Yes, everyone should read Kate’s book. It’s fantastic.

Congrats 🎉👏

How Corals Without Eyes Sense Light Coral Reefs Reveal a Revolutionary Light-Sensing Mechanism Using Chloride Ions Coral reefs, often thought to be passive and simple marine organisms, harbor a sophisticated biological secret that rewrites the textbook on how animals perceive light. A…

1/ New paper in Coral Reefs compiles 7,600+ observations of coral cover across Indonesia (1994–2022). Surprisingly, they find no clear national-level decline in coral cover over nearly 30 years. 🤯 link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00338-024-02540-6

Another post-doc opportunity at the University of Queensland to work on coral reefs. This time modelling reef ecosystems in the Red Sea in collaboration with Dave Suggett at Kaust. 2.5 years and work rights in Australia. Happy to discuss. uq.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/uqcareers/jo...

Stress-Tolerant Corals May Buy Precious Time for Reefs Facing Climate Change Coral reefs, often hailed as the rainforests of the sea, face an unprecedented crisis as rising ocean temperatures driven by climate change relentlessly threaten their survival. These ecosystems, which support an…

"Upwelling...allows cold, nutrient-rich waters from the depths of the ocean to rise to the surface.... It supports highly productive fisheries & helps protect coral reefs... The finding highlights the climate's impact on fundamental oceanic processes & the coastal communities that depend on them."

This is a great way to put an end to this academic year and start my vacation 😬 Thanks, Blanca, for leading this effort! 💪 We are having a lot of fun working together, so more #bryozoan #microbiome collabs will be happening soon 😊

What can ancient corals teach us about the future? 🪸 Our new study with Markus Reuter looks back millions of years to see how reef corals responded to past climate stress. Their story may hold clues for how modern reefs will cope with today's warming oceans. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

In 2015, scientists warned what 2050 could look like. In 2025, that future has arrived. Europe is burning. Texas is flooding. Coral reefs are collapsing. This is not “the new normal.” This is the start of breakdown. Act like it. Speak like it. Before it’s too late

Predicting the effects of climate change on ecosystems starts in the lab. But are we emulating real-world conditions well? In this new study, we found that heat stress experiments on corals rarely match the conditions of real-world marine heatwaves. (1/2) www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Heard of "Darwin's paradox"? It refers to Charles Darwin's observation that coral reefs are wildly productive despite occurring in nutrient-poor tropical oceans. Reefs are, so the story goes, oases in marine deserts 🏝️... Turns out that 2/3 of these assertions are very wrong... 🌐 🦑🧪 🧵⬇️

There is still hope to save irreplaceable coral ecosystems, but time is running out. Baby corals can ride ocean currents for hundreds of miles, but they can’t outrun climate change. And humans have a limited capacity to make new reefs in cooler waters. buff.ly/nY4jJs0 #WorldOceanDay

🪸🌡 Corals cannot outrun climate change New modelling shows coral reefs are declining much faster than they can expand into cooler waters. Without urgent cuts to emissions, there will be no safe havens for corals. 🔗 doi.org/10.1126/scia... #SciComm #ClimateCrisis 🧪 #Coral

Another “spatial refuge” finally succumbs to rising sea temperatures. The hopeful narrative that isolated “heat-resistant reefs” will continue to avoid climate change (and somehow recolonise everywhere else) is wearing very thin. www.theguardian.com/environment/...
