Complete mitochondrial genome of the branching octocoral Paramuricea grayi (Joh...
Coelho, Márcio A. G.; Ledoux, Jean-Baptiste; Boavida, Joana; Paulo, Diogo; Gómez-Gras, Daniel; Bensoussan, Nathaniel; López-Sendino, PaulaThe Gray’s sea fan, Paramuricea grayi (Johnson, 1861), typically inhabits deep littoral and circalittoral habitats of the eastern temperate and tropical Atlantic Ocean. Along the Iberian Peninsula, where P. grayi is a dominant constituent of circalittoral coral gardens, two segregating lineages (yellow and purple morphotypes) were recently identified using single-copy nuclear orthologues. The mitochondrial geno...
