Holosystemics Part IX: Pathogen-Induced Skin Microbiome Responses of Seabass Fingerlings
Another journey into the microscopic world of the various niches provided by fish holobionts with an emphasis on the skin mucosal communities which are the fish’s... Read more.
Holosystemics Part VIII: Fish Holobionts, Aetiology and the Pathobiome
Our understanding of disease is evolving because many do not originate from the exploits of a primary pathogen, which do not merely interact with the host and its... Read more.
Holosystemics Part VII: Chlorophyll, Eutrophication, and Cyanotoxin-Derived Microbial Perturbations of Freshwater Fish
Whereas it may seem investigations of freshwater fish are of little use to reef enthusiasts due to oceanic and riverine disparities, the way salt- and fresh-water... Read more.
Holosystemics Part VI: Fish Microbiomes, Homeostasis, and the Holobiont
Identical processes underpin the wellbeing of the various microclimate niches (microbiomes) of organisms including corals and fish, which are economically important... Read more.
Holosystemics Part V: The Microeukaryotes of the Coral Holobiont
Investigations of the microscopic populations of reef-forming corals initially focussed on their “algal” partner and bacterial communities because of established... Read more.
Holosystemics Part IV: Dysbiosis and the Microscopic Coral Alliance
Last time we explored the prokaryotic richness and diversity of hermatypic corals, which contextualised their role in homeostasis and the stability of the host-symbiont... Read more.
Holosystemics Part III: The Prokaryotes of the Coral Holobiont
Holosystemics Part III: The Prokaryotes of the Coral Holobiont by Chris Aslett Cnidarian-nurturing wild ecosystems have declined 50 percent with further forecast... Read more.
The Zooxanthellae of the Hermatypic Coral Holobiont
Part I explored the food webs within captive reefs with reference to their micro- and macro-biota, nutrients and their management, and explained how imbalances can... Read more.
Holosystemics Part I: Captive Reef Function versus Malfunction
Additional content from Chris Aslett is available HERE. Mere survival in the nutrient-poor ecosystems peculiar to pristine wild reefs demands a profundity of nutrient... Read more.
