Nature Article published on ‘Coral Photosymbiosis on Mid-Devonian Reefs’
Read the recent Nature publication on the discovery of photosymbiosis in ancient corals, by Jonathan Jung who presented his findings at the 2nd SPP 2299 Topical Meeting in September 2024. This article was led by SPP 2299 researchers from MPI for Chemistry in Mainz.
