Every species needs a backup strategy when food is difficult to find. For sea anemones, Plan B is their symbiotic relationship with tiny algae living under their skin. University of California, Irvine biologists have published findings describing how anemones control this remarkable interaction. Their discovery provides new insights into ways organisms form associations that make them more successful than if they lived by themselves. The team’s research appears in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
