Overview

Jörg Wiedenmann is affiliated with the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily intersects the fields of Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a focus on subfields including Ecology, Oceanography, Global and Planetary Change, Biotechnology, and Immunology.

The main topics covered in their work revolve around Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies, Marine and coastal plant biology, Marine and fisheries research, Marine Sponges and Natural Products, Impact of Light on Environment and Health, Aquaculture disease management and microbiota, and Ichthyology and Marine Biology.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Wiedenmann include Cecilia D'Angelo, Elena Bollati, Gavin L. Foster, María Loreto Mardones, and M. C. Buckingham.

Wiedenmann has published articles in a variety of academic journals, with repeated contributions to Coral Reefs and Nature, as well as papers appearing in Current Biology, Methods in Ecology and Evolution, and eLife. Notable papers include:

  • Reef-building corals farm and feed on their photosynthetic symbionts (2023, Nature)
  • Optical Feedback Loop Involving Dinoflagellate Symbiont and Scleractinian Host Drives Colorful Coral Bleaching (2020, Current Biology)
  • Marine artificial light at night: An empirical and technical guide (2021, Methods in Ecology and Evolution)
  • Green fluorescent protein-like pigments optimise the internal light environment in symbiotic reef-building corals (2022, eLife)
  • Impact of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) enrichment and skewed N:P stoichiometry on the skeletal formation and microstructure of symbiotic reef corals (2022, Coral Reefs)
