Our new paper in @ICES_ASC shows cryptic predators may limit crown-of-thorns seastar numbers on coral reefs.

#UQ research on the Great Barrier Reef has identified predators of coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish.

Tiny red decorator crabs eat up to 5 juvenile #COTS a day.

My first PhD paper on identifying novel #COTS predators is out now! 🦀⭐️ Learn more about the > 100 species we’ve tested so far & our newfound superstar predator, the red decorator crab https://t.co/mSmeaUtTlF @kennylwolfe @petemumby @suthicke

Our new paper in @Ecol_Evol reveals patterns in the movement and biomass of some of the tiniest communities on coral reefs, and what this might mean for future food webs @AmeliaDesbiens @petemumby

@RichardWei138 Yes @RichardWei138 - many sea cucumbers are fished and exported from Australia, and around the world, including CITES and IUCN-listed species.

[Kenny Wolfe @kennylwolfe]

Australia makes a BIG decision for endangered and CITES-listed black teatfish (Holothuria whitmaei). Harvest and export from the Great Barrier Reef not permitted! A rare movement to protect at-risk invertebrates on our coral reefs #seacucumber #fishery #conservation #proud

Don't miss the abstract deadline for AMSA's Science in Sea Country conference this July. We have an INVERTEBRATES session for all the critter-lovers! 🦀🐙⭐️🪱🦐 https://t.co/tAbWWAy8uP

[AMSA-NSMSS 2024 Conference @AMSAconf]

The deadline is approaching - submit your abstract and workshop ideas now!

Is something MISSING from your life? Could it be the complete guide to coral rubble dynamics?? This started as lil lit review ~7 y ago to convince @petemumby to take me on as a student, & it’s morphed into this beautiful beast! https://t.co/sMYYYZNHiA

[Kenny Wolfe @kennylwolfe]

My all-time favourite #seacucumber, Thelenota ananas, now listed on #CITES II. Sea cucumbers are slow and highly susceptible to #overfishing. We need global recognition of their importance in marine ecosystems to secure their futures.

[CITES @CITES]

Sea cucumbers have an extremely peculiar defense mechanism. When feeling threatened, they can contract their muscles and throw some of their internal organs at their enemies. Not to worry, they can quickly regenerate them later. How dramatic is that?

#PhD opportunity to study crabs, climate change and contaminants!! (more specific info in thread below).
The project is associated with a generous top-up scholarship ($10K/year) and operating budget ($15K/year). Based in beautiful Coffs Harbour, Australia. Pls RT

New experiment on crown-of-thorns starfish #COTS juveniles underway. The Schizophrys survivors. Exploring population control while they’re tiny herbivores, before they become coral-eating adults. @AmeliaDesbiens

Fishing endangered and CITES-listed sea cucumbers from the Great Barrier Reef presents a range of challenges in a lucrative export industry. New regulations have been enforced, outlined in our new paper: @ProfMariaByrne
