So happy to share my #PhD experiment 👩🏽🔬conducted at the @LeibnizZMT on competition 🥊 between hard 🪨 and soft 🪶 corals under #eutrophication and #acidification! Some 🪨 responses are mitigated under these conditions, but 🪶 are consistently benefited and damage hard corals 🪸👇🏽

Delighted to have my 2nd PhD research published 3 weeks before my thesis defense! 📗Finding out how mining pollution (iron) affects corals’ interactions 🪸open access paper! ‼️

🚨New paper on the impacts of iron enrichment [aka pollution from mining disaster] impacts coral competition🪸! Some corals do fine,but others showed necrosis in their tissue 😟Paper from @acmgrillo PhD at @PPGECOUFRN in a collab with @Coral_Vivo Check it👇doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.202…

Time to check coral battles in detail! 🔍 🥊 Is Acropora 🪸crushing Clavularia 🪶or the other way round? Or maybe they’re trying to find peace 🏳️? Let’s see what happens while I’m experimenting at @JCUOIRS 🌊

🚨 Interesting observation coming out from @acmgrillo PhD @PPGECOUFRN showing that corals 🪸 can release larvae when in contact competition with zoanthids!😲
It happened in one of her experiments (link🧶), showing the power of observation!💪Check it out👇

My first PhD chapter officially out! Investigating🕵️♀️ competitive 🤼♀️ interactions with corals 🪸in 🇧🇷@MarineEcoBR @PPGECOUFRN They get harmed when touched 🤲🏽 by macroalgae and zoanthids and might not recover 🤕 🌊

🚨The first paper from @acmgrillo PhD @PPGECOUFRN & @jcu is out @SpringerCORE showing that macroalgae and zoanthids require physical contact🥊 to harm corals 🪸 in the SW Atlantic 🇧🇷! 🎶u can't touch this🔥🎶 Collab with @edsonvfmar 💪

Brazilian subtropics too bear a high living coral cover 🇧🇷 🌊 New paper shows this incredible coralline abundance surrounding a tiny island near São Paulo! 🤿 Check it out

How about diving on a reef with 40-50% coral cover? What if this much coral is at a marginal rocky reef? New paper by @acmgrillo PhD student @PPGECOUFRN @MarineEcoBR is out showing where you can find this place! 🇧🇷 Check it out 👇🤿 😲 link.springer.com/article/10…
