Scientific semantics aside, why does this matter? It matters because reefs clearly depend much more on their surrounding oceans than commonly assumed. As we alter not just reefs themselves, but also broader dynamics like nutrients, currents, and plankton blooms, reefs will have to cope with both.

Our new paper on the historical and scientific basis of Darwin’s ‘coral reef paradox’ is out @currentbiology.bsky.social! Summary below by @gobyone.bsky.social. Also with @paulinenarvaez.bsky.social @oclaripv.bsky.social and Vale Parravicini! Free-access link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lDFm3QW8S...

Great to see the incredible work happening in the #Biocean5Dproject! Bringing together disciplines, diverse organisms, and countries is advancing our understanding of ocean #biodiversity and functioning. With the SETE-CNRS team: @paulinenarvaez.bsky.social, Jose Montoya, Alexandre Génin & F.Rincon

I mentioned previously that we are hiring a joint AIMS/UWA postdoc. I'm happy to say the advert for a *second* position (UWA & Minderoo) is active: external.jobs.uwa.edu.au/cw/en/job/51... Looking for someone with expertise in fisheries models to work on spillovers from marine parks. Please share!

🌊 How does climate change reshape sponge microbiomes? How effective are cleaner fish in controlling parasites? Last week, @paulinenarvaez.bsky.social from BIOcean5 shared fascinating insights into sponge responses to warming & the ecology of cleaners! See an ex doi.org/10.1007/s00227-021-03858-3

A starter pack for people studying how human affect biodiversity and ecosystem functioning at global scale, across terrestrial and marine realms & conservation challenges. Sounds like Global Ecology ! sure I missed many people, reply to be added, and share to spread ! go.bsky.app/V6tN4cv 🧪🌍🦤🦑🪴
