But how did coral diversity change as a result of this intense heatwave? We investigate this in our new paper out this past week in @RSocPublishing 1/9

During the mega-2015-2016 El Niño, temperature anomalies in the central equatorial Pacific Ocean were extremely prolonged–lasting almost 1 year on Kiritimati (Christmas Island, Republic of Kiribati). For reference, corals can bleach after only a few weeks of heat stress.
🚀 Attention all #EarlyCareerResearchers! 🚀 Check out our latest (my personal debut) publication on tackling the infamous #ImposterSyndrome and how to make meaningful contributions to scientific working groups! 🌟 https://t.co/0KSmseS3mu
Well that came out of nowhere 😅
Thank you so much @isdsc8 for giving me the chance to share my research and meet some amazing people 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Until next time! 🪸

My first paper! Functional response experiments are often used to predict the impact of invasive predators on prey, but many only use males. What about females? We checked it out with invasive green crabs. 1/7 ⬇️
Watch out @BamfieldMSC, the @AmandaEBates crew is here to stay. @jasschuster, @LydiaNWalton, and I were super excited poke around the new home of the Rocky Reef Conservation Lab - with the best window for black bear watching! 🐟🐻
Awesome thread by @dgmaucieri about our recent paper on multiple stressor impacts on #coral reefs.
Spoiler: the strength of underlying stressors makes all the difference in determining the type and direction of interactions

@RSocPublishing@baumlab@SamStarko@uvic 9/9 This work was only possible with the hard work of the Kiritimati field teams, especially @Tietjenk and @ClaarDanielle who led expeditions, and data processing, especially from @NiallanOBrien and Jessie Lund.

@RSocPublishing@baumlab@SamStarko@uvic 8/9 This work highlights how important the inclusion of realistic measures of stress in ecological systems are if we are trying to understand how multiple stressors alter ecosystem dynamics.
