The Tara Pacific program involved a two-year continuous scientific expedition at sea to reveal new facets of coral reef biodiversity in the Pacific Ocean. This Collection highlights research published from this ambitious project. go.nature.com/42j0Dbb

1/9 new works: 7 years ago we embarked to describe biodiversity of Pacific coral reefs w/ Tara Oceans Scientific using standardized sampling: 100,000km sailing, 3,000 dives, 50,000samples. Today we are happy to announce first outcomes, summary: nature.com/articles/s4146… Universität Konstanz

2/9 feels like releasing an entire music album, instead of singles, but rest assured all songs are singles :) .. Mbase-scale coral genome assemblies reveal pervasive gene duplications driving their evolution Genome Biology genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… @BeNoel7 Jean-Marc Aury SeqLab Genoscope

3/9 16S sequencing of Pacific reef biomes approximates the current estimated total prokaryotic diversity for the entire Earth😮; for the nerds: 542,399 ASVs from 5,392 samples across 32 islands, comprising 2.87 billion sequences nature.com/articles/s4146… Pierre Galand Observatoire Océanologique de Banyuls-sur-Mer

4/9 Endozoicomonadaceae lovers, 16S and MetaG reveals global and host specific associations & functions nature.com/articles/s4146… Corentin Hochart, Pierre Galand Observatoire Océanologique de Banyuls-sur-Mer

5/9 “paleovirology”: pervasive ancient viruses (EVEs) in Symbiodiniaceae with implications for holobiont biology nature.com/articles/s4200… Vega Thurber Lab @CorreaLab

6/9 title says it all "Host transcriptomic plasticity and photosymbiotic fidelity underpin Pocillopora acclimatization across thermal regimes in the Pacific Ocean" massive effort, cool findings nature.com/articles/s4146… kudos to Eric Armstrong Julie LHG @QuentinCarradec SeqLab Genoscope

7/9 not quite out "Disparate genetic divergence patterns across pan-Pacific environmental gradient highlight coral-specific adaptation trajectories", OR each reef is unique biorxiv.org/content/10.110… kudos to Didier Forcioli/Ben Hume, textbook effort to resolve lineages & do popgen

8/9 one of my favs: longevity-dependent environmental regulation of telomere DNA maintenance in coral .. say what!? nature.com/articles/s4146… Alice Rouan Eric Gilson IRCAN

9/9 all data #OpenAccess doi.org/10.1038/s41597… Caroline Belser doi.org/10.1038/s41597… fabien lombard also check zenodo.org/communities/ta… Universität Konstanz

10/9 kudos to so many people & institutes around the world, wonderful memories & so happy to see effort paying off campus.uni-konstanz.de/en/science/the… .. lets not forget many of the reefs we may never see again #ActNow

Quelle méthodologie d’échantillonnage ? Quel cadre de production de données ? #TaraPacific What of #TaraPacific sampling methodology & data generation framework ? Article Scientific Data par fabien lombard & co rdcu.be/ddxwu

Hier c'était la journée de mobilisation du Thalassa: le materiel de recherche est arrivé à bon port, maintenant place au rangement! Le navire Thalassa est sur le départ... ⌛️🚢

Just before getting at sea for 6 weeks, here comes a new publication establishing a review on appendicularians/larvaceans role in trophic transfer and carbon fluxes. Congratulations to Conny Jaspers to have conducted this wonderful work sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This is how the sea surface temperatures look right now. 🟥 = Warmer than average 🟦 = Cooler than average Records are being broken every day.

A bord du Pourquoi Pas ? 🚢 | Dernièrement, la Rosette CTD a été accueillie par une mer d'huile! C'est un calme qui ne va pas durer... à bord des navires on se prépare aux forts vents qui vont animer le nord de l'océan Atlantique dans les jours à venir! 📸 fabien lombard

A bord du Pourquoi Pas? 🚢 | Les diatomées font leur retour dans les échantillons du Phytonet! Imagerie du microplancton grâce à 3 types de microscopes : inversé, planktoscope et microscope curiosity ! 🔬 PlanktonPlanet @MIOceanologie LABO LOV 📸 fabien lombard

Excited to dispatch many #planktoscope units to fabien lombard at IMEV-Institut de la Mer de Villefranche. They'll fuel diverse projects at renowned institutions like #Bougainville Sorbonne Université EMBLtrec @TaraOceans_ PlanktonPlanet. Keep an eye out for a wave of captivating plankton imagery soon!
