Super excited to announce I've started as a postdoc at LEC REEFS @lec-reefs.bsky.social with James Robinson @james-robinson.bsky.social and Renato Morais @renatoamorais.bsky.social. Not only can I stick with my reef fish, but we're scaling up work on fish productivity and nutrient fluxes 🦠🐠

Spatial Insurance of Distinct Ecological Functions
Communities can act as functional sources and sustain rare ecological roles across space. We reveal patterns of functional vulnerability for plants and birds

In the new Eawag/WSL Biodiversity Monitoring Initiative we will strengthen & advance effective and scalable #biodiversity #monitoring methods & implement into practice. 🌐🌳🐟📈
Oxygen supersaturation has been reported to protect aquatic animals from heat waves. We tested this in a large collaborative experiment on many species of fish and crustaceans. Our new paper in @plosbiology.org shows that the effect of hyperoxia on thermal tolerance is negligible. Unfortunately.

I am pleased to announce the publication of the most extensive assessment of the coral reefs of Thailand conducted to date! This took years of work, but we are now placed for conservation action to embrace the nuances and complexity of reef ecosystems!

Pictured is a male jaguar (Panthera onca) equipped with a tracking collar. William F. Fagan et al. tracked the movements of 1,239 mammalian carnivores, including 16 canid species and 18 felid species, on six continents. On average, compared with felids, canids displayed a greater density of trackways within their range and were more likely to reuse established trackways. According to the authors, the evolutionary differences in carnivore movement patterns could aid efforts to model encounters among carnivores, prey, and humans. See the article by Fagan et al. e2401042122. Image credit: Sebastian Kennerknecht (photographer).
Canids seem to be the routine lovers, reusing their travel routes more than felids. This shapes hunting, encounters, and even disease spread. Insights from 1,239 GPS-tracked carnivores, including the Arctic foxes we track on Bylot Island 🧪🌿🌎🌐🦊. Read in the latest PNAS at bitly.cx/TxI2

Heard of "Darwin's paradox"? It refers to Charles Darwin's observation that coral reefs are wildly productive despite occurring in nutrient-poor tropical oceans. Reefs are, so the story goes, oases in marine deserts 🏝️...
Turns out that 2/3 of these assertions are very wrong...

So, now Macron’s government wants to look good and attract talent pushed out of the US? Do not be fooled, this is a political stunt to capitalise on geopolitics. Phenomenal in-house resources forced to leave science but there’s always money to look good:
