Marine ecosystems are experiencing unprecedented stress due to climate change and anthropogenic activities, leading to profound shifts in the ecology of marine host-microbe symbioses. Understanding the intricate relationships between marine organisms and their microbial symbionts offers critical insights into enhancing the resilience of these vulnerable and foundational ecosystems.
The Trends in Marine Host-Microbe Symbioses Symposium aims to catalyze discussions on the latest conceptual frameworks and technological approaches for studying these complex interactions. Central themes will include fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and encouraging open data sharing across research groups to expedite scientific progress.
The symposium will also spotlight the pressing need for microbiome stewardship and the implementation of actionable, science-driven strategies to mitigate climate change impacts and preserve biodiversity.
