Close up with a beautiful nudibranch on a rocky reef. The lower half of the image is a palette of swatches made from the nudi's vibrant colours.
Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs.
But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅
First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti.

There is no virtual replacement for synergies created during in person project meetings. Our annual @cambiomed-biodiversa.com meeting hosted in Pisa is a perfect example of it. A productive and bonding experience.
We are advertising a 12month scholarship for analyzing pictures of macroalgae using an AI tool. The candidate should have a bachelor degree in Biological Sciences or similar. For applications see Borsa di Ricerca n. 44/2025 on www.szn.it/index.php/it...
DEADLINE 30 November!!!
Does anyone know what is wrong with this scorpionfish?

La jornada d'aquest dissabte va ser tot un èxit! 🪸
El dia va començar amb una passejada fins a la Cala Estreta 👣
Llavors vam explicar què són els boscos marins i quina importància tenen 🌳🌊
Vam fer snorkel per descobrir-ho en primera persona 🤿

Hey everybody! @drjuliawester.bsky.social and I have a new paper!
We surveyed over 800 scientists, science communicators, and science educators who use social media.
Conclusion: Scientists no longer find Twitter useful or pleasant, and many have switched to Bluesky! 🧪🌎🦑

& the reason for ⬇️
Most sea foam has nothing to do with pollution - but instead is a result of dissolved organic matter in the water being mixed enough by wave and other water movements to cause the organic matter to form a foam (a bit like when you beat egg whites"
Map of sea surface temperatures in the Mediterranean Sea showing parts of it reached 30C such as off the coast of Calabria, and the islands of Majorca and Sicily. Below the map is a chart showing daily maximum temperature at a buoy next to Majorca where it reached 30C for the first time this early in the season.
Parts of the Mediterranean Sea reached 30C this week, much earlier than usual, raising fears for marine life.
For some areas, this is 6 or 7C warmer than usual at this time of year.

A super presentation by @cgalobart.bsky.social on the change in species and functional trait diversity with fragmentation, i.e. the degree of habitats splitting into smaller patches.
Great evening, gathering the COASTFRAG group at the #ITRS2025 conference in Brest, France, for discussions of results and plans for our intertidal rockweeds habitat fragmentation work.
Part of our team is attending the 14th International Temperate Reef Symposium (ITRS) in Brest!

It's been hard for early career biologists looking for postdocs, so I created a Google Sheet where we can all compile fellowships/job boards/postdoc opportunities in one place. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY! If you're a PI looking for postdocs, you can add to the 4th tab! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
In my experience, "Data available on request" is a useless claim.
I've reached out to a variety of academics that state this in their paper and one of the following things happen:
- Their email address is no longer valid
- Their whereabouts is unknown
- They don't actually reply to the request
