🎓PhD thesis opportunity: "Socio-ecological trajectories of MPAs: an integrated approach based on the Nature Futures Framework", under the supervision of Rodolphe Devillers, Rachel Bitoun, and myself, in Montpellier, France - ideal start date: October 1st 2026. emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/Docto...

Studying 2,800 tropical reefs, the authors of this study show that marine protected areas have compensated for only a small portion of human impacts on fish contributions to people and nature, particularly in terms of biomass and biodiversity 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨New Paper ! 🚨 Glad to see my second thesis chapter finally published in @natecoevo.nature.com ! 🎉Marine protected areas marginally offset anthropogenic declines in tropical reef fish contributions to nature and people🎉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... @umontpellier.bsky.social

Spatial Insurance of Distinct Ecological Functions out in EcoLett Nov issue Communities can disproportionately insure (functional sources) or depend on (functional sinks) neighbour communities, a dual relationship not captured by metrics of functional beta diversity doi.org/10.1111/ele.... 🌐🌍🦤🧪

Spatial Insurance of Distinct Ecological Functions Communities can act as functional sources and sustain rare ecological roles across space. We reveal patterns of functional vulnerability for plants and birds Check out our Perspective in Ecol Lett 👉 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🌐🌍🦤🪴🍁🧪

🐟 A massive effort by @loic-patanegra-scz.bsky.social, who compiled eDNA from across the globe, expanding our understanding of where fish live.

🐡 Paper alert 🐡 by @conorwaldock.bsky.social Mismatches and trade-offs exist between the nutrients potentially available in fishes and those caught. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🐡 Paper alert 🐡 A lack of crucial data prevents assessment of IUCN ExtinctionRisk for most species of Marine fish. We used machine learning to infer a 12.8% extinction risk for marine fish species, surpassing existing estimates plos.io/4dXJh9O

Our last publication in Science Advances shows that the reef fishes most at risk of extinction are receiving less scientific and public attention. Let’s balance our focus to protect all marine life ! #Biodiversity #Conservation #ReefFishes #Equity www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪🌍🦤🦑

We are opening our call for Biodiversity Synthesis projects at #CESAB in the beautiful, Montpellier 🌈, France Up to 4 groups will be funded for 3 years: 5 (1 week) meetings + 24 mth postdocs ! Generic synthesis: bit.ly/4aC3fW6 Thematic synthesis: bit.ly/4aeEMq2 Please like and share, thx. 🧪🌍🦤🦑

40% of reef fishes not benefit from Marine Protected Areas ! top predators benefit the most, but rare large herbivores experience negative effects. Clearly illustrates how trophic structure is not well accounted for by current MPAs. L. Sanchez et al in Ecology Letters doi.org/10.1111/ele.... 🧪🌍🦑
