Adam T. Downie & co expose clownfish embryos to UV radiation (UVR) corresponding to water depths reflective of their settlement, mimicking what could happen in a future coral reef with fewer structures shielding against UVR. 🐟

Interesting new study on lateral line system of deep sea chimaeras. So much we don't know about these bizarre animals. Happy to have helped with creating the figures for this cool and important research

Due to limited reached, I've moved to Blue Sky.
Follow for all things coral reef fish eco-physiology and marine dispersal.
Will post a few recent publications this year on Blue Sky that I haven't posted here (nor will I).

Increasing land drying & drought will threaten water-sensitive species such as frogs 🐸. We examine the potential exposure risk under different warming scenarios | nature.com/articles/s41558-0… | @NatureClimate

Like healthy coral reefs in the South China Sea (🙂) but dislike Crown-of-Thorns starfish (#COTS ☹️) outbreaks? Peiris et al. used #eDNA metabarcoding to audit coral communities before and after their population expansion, published in @SpringerCORE.

PROOF OF CONCEPT STUDY: Downie et al. found that combining "Tree of Life" #metabarcoding biodiversity data with water quality indexes can be an effective means to assess estuarine condition.

In this study, published in #MarinePollutionBulletin, we compared #eDNA detections in the urbanized Gold Coast Broadwater Estuary to a common water quality index (WQI). Species diversity and composition correlated with lower WQI for some, but not all, taxonomic subgroups.

Thanks to @AdamDownUnder for leading the charge on the data analysis and visualisation in this published work🙏.

Using ToL-metabarcoding, we also added 137 new biodiversity records to the region, mostly microorganisms such as bacteria, ciliates, diatoms, dinoflagellates, and cryptomonads, noting that these may be the result of incomplete historical records for these microscopic organisms.

🔥🌊A new JCU study has revealed mangrove habitats may serve as temporary sanctuaries for stingrays, but scientists fear the ‘saunas’ could become too hot to handle with climate change accelerating. @physiologyfish @Bouyoucos
