It was great to contribute to paper led by Tsai-Hsuan Tony Hsu on fish corallivory. Turns out storage lipids may play a role in resilience of corals to chronic butterflyfish predation. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Behavioural, physiological, and biochemical responses of two species of scleractinian coral to butterflyfish predation
The negative effects of coral loss on fish assemblages are well established, particularly for obligate corallivores. In contrast, the impacts of coral…

Paper led by by @bahar (not on Bluesky) is methodological tour de force: 13C labelling, mass spec, NEXAFS. Nitrogen availability alters the contribution of ex-vivoand in-vivo pathways to carbon formation in particulate- and mineral-associated organic matter www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Nitrogen availability alters the contribution of ex-vivo and in-vivo pathways to carbon formation in particulate- and mineral-associated organic matter
Soil carbon (C) sequestration depends on the formation of particulate- and mineral-associated organic matter (POM and MAOM). These soil organic matter…

PhD opportunity: Maximising the resilience of grasslands in an age of rapid environmental change
Brief Project Summary: This project aims to address the significant knowledge gap of how species composition may change due to extreme rainfall events (droughts and flooding rainfall), grazing and nutrient addition, and in-turn, quantify the loss of ecosystem function resulting from species turnover. Further, this project will identify species that contribute the most to function.

I moved into a “new” #lab last week. A welcome surprise is finding I’m not the oldest thing in the lab. Case in point: Schott bottle labelled 9/5/71

Understanding extractable metal species relationships with phosphorus sorption and organic carbon in soils
Context Iron and aluminium oxides are important in phosphate sorption capacity of soils and preservation of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, there is a complex interplay between among Fe/Al oxides,...
