Paper out 🚨With Guilherme O. Longo at Pós Graduação em Ecologia - UFRN , we reviewed the last 20 years of studies on coral-algal interactions bringing global patterns and future questions in a changing world🤓 Check it out ⬇️and access the paper here➡️doi.org/10.1007/s00338…

Getting a mention on NPR's "Morning Edition" and added to GenBank today is #newspecies Sueviota aethon, the grumpy dwarfgoby from the Red Sea, described by Nunes Peinemann, Pombo-Ayora & Tornabene in ZooKeys zookeys.pensoft.net/article/121135…

Researchers built a new AI tool to sort grains of sand. Why? Partly to thwart sand bandits. In today's episode, we'll talk about the new SandAI, and the challenges of tracking grains of sand. Plus, the top science news of the week. Listen here 🎧: pod.link/73329284

New npj Ocean Sustainability paper finds tension in responsibility debates among 243 scientists working on ocean-climate innovations. Debates oscillated between protecting scientific autonomy at one extreme, & moral duty for socially just futures at the other rdcu.be/dVqLU 1/3

I'm very excited to share that the first chapter of my PhD is out 📢 If you're interested in reading about the last 40 years of research on coral-algal interactions, check out our systematic review here: 👇 taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/… If you would like the full text, message me 🪸

Angelo Villagomez kicks off today's #IMCC7 by highlighting how the wealthier nations with overseas EEZ's (legacy of colonialism) tend to favour putting large marine protected areas (MPAs) in those overseas areas rather than in their "local" waters. 1/5

Thrilled to introduce and now listen to the great Dr. Sarah Parcak! Stories of human culture, Egyptology, archeology, and using amazing technology, remote sensing and satellite imagery, to map the archaeological sites for discovery & research! Happening at KAUST

discovery.kaust.edu.sa/en/article/257… Coverage of our recent paper documenting a mass-fish kill in Saudi Arabia. Likely one of the largest single events in the Red Sea, this event occurred immediately after a very intense, heatwave! Too much 🔥🥵🌡️🔥 = many dead fish ☠️🐠🐡🐟☠️

Rising temperatures in the Red Sea are placing new stress on marine ecosystems. A KAUST study led by Dr. Matthew Tietbohl (Matt Tietbohl, PhD) with Prof. Dr. Maggie Johnson links an August 2023 marine heatwave to a mass fish mortality event along the Saudi coast, affecting at least

Check this out! Looks like a super fantastic read!! Can't wait to dive in!!

Massive bumphead parrotfish aggregation, with the fish defecating sand in near-synchrony. What a spectacle. Tubbataha, Palawan. This is a video frame grab, I have so much to edit.
