Florida has become an epicenter of coral restoration
but if success is measure by the amount of live coral on the reef, the campaign is in dire straights

What we do/don’t know re: sharks ecological roles. Much predation/fear by big coastal sharks, by western unis, little else. Must protect big individuals & species’ outsized roles. MPAs crucial; engage communities to improve outcomes & shark perceptions https://t.co/Fds4cf3yiy
New paper out in @ScienceMagazine
We review the ecological role of sharks and how these have changed in the Anthropocene. https://t.co/9hoNan9mQ1

Come join us! A 2-year postdoc fellowship is available at the Hawai'i Inst of Marine Biology in the @MMRP_UH and @ElizMadin labs. Focus is on satellite-based population monitoring of humpback whales. Applications due July 14 for a Sept. 1 start date. https://t.co/q3Xx21RGc9
Energy landscapes of predators and fear landscapes of prey can vary spatially but also temporally and should be integrated. For examples in terrestrial, aerial, and marine ecosystems, see https://t.co/KawxGuhpJI Led by @Dr_Yannis
New Postdoc opportunity at UQ to design coral reef interventions. Based in Brisbane with field work in Palau. Priority to people with work rights but international applicants considered. Please rt

Great to see the Biology and @FIUMarineBio grad students present their work at Biosymposium on Saturday. And congratulations to the lab’s own Sara Schoen for winning first place in the 15 min presentation category! @FIUEnvironment@FIUCASE@FIUGradSchool@peclabfiu
New paper lead by recent @peclabfiu graduate @s_luongo. We use energetics and telemetry to estimate consumption rates of Nassau grouper. The proportion of prey consumed varies by habitat on coral reefs and may increase 24% with future climate scenarios. https://t.co/kRSogr56zT
Are you a US-based graduate student studying coral reef science? Come explore Australia where the rainforest meets the reef to explore coral reefs through a transdisciplinary lens.

@BahaNick For a lot of female scientists (particularly early-career) and maybe other minority groups, putting your name on the lab is the only way to stop people asking if you are a postdoc or who your PI is. So maybe weird for white men (like me), but understandable for many others.
