The 2023 marine heatwave was devastating for Caribbean reefs; in this study, we report full mortality of over 5,000 Acropora palmata colonies across a reef scale. What is worrisome is that nearly 70% of reef crests across the Caribbean faced equal or higher levels of stress doi.org/10.1016/j.is...

So happy to be featured in @tagesspiegel.de and share our work with coral reefs in @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social and MaCoBioS! @jpdolivo.bsky.social @diegokersting.bsky.social @leinre.bsky.social @mjvergotti.bsky.social @geobio.bsky.social Special thanks to Kara Mikus for this great article!

I spent a great week on Ischia last month, attendig the #PulseOcean summer school, and learning some methods to study #oceanacidification. Thanks to the organizers, @euromarine.bsky.social, and the great team of @szndohrn.bsky.social in Ischia for sharing you time and knowledge!

🌊El calor amenaza incluso a los corales más resistentes del Caribe, según un estudio con participación del #CSIC ☀️Han analizado más de un siglo de evolución de una especie de coral  💧Se ha superado el "límite térmico" para que crezcan adecuadamente 👉http://tiny.cc/193q001

New paper alert 📚🚨‼️ Reconstructing skeletal growth records from the Brazilian endemic coral Mussismilia braziliensis (1926-2015; the longest record in the SWA) reveals cross-shelf differences in local and climatic growth drivers in Abrolho’s turbid-zone reefs. authors.elsevier.com/c/1lhsm_6Cxq...

New OA paper out! We present the most accurate coral d18O-temperature equation, reconstruct coral trophic dynamics in the Med for the first time, and show #Cladocora skeletons are key archives for reconstructing anthropogenic warming and impacts. @aslo.org @dicv.csic.es doi.org/10.1002/lno....
