Coral reefs need more than science alone ! In our new Science Advances perspective with @momedinamunoz.bsky.social, we argue that art and science together can inspire public engagement, influence policy, and mobilize global action for reef conservation. 🌊🎨🪸 👉 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪🌍🦤🦑

Communicating coral: Art and science for global reef action

Coral reefs are experiencing unprecedented rapid decline. Art can act as a beacon to engage audiences, influence policy, and inspire global action.

Almost every European plant species is out of equilibrium. Climate change is only part of the story—disturbance greatly shapes where species actually occur. 🚨Our new paper 🌱in @natecoevo.nature.com analysed 3,047 species across >1.1M European vegetation plots. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Can sound help people care about overlooked species? We found that hearing the spawning calls of an endangered, non-charismatic fish 🐟 significantly increased public interest and support for its protection ! 📰 Tribot & Mouquet (2026), Biological Conservation 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.bi... 🧪🌍🦤🦑

What happens after a forest dies, a coral reef bleaches, or an oyster bed collapses? A study of 10 ecosystems reveals that they carry memory. The material remains of foundation species can shape resilience, recovery, or collapse for decades in a changing climate. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Legacies of foundation species shape life after death

The dead remains of habitat-forming organisms can have powerful influences on the resilience of the ecosystems they inhabit.

As deforestation in the Amazon falls, fresh evidence shows that the rainforest can withstand global warming, but only if there is a worldwide effort to stop cutting it down. go.nature.com/4edMYKy

The Amazon can be saved — with concerted action inside and outside Brazil

A new global map of phytoplankton nutrient stress reveals that ocean productivity is tightly linked to the supply of nutrients from the deep ocean. As surface waters warm and stratify, nutrient stress is increasing, providing a physiological link to climate change. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Genomic-to-space measurements reveal large-scale ocean nutrient stress

Satellite, genomic, and hydrographic analyses reveal climate-driven shifts in phytoplankton nutrient stress across the ocean.

A 2021 #ScienceReview showed how the rapidly changing soundscape of modern oceans impacts marine life globally—and how mitigating these impacts is key to achieving a healthier ocean. Learn more on #WorldOceansDay: https://scim.ag/4ueX7ML

Can we engineer ecosystems before they collapse? In our new perspective on "emergent bioengineering" we argue that the key challenge is not simply controlling living systems, but designing interventions that can adapt and sustain functional ecological networks. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Exceptional seminar, Monday June 1st, 2pm (FR time) "Anticipating ecological disruptions with measurement of network coherence" by #Dominique_Gravel @usherbrooke.bsky.social, Canada Zoom: tinyurl.com/fdwnf2wz Pwd: DG@cbgp!01 #food_webs #ecological_networks #biodiversity

The role of response diversity in promoting community stability depends on disturbance regimes and is shaped by species interactions. Stability following pulse disturbances was highest when multiple interacting species uniformly exhibited strong resistance or fast recovery

Species Interactions Determine the Importance of Response Diversity for Community Stability to Pulse Disturbances

Caculations of response diversity can be based on species fundamental responses in isolation or their realised responses in the community using metrics of response dissimilarity and response divergen...
