Extremely proud of Ana Carolina Grillo who rocked her tropical science during the winter Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT)! 💪🤓A lab experiment 🧪 🪸 has many challenges but she crushed them all!💪Great experience for her ongoing #PhD Marine Ecology Lab UFRN | Brazil Pós Graduação em Ecologia - UFRN! Stay tuned to know more about her findings ! 🤓👇

How #tidepool #corals deal with environmental variability? In this collab led by @thaynajm and Guilherme O. Longo, #coralhealth wasn't affected by sand burial but rather by thermal stress, with #endfosymbiont changes potentially leading to #coralrecovery. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Excellent work! Not surprising, but an incredible compilation about representation, or the lack of it, in Ecology and Evolution Science!

While preparing a talk about history of #ecology , I wondered about #genderrepresentation among the presidents of Ecological Society. No question they're great male researchers, but no wonder why Ecology is biased. It's getting better, but we still need more women leading science!

Interessades é só falar comigo!

🚨Can we use #AI to detect and identify #corals in pictures posted by citizen scientists in social media? YES! 💪Our #DeOlhoNosCorais dataset is out on PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment in a Brazilian collab between Marine Ecology Lab UFRN | Brazil UFRN Pós Graduação em Ecologia - UFRN and UFPR 🇧🇷 Check it out👇 peerj.com/articles/16219/

New paper out 🚨 showing that joining #AI and #citizenscience result in a new way to monitor our corals 🤓 The new article is a #collab between Marine Ecology Lab UFRN | Brazil UFRN Pós Graduação em Ecologia - UFRN and UFPR on PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment 😁

#AI and #citizenscience can together help #conservation! In a new paper out on PeerJ - the Journal of Life & Environment, collab with Marine Ecology Lab UFRN | Brazil UFRN Pós Graduação em Ecologia - UFRN and UFPR, we show how #corals can be detected in pictures posted by #citizenscientists on #socialmedia Check it out! 👉peerj.com/articles/16219/

🚨The first paper from Ana Carolina Grillo PhD Pós Graduação em Ecologia - UFRN & James Cook Uni is out Springer Coral Reefs showing that macroalgae and zoanthids require physical contact🥊 to harm corals 🪸 in the SW Atlantic 🇧🇷! 🎶u can't touch this🔥🎶 Collab with Edson Vieira 💪 Check it out 👇 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Probiotics and other microbial therapies can help retain good bacteria, prevent pathogen overtake and restore microbial communities to protect threatened biodiversity and ecosystems. More at Trends in Microbiology and KAUST Research. Way to go Neus Garcias-Bonet and team!

🚨Notícia triste, mas um alerta importantíssimo trazido pela Sônia Bridi no Fantástico de hoje 📺 A perda de corais 🪸 é silenciosa, mas está ocorrendo diante dos nossos olhos. Não só na Austrália ou no Caribe, mas no nordeste do Brasil 🇧🇷👇

Através da rede de monitoramento do Projeto Coral Vivo contribuímos para o alerta de branqueamento de corais no Fantástico de hoje, com a sensibilidade e clareza de Sônia Bridi 📺 Reportagem no link 👇

Our star Carol Pacheco is in Italy 🇮🇹 🤌 for the ECRS 2024 showing her work as a PhD student Pós Graduação em Ecologia - UFRN 🇧🇷💪 If you are at #ECRS2024 go find her to know more about how corals deal with a 5°C temperature fluctuation in Brazil! 🔥😲 Have fun, Carol! 🙌😊

🚨Here is our new international colab on ocean temperature variation! 🌊🌡️Check it out PNAS Nexus with great team! 💪Ocean weather, biological rates, and unexplained global ecological patterns academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/arti… #brazilonthemap 🇧🇷

We need diversity to understand biodiversity

🚨New paper from Thayna Mello´s PhD Pós Graduação em Ecologia - UFRN is out finding sewage, nutrient enrichment & microplastics impacting reefs—even in no-take zones of Fernando de Noronha🇧🇷Local actions including sewage treatment are critical!💩🚫🪸🐟👇sciencedirect.com/science/articl… CNPq

🎯 The magic number? The more the merrier! When grassroots 🌱 + government 🏛️ + science 🔬 + business 💼 work together, nature AND society win! Latest evidence from the ipbes #TransformativeChange Assessment: ipbes.net/transformative…

🌊🌡️🪸 Check our recent paper on Communications Earth & Environment showing how severe was the 2020 #marineheatwave in Southwestern Atlantic and its unprecedented #coralbleaching effects!

Some #corals may resist to extreme #thermal events in #marginalreefs. This seems to be the case of Montastraea cavernosa in a Southwestern Atlantic reef along 2013-2019. Check it in a recent paper at MERE with Guilherme O. Longo Marine Ecology Lab UFRN | Brazil PELD - ILOC 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.mare…
