Once upon a time I just admired nudis and sea slugs. But it was not enough. Now apparently I'm creating an R package to celebrate their colour palettes? 😅 First up, my Sydney fave, Hypselodoris bennetti. #rstats #nudibranch #dataviz 🦑🐙🧪 #marinelife #invertebrates

There is no virtual replacement for synergies created during in person project meetings. Our annual @cambiomed-biodiversa.com meeting hosted in Pisa is a perfect example of it. A productive and bonding experience.
We are advertising a 12month scholarship for analyzing pictures of macroalgae using an AI tool. The candidate should have a bachelor degree in Biological Sciences or similar. For applications see Borsa di Ricerca n. 44/2025 on www.szn.it/index.php/it... DEADLINE 30 November!!!

La jornada d'aquest dissabte va ser tot un èxit! 🪸 El dia va començar amb una passejada fins a la Cala Estreta 👣 Llavors vam explicar què són els boscos marins i quina importància tenen 🌳🌊 Vam fer snorkel per descobrir-ho en primera persona 🤿

& the reason for ⬇️ Most sea foam has nothing to do with pollution - but instead is a result of dissolved organic matter in the water being mixed enough by wave and other water movements to cause the organic matter to form a foam (a bit like when you beat egg whites"
Spare a thought for my poor wife who on most coastal holidays has to tolerate me taking pictures of sea foam 🤣
Parts of the Mediterranean Sea reached 30C this week, much earlier than usual, raising fears for marine life. For some areas, this is 6 or 7C warmer than usual at this time of year. Our story with more maps by @markpoynting.bsky.social and me here: www.bbc.com/news/article...
📢 Queda poc! #CEAB @csic.es i @medrecover.bsky.social convoquem la Beca Predoctoral Kike Ballesteros 💙 Amb Pristine Seas i en memòria d’un gran del Mediterrani 🌊 💥 Vols fer tesi sobre biodiversitat marina?

A super presentation by @cgalobart.bsky.social on the change in species and functional trait diversity with fragmentation, i.e. the degree of habitats splitting into smaller patches.
Great evening, gathering the COASTFRAG group at the #ITRS2025 conference in Brest, France, for discussions of results and plans for our intertidal rockweeds habitat fragmentation work.
Part of our team is attending the 14th International Temperate Reef Symposium (ITRS) in Brest!

It's been hard for early career biologists looking for postdocs, so I created a Google Sheet where we can all compile fellowships/job boards/postdoc opportunities in one place. PLEASE SHARE WIDELY! If you're a PI looking for postdocs, you can add to the 4th tab! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

In my experience, "Data available on request" is a useless claim. I've reached out to a variety of academics that state this in their paper and one of the following things happen: - Their email address is no longer valid - Their whereabouts is unknown - They don't actually reply to the request ...

🌿 T’has preguntat mai què s’hi amaga als boscos submarins? Són ecosistemes plens de vida i claus per a la salut del nostre planeta 🌱🌊 Vine a descobrir-ho amb la investigadora Cristina Galobart del #CEAB 🔝 @marineforests.bsky.social 📆 06/06, a les 19h 📍 Biblioteca de #Vidreres Us hi esperem! 😀
During our first week of sampling, we have already noticed a remarkable change in the percentage cover of macroalgae in several sites of the Cyclades Islands. Once macroalgal forests, now turf... @skatsanevakis.bsky.social @rilovlab.bsky.social @ceabcsic.bsky.social
Another experiment started! How fishes are interacting with the invasive macroalgae #Rugulopteryx okamurae?
