Amazing work led by @AmalBajaffer is now available. The new bible for navigating eDNA’s trickiest pitfalls. We tackle false positives & negatives head‑on, from sampling to bioinformatics. A must read for your eDNA project📖🔬

New paper out! We compared heat-stress responses in two Antarctic benthic invertebrates using transcriptomics, revealing distinct molecular responses and potential differences in resilience under ocean warming. @Conxita_LAB @carlosduartephd

Excited to share our new paper on eukaryotic diversity across the Red Sea 🌊🧬
Using eDNA metabarcoding, we reveal 4,298 MOTUs across 40 phyla and strong community turnover along latitudinal and environmental gradients, from surface to deep sea

Proud and excited about our new paper
We highlight good practices for equitable, respectful collaborations in coral reef science — crucial for better, fairer, and more impactful research.
Collaboration is key to protecting reefs and empowering communities.

It’s been a real pleasure to work alongside such brilliant colleagues @Dr_ShannonKlein , @CassandraRoch , @carlosduartephd
Collaboration, mutual learning, and shared goals make the journey just as meaningful as the results. 🌟

Exploration of two low-oxygen deep-sea areas of the Red Sea by remotely operated and crewed vehicles describe a heretofore unknown ecosystem—and an unknown fish able to live at high temperatures (~22°C) and suboxic conditions. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/Trqp50VeN7K

So proud of Ken for this fantastic study
Mesopelagic fish are key to carbon sequestration, yet their diets remain a mystery-especially in the Red Sea Using DNA metabarcoding & ROV footage, we uncovered fascinating behaviors, including rare benthic feeding

🌊 🌊 Hidden oxygen-depleted zones in a Red Sea coral system! Unlike typical dead zones, these deep pockets host resilient aerobic taxa in extreme conditions. Could similar zones exist elsewhere? 🌍🔬
Work led by the amazing Shannon Klein!

Three locations along the Persian Gulf have experienced heat indices of 150°F (65.6°C) or greater in the last 48 hours.
A historic heatwave is baking the Middle East.

El Museo del Prado se une a @Ocean_us_life y a otros 10 museos en la campaña "Last Call for Beauty" para concienciar sobre el blanqueamiento de los corales. Esta urgencia se debe al aumento de la temperatura de los océanos provocado por el cambio climático, que amenaza de extinción a este ecosistema único y bello, con consecuencias que nos afectan a todos.
¿Hasta dónde estás dispuesto a perder belleza? #LastCallforBeauty #coralreefs stockcrowd.s3.amazonaws.com/…

Anuncian que los científicos que han trabajado para el Estado como "becarios" podrán cotizar por esos años. Eso sí, previo pago de 290 € por mes. Lo que el empleador (el Estado) no pagó en su día, ahora debe pagarlo el trabajador. Es indecente.
