Here I am hovering above a massive Porites individual (likely Porites lobata) we encountered during a recent survey in #Boduthiladhunmathi in #Maldives. The happiness upon meeting such enormous individuals and healthy reefs are indescribable. #coralreefs #lifebelowwater

Our perspective "Reefscape genomics: leveraging advances in 3D imaging to assess fine-scale patterns of genomic variation on coral reefs" - now online as #preprint at ecoevorxiv.org/dhvk8

new work: designing a blueprint for reef survival, so many great authors, so many important statements, e.g. "climate mitigation is essential but insufficient to conserve reefs; we need biological, ecological, socio-economic adaptation"->Fig1 bit.ly/3ee7kUG Universität Konstanz

Although these corals are visibly indistinguishable even under a microscope, they are genetically distinct, a phenomenon called cryptic diversity. They thrive at distinct depths, have different spawning times, and don't interbreed like corals typically do. popsci.com/story/science/…

Congrats to #UQ's Prof. Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, who has been ranked by Reuters as #16 of 1000 of the world's most influential climate academics! Great to see UQ researchers helping to build a better world this #EarthDay. See the full list: reut.rs/3sK0Xh7 UQ News Ove Hoegh-Guldberg

Bleaching-resistant corals are also feeling the heat! Check out this great blog by Luella Allen-Waller on our recent paper in Global Change Biology Katie Barott Penn Biology @UPennSciencePol blog: pspdg.com/blog/2021/5/11… paper: doi.org/10.1111/gcb.15…

Very excited to share our recent paper! We show that considering variance in coral cover (not just average) can better inform spatial prioritisation of coral reefs for both conservation and restoration Maria Beger Catherine Kim, PhD @[email protected] Ove Hoegh-Guldberg sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Huge congrats to Meg Nolan on this publication on incorporating habitat variance in spatial prioritisation using data from the XL Catlin Seaview Survey in #TimorLeste. Freely available for the next month: authors.elsevier.com/c/1d1uW_9CgRjbl Underwater Earth #CoralTriangle #Conservation

6) Coral reefs will become less resilient to sea level rise under the combined impacts of ocean warming and acidification, say Sophie Dove and colleagues nature.com/articles/s4324… CoralReefEcosystems Dr. Kristen Brown Aaron Chai Ove Hoegh-Guldberg UQ Science @CoralCoE

A little film I made of just a snippet of my PhD fieldwork in the Maldives 🐠 Big thanks to @angsanaihuru1 @BTVabbin

Did you know the #GreatBarrierReef’s largest research station is situated right here on #HeronIsland! 🔬 The facility is internationally renowned for coral reef research and student training in marine science. #FunFactFriday 📷: IG/matt.nitschke Visit Gladstone Queensland Australia

Spent the day with my colleague Stéphane UQ Library teaching 30+ UQ Biology Programs postgrads #R 🙌 Stéphane even put together a #blogdown website of the course content freely available - r-biol-2021.netlify.app. Great way to wrap up a WFH #lockdown week. #TGIF #RStats #WomenWhoCode

Glad the #BMCEcoEvol photo competition has been able to promote these messages: Beautiful #coralreefs still exist! But, we need to act on climate & improve water quality or we risk losing these important ecosystems BMC Series Penn Biology CoralReefEcosystems au.news.yahoo.com/photo-of-jack-…

Now accepting abstracts for our session (IS01) at ASLO Ocean Sciences on the effects of marine heatwaves on #coralreefs! It's a 'hybrid' session, w/ options to present both virtually & in person. Abstracts due Sept 15. Veronica Radice | @drradice.bsky.social ASLO #OSM22

Congratulations to past honours student Michaela for the publication of her thesis in L&O! We found that tolerance to a highly variable environment does not infer resilience to future ocean warming & acidification. #CoralReports @CoralCoE @also_org aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ln…

So happy to see my past honours student’s first ever paper published! Important results suggesting that w/ future climate change, previous exposure to high environmental variability may not benefit coral calcification #CoralReports @CoralCoE ASLO aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ln…

New paper‼️ We took #corals from naturally variable & stable habiats & exposed them to future #climatechange. We found previous exposure to variability did not benefit corals, suggesting tolerance to current variability does not equal climate resilience aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ln…

Nice coverage of our paper on reforestation and coral reefs by Aimee Gabay. Controlling sediment runoff is a promising (and very challenging) strategy for improving the health of coral reef ecosystems around the world. CoralReefEcosystems Caitie Kuempel Simon Linke 🎤🐠 Ove Hoegh-Guldberg @UQ_CBCS
