Microbiome Dynamics in Early Life Stages of the Precious Mediterranean Red Coral <span> <i>Corallium rubrum</i> </span> Open
Microbial colonisation in the early life stages of corals plays a critical role in their fitness, but the mechanisms by which microbial symbionts are acquired—whether from parental colonies, the environment, or both—remain poorly understoo…
