Fish communities around inshore islands of the Great Barrier Reef are struggling with more frequent coral bleaching events, flooding + cyclones.

out now: Microbial solutions against climate catastrophe” => A call to action across 15 journals to counter climate change, harnessing microbiology. ... Too many times we heard it can’t be done, and yet here we are! @UniKonstanz kudos to @peixotors et al https://t.co/kuoLpw4bJo
Very interesting article: professional visualization was a game changer in science

Fantastic showcase of science excellence at the @AIMSatJCU seminar day last Friday!
From microplastics & machine learning to coral seeding, shark surveys and sharing knowledge on Sea Country- congrats to all participants. Australia's tropical marine science is in good hands.
Lastly, we show how picocyanobacteria Synechococcus & Prochlorococcus drive nutrient cycling in the GBR. From photosynthesis to microbial loops, see how seawater microbes recycle nutrients and fuel marine food webs in the outer GBR!🌊🦠🪸
🌊🦠 Happy to share our new preprint on reef bacterioplankton of the Great Barrier Reef. 📉🔬

Using read-based metagenomics, we’ve discovered that functional indicators (genes) from seawater microbes are twice as stable in inferring continuous reef environmental variables compared to (traditional) taxonomic indicators

Out now - our annual report on reef condition in the #GreatBarrierReef
Coral cover ⬆️ in all 3️⃣ regions BUT results don’t reflect mass bleaching or cyclone impacts, as most surveys were already completed.
Media release: https://t.co/6LCLwxRuMt
Report: https://t.co/Z4l8r4ZYLu
The Long-Term Monitoring Program team surveyed 94 reefs over 120 days at sea⛴️
Our annual report focuses on % of live coral cover – a common reef indicator that we can assess quickly and efficiently to visit as many reefs as possible each year.

Our work on how genome duplication shaped evolution of a coral symbiont is out in @ScienceAdvances! A product of 6yrs of my PhD & postdoc w/ @dorkyM, I've never been prouder of a piece of work. Great collab w/ @uts_c3@FIU@RutgersSEBS@aims_gov_au @ace_uq https://t.co/tymfLkMN93
