Since 2016, the Coral Trait Database (https://t.co/ATdazUPiwK) has contributed to the advancement of coral reef science. However, data on #octocorals —key components of coral ecosystems— was missing... until NOW!🎉 The Octocoral Trait Database is here!👇

Very excited to join Macroscope Lab team at MARE/@ULisboa_ as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow! I’ll be coordinating the @FutvreCor project on how expected global change–driven species losses may affect coral reef functioning. 🌊🪸 More news about the project soon!

🪸 Sabies que la resiliència dels coralls mediterranis no depèn només de la seva genètica i de les condicions ambientals, sinó que també hi influeix el seu microbioma? Ho ha descobert una recerca de l'@IBE_Barcelona 🦠 Llegeix la seva fitxa Prismàtic aquí: https://t.co/ZYiQTxlgvd

Long-standing marine reserves need continued support

Spain’s marine reserves, managed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food @gobmapa have suffered a 40% budget cut leaving them partially unprotected.

Tras hablar del impacto de los incendios submarinos, hoy viajamos de la mano de @DaniGomezGras a mares más lejanos🌊, para visitar impresionantes arrecifes de coral y conocer la amenaza del blanqueamiento de corales, que pone en riesgo su supervivencia🌡️

¿Has oído alguna vez hablar de los #incendios submarinos?🔥🌊

Hoy, el investigador @DaniGomezGras de @Med_Recover nos explica las consecuencias ecológicas de este fenómeno, cada vez más intenso y frecuente, en los ecosistemas marinos mediterráneos 🪸🌡️

[Félix Picazo @Xilef_AB]

En lo que llevamos de verano habrás visto varias veces en las noticias que el mar Mediterráneo está más caliente que nunca. ¿Qué consecuencias puede tener esto para sus ecosistemas? Hoy nos lo cuenta @DaniGomezGras de @Med_Recover en @ecomandanga.

🧵Can marine restoration lead to ecological recovery?

🌊Success is often assessed by short-term survival of transplants, but what about long-term changes in community (trait) composition?

We studied this for a key Mediterranean octocoral. 👇

and across all #depth zones.

[Daniel Gómez-Gras @DaniGomezGras]

I would also like to thank the whole team who made this project possible: J.S. Madin, @crislinaresibz , K.E. Fabricius, C.S. McFadden, A. Gori, N. Viladrich, J. Grinyó, and @Yanis_ZM. I am looking forward to keep collaborating with you in future exciting projects!

#Trait observations were compiled across all marine #ecoregions ...

[Daniel Gómez-Gras @DaniGomezGras]

The inaugural dataset, OctocoralTraits v2.2, contains over 97,500 global trait observations across 98 traits and over 3,500 species.
