Wow! great data; I wonder if you will see flow on effect to reef communities...

The @gbrmarinepark along with @aims_gov_au and @csiro released the Reef snapshot 2021-22, which provides a summary of how the #Reef has fared over the past summer, what this means for coral and the actions being taken to help #coralhealth. Learn more: bit.ly/3wdKohD.

The much-anticipated map of the aerial surveys conducted by @aims_gov_au and @gbrmarinepark during the 2022 mass #coral #bleaching is finally out.
Reefs with no bleaching are in 🔵

Well done to Bridie and all those keen early career researchers you are fostering. Science that makes a difference.

Over the past few months, I've had 4 students submit their MSc theses. They've been drilling down on the effects of #microplastic ingestion on behavior, metabolism, gut morphology, oxidative damage and neurophysiology. I'm so proud of them & can't wait to see where they go next!

The search for the 'truth' of ocean acification effects on fishes backfires as effect size meta-analyses are misused doi.org/10.1101/2022.04.11.4…

We're very proud of this one. It involves some very complex field manipulations of interactions between a generalist and specialist on a coral reef. How important is it to arrive first when the quality of the habitat is degrading? rdcu.be/cGWOu

The UK Prime Minister has spoken to Scott Morrison to "emphasise the importance of setting ambitious targets to cut emissions and reach net zero". Boris Johnson told the PM that driving economic growth and reducing emissions can go hand-in-hand. @smh

New paper alert! In CA killifish & its brain #parasite, we show that energetic impacts of parasites may arise BEFORE infection, as fish metabolic rate👆more in response to parasites in environment than on the brain besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi… @FunEcology @Scripps_Ocean @RyanHechinger

A #reproducibilitycrisis is inevitable in #science if no attempts are made to accurately replicate previous work & acknowledge vital evidence. Communication among groups is required for science to advance especially when conflicting results are obtained

1/5 In Jan a @nature article surprisingly claimed to overturn >80 studies in #oceanacidification research were not repeatable. Can one study claim to overturn 11 years of research? @MartinGrosell @RachaelHeuer @timothyISBL @ravasi_lab @MarkMeekan @MarkIMcCormick @Goran_E_Nilsson

Naively, I thought this was what science was about. Collaboration, conversation, professional respect. Am I wrong?
The best time to argue about what a replication means? Before you do it. Perhaps an intervention is needed in the OA behavior debate where a collaborative process will help resolve more amicably? For better science? nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Exciting new paper showing just how complex it will be to try and predict the effects of warming on fish community dynamics

Elevated #temperatures reduce survival of a common fish #ectoparasite on both the #GBR and in the #Philippines
New paper out today, led by @MaryShodipo with myself, Berilin Duong, @cleanerfish, and @PSikkel in Oceans @MDPIOpenAccess

This is not what a #CoralReef should look like - #CoralBleaching has devastated large areas of #Taiwan with the majority in the southern islands. We are here to monitor the recovery over the next 10 months to further understand the consequences of such events #ClimateChange

It has been a bad week for marine biology, we lost three of our best: one the fathers in ecology, Joe Connell, and legends Dave Williams and Peter Fairweather. The world is a duller place without you! @CoralCoE

Some of the exciting work from @TiffanyJNay PhD showing fish will compromise their preferred temperature to associate with complex habitat in cooler, but not warmer, water. @CoralCoE @jcu
