The uneven globe highlights where the planet is warming fastest. Elevation represents magnitude of warming. A powerful visual showing the disproportionate effect of #climatechange on the #Arctic. Map by Greg Fiske: woodwellclimate.org/research-area/… More here: phys.org/news/2018-11-l…

Did you know that, after adjusting for inflation, the U.S. experienced more than twice the number of billion-dollar weather and climate disasters during the 2010s than the 2000s. climate.gov/news-features/…

My favourite Australian animals, the flying foxes, are among the most mobile mammals in the world. Comparable to most migratory birds! "colonies...are better viewed as a network of staging posts, or hostels" bbc.com/news/av/world-…

A full mapping -- down to 1 cm in size -- of the areas that can retain water ice on the Moon shows that "micro cold traps" are the most numerous. In total, ~40,000 km2 of the lunar surface can hold water. Hayne et al.: nature.com/articles/s4155…

Saddened but not surprised. Tiger sharks have declined by 74% on Australia's east coast over the last 5 decades. This should not be allowed. au.news.yahoo.com/selfish-stupid…

This is what the northern tip of #LizardIsland looked like 10 days ago. Corals had a chance to grow over the last few years. BUT, those pretty fluorescent colours indicate heat-stress. Unless water temps drop, these corals could bleach and disappear again @CoralCoE James Cook Uni LIRRF

Thrilled to have been involved with a brilliant analysis by Liam Lachs et al. to better understand the optimal heat stress metrics needed for reliably predicting mass coral bleaching events.

Our new paper pharmacologically demonstrates that GABA-A-like receptors and other ligand-gated chloride channels may underlie elevated CO2-induced behavioural alterations in squid.

🚨New Paper Alert!🚨 In our latest work, we found that consort bigfin reef squid males (1) can be very flamboyant, and (2) probe locations before females lay their eggs. But why? And what does that mean biologically? Read on! Dr. Sam Cheng Ecology esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…
