Since 2015, I spent>280 nights snorkeling to build a reproduction calendar of corals &other animals in the Red Sea.
In addition to the discovery that coral spawning synchrony was off, this massive effort allowed me to witness some nocturnal mysteries🕵️🧐🦀

Are corals really non-aging organisms?🤔
New study by Rapuano, @TomShlesinger et al. challenges the notion that colony size determines coral reproductive effort

Glad to see my study in this month's issue of @ESABulletin
This is a lighter version of our study - with an emphasis on great #photography & descriptions
Using @TomShlesinger's brilliant talent we hope to communicate our findings to a wider audience👇

An Atlantic goliath grouper—800 pounds and about the size of a refrigerator—calmly swims through a swirling school of scads off the coast of Florida. See the full @bigpicturecomp gallery: bit.ly/3MxwVHD 📷 @TomShlesinger
Check out the absolutely stunning winners of this year's @bigpicturecomp! Such amazing images this year, my favorite is this endangered Goliath Grouper by Tom Shlesinger. More information here: biographic.com/the-big-pictu…

We had a wonderful evening at the @IsraelAcademy celebrating Yossi's life's work - 5 DECADES of coral reef research in the Red Sea!
We are grateful for all who came, spoke, and blessed Yossi on his Birthday.

Thank you Inga for the photos.
new work @GlobalChangeBio Coral-bleaching responses across biol. scales, product of 3rd @CoralBleachRCN. Call to linking information across scientific disciplines & spatial/temporal scales & conserve reefs through 'mesoscale sanctuaries'. bit.ly/3LoAdwS@UniKonstanz
Next generation underwater cameras will be lidar-integrated, w/ real-time color reconstruction capabilities & enable better navigation for robotic missions.
In 10 mins, watch our recent work demonstrating how:
