🚨 our August issue is now live! buff.ly/HzYBKQL 🪸 it includes papers from our latest cross-journal Special Feature, "Marine Heatwaves". You can read the full list of papers in the feature, including papers from @funecology.bsky.social & @journalofecology.bsky.social, here: buff.ly/qXHEMjS

In this SF, published across the @animalecology.bsky.social, @journalofecology.bsky.social y.social and @funecology.bsky.social we present a collection of 13 studies that address some of the most pressing knowledge gaps in MHW ecology. 🌊🔥👇 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1...

Tras hablar del impacto de los incendios submarinos, hoy viajamos con @danigomezgras.bsky.social a mares más lejanos🌊, para visitar impresionantes arrecifes tropicales y conocer la amenaza del blanqueamiento de corales, que pone en riesgo su supervivencia 🌡️ ecomandanga.wordpress.com/2025/07/28/o...

My research stay at @biologiaub.bsky.social is over and I could not be more satisfied and grateful for these 5 months. Thanks to the great mentorship of @danigomezgras.bsky.social and @cristinalinares.bsky.social, and the warm welcome of @medrecover.bsky.social's team. Fins a la pròxima, Barna!

¿Has oído alguna vez hablar de los #incendios submarinos?🔥🌊 Hoy, @danigomezgras.bsky.social de @medrecover.bsky.social nos explica las consecuencias ecológicas y el impacto de este fenómeno, cada vez más intenso y frecuente, en los corales mediterráneos 🌡️ ecomandanga.wordpress.com/2025/07/23/i...

Comenzamos este taller sobre el coralígeno recordando a Kike Ballesteros y su gran labor en el estudio de este ecosistema emblemático. Su trabajo siempre será una inspiración para todos.

🧵Can marine restoration lead to ecological recovery? 🌊Success is often assessed by short-term survival of transplants, but what about long-term changes in community (trait) composition? We studied this for a key Mediterranean octocoral. 👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Summertime marine heatwaves (MHWs) in 2023/2024 were unprecedented and had wide-ranging biological, physical and societal impacts. Need to develop better response plans and adaptation/intervention approaches as MHWs intensify under climate change. New ms in Nat CC: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Excited to be attending the thesis dissertation of @cgalobart.bsky.social!! She did a great job exploring macroalgal forest restoration techniques and their success! 🌿🪸 @medrecover.bsky.social @marineforests.bsky.social

Professional update: I am now a visiting PhD student within @medrecover.bsky.social research group at Universidad de Barcelona @ub.edu Thanks to Prof. Cristina Linares, @danigomezgras.bsky.social, & @polcapdevila.bsky.social who believed in my proposal and all lab members for their warm welcome! /2🧵

Our last article on Vulnerability of benthic trait diversity across the Mediterranean Sea following mass mortality events is out in @NatureComms ! 🪸🌱🐚🌡️🌊 A thread 👇🧵 nature.com/articles/s41...

Paper alert! 🚨 We provide a first characterization of upper mesophotic coral assemblages in Santo Antão, Cabo Verde (Atlantic Ocean). 👇 authors.elsevier.com/a/1kbenI7ED3...

Exciting news! I’m thrilled to share that my MSCA Marie Curie postdoc proposal has been granted! I’ll be joining the macroscopelab.com at MARE/ @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social to study the functional vulnerability of global coral fauna. Looking forward to this new chapter!

FULLY FUNDED PHD on using #AI to explore the effects of global change on ecological functions of biological colour. Only 6 days left to apply! www.exageo.org/apply/ With me, Chris Cooney (Sheff Uni) @chris-nemeth.bsky.social & David Roy (UKCEH) based at @lec-reefs.bsky.social @dsilu.bsky.social

👀¡No te pierdas el semanario del ciclo de @biodiversosurjc.bsky.social de esta semana! Por @danigomezgras.bsky.social  🪸“Corals on the edge! Integrating approaches to explore coral ecosystem’s vulnerability to global change” 🗓️31 de enero  ⏰12:00 📍Salón de grados Departamental II (URJC Móstoles)

Since 2016, the Coral Trait Database (www.coraltraits.org) has contributed to the advancement of coral reef science globally. However, data on #octocorals —key components of many coral ecosystems— was missing... until NOW. 🎉 The Octocoral Trait Database is here! 👇 rdcu.be/d6qpy

🌊 Just wrapped up an amazing trip to Santo Antão, Cabo Verde! 🌴 Our team explored the island's vibrant marine ecosystems to assess coral biodiversity 🪸 #MarineBiology #CaboVerde #Corals #Biodiversity #ProjectCOAST

Is your research centered on the impacts of #GlobalChange on #MarineBiodiversity?🌊 Join us in Pontevedra, Spain, for the III SIBECOL & XVII AEET meeting #AEETSIBECOL2025 (www.sibecol-aeet-meeting2025.org) and present your findings & ideas in session TS(2)2! More details below👇
