Null results are recorded as findings in their own right, with the same proof as any other contribution. The record below is an illustrative example of one.
A pre-registered tank experiment found no difference in thermal stress between colonies given a probiotic mix and controls. It tested a 2024 claim of a 30% reduction.
A three-strain probiotic reduced thermal stress in Pocillopora by 30% under +2°C heat stress.Santos et al. (2024), Frontiers in Marine Science
