Happy to share my recent 🎧 interview on Ecoshock Radio! We discussed our new findings on how long-term and short-term ocean warming is impacting fish biomass across the Northern Hemisphere.

We just published a review 🗞️😁:
‘The ecology of adaptive radiation’ revisited: A 25-year reflection
Dolph Schluter’s book inspired the interest in adaptive radiation, and we wanted to revisit it.

New observations of fascinating rock #sponges 🤩, in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea! A short note from our Greek partners highlight some of the threats rock sponges face, such as #plastic liter in the deep-sea 🙁

Amazing SponBIODIV discovery 🤩 by Díaz et al. at the Museum of Evolution at Uppsala University, Sweden.
We welcome the VILESIDA, an entirely new order of #sponges 🪸 @biodiversa.eu
Uppsala University was curious to see for themselves the new order of #sponges we discovered 😅
The use of historical #collections is pivotal in the understanding of today's taxonomy and biodiversity.
Our SponBIODIV partner @uu.se illustrates this with a 19th century🎩 #sponge🪸 collection from the North Atlantic 🌊.

#Photogrammetry works to monitor vulnerable marine ecosystems such as deepsea #spongegrounds! A population of the iconic 'Asconema setubalense' slightly increased reveal our partners from IEO-CSIC (Gijón, Spain), despite high fishing pressure. @biodiversa.eu

Do microbes contribute to #sponge sexual reproduction❤️ ? A team from SponBIODIV finds significant microbial composition changes in two species between reproductive and non-reproductive sponges! Spoiler: #Archaea are important!

#Connectivity in the #deepsea! EXCELLENT study on the key sponge ground species ‘Geodia hentscheli’, shows strong genetic and microbiome structures segregated by depth. 👇

What a great SponBIODIV kickoff meeting we had at
@ciimar.bsky.social in June 2023. 🙌 to this awesome All-Atlantic & Mediterranean consortium with 10 partners +7 associate partners, and over 60 researchers! Since then the #sponge science (and fun) has never stopped 😊 .

Their findings, published in @natureportfolio.nature.com, reaffirm earlier work by researchers including Steven Haddock of @mbarinews.bsky.social, who have urged the global community to move cautiously in the face of all the uncertainties. mbayaq.co/44cVKEa
