New #OA paper in @MEPS_IR📢
Assessing genetic differentiation for species with high gene flow can be challenging. We show that #relatedness can be a useful tool to detect isolation-by-distance & can help with #MPA design if carefully applied🧬🐟

🚨 Exciting News! Our paper, Impacts of ‘Reef Star’ Coral Restoration on Multiple Metrics of Habitat Complexity, is now published in Restoration Ecology! 🌊🪸 We investigate how #coralrestoration enhances habitat complexity and promotes biodiversity. 1/8

New Nautilus Rewilding issue with the Bertarelli Foundation is out now!
#iomarinescience scientists discuss what has been done and what can be done to improve the health of the ocean through rewilding

Check out @LisaGoberdhan ‘s super science at #ECRS2024 showing that ‘Variation in coral rubble cryptofauna is scale-dependent and driven by small-scale habitat characteristics’! Just published in MEPS!
#PopulationConnectivity can be hard to assess for species with high gene flow. We show that population- and kinship-based approaches can help detect #GeneticDifferentiation in the shanny Lipophrys pholis along the Northeast Atlantic coast. #MFC

"What happens to cryptobenthic fish communities has consequences that extend far beyond what their small size might suggest. How they respond to invasives can inform us of reefs’ vulnerability, resistance & resilience to human-induced changes" @LLJeannot#ScientistSpotlight#ECR
Had so much fun at #RCUK2023 showcasing work we did earlier this year in @fregateisland 🤿 thanks @ReefConsUK @SciencesNCL for another amazing conference! 🪸 🐠
We are looking forward to #RCUK2023 this weekend!
🪸 Workshop hosting: @stillstandenn & @AntonioAllegr15

See you in Newcastle! 🌊🐠
I am very grateful for all the support I had from @fregateisland's conservation team - a fantastic group of people dedicated to keep the island rat-free and preserve its incredible wildlife
Almost back from my 1st PhD fieldwork at Fregate Island, Seychelles 🇸🇨 We spent two weeks sampling ~1000 cryptobenthic fish in high and low seabird nutrient sites. Swell and late nights processing fish were more than compensated by a stellar team @JPMarBiol @gobysimon @naj_graham
🪸New paper alert🪸
Thrilled to share our new work published today.
"Legacy effects of anthropogenic disturbances modulate dynamics in the world's coral reefs"

Having an amazing time sampling teeny weeny fish at @fregateisland with @JPMarBiol, @gobysimon and @naj_graham 🇸🇨🐠 amazed every day by what I'm seeing above ground and underwater, what a magical place!
