🪸 New preprint from the lab, right on time: today Aimar Ardanaz-Ullate presents it at #9ISDSC in Barcelona. His first paper as first author at @ibe-barcelona.bsky.social: the first microbiome survey of four cold-water corals from Cabliers, a near-pristine reef in the Alboran Sea 🧵

The 9ISDSC 2026 brings together nearly 250 participants from 30 countries at the University of Barcelona!

An incredible opportunity to share knowledge, discoveries, and experiences about deep-sea coral ecosystems.
