Really nice work by @zoe-meziere.bsky.social. Original planned experiment not possible b/c incoming “control” temperature water from Heron Reef was too hot 😢 Results show that cryptic coral species inherently differ in their resistance to heat and their recovery.

Next up in the S. pistillata saga: thermal tolerance differs among cryptic coral species and associated symbionts during a heatwave. Now out in @royalsocietypublishing.org 🧵 royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...

As marine heatwaves intensify, who survives - and why? Maitri Manjunath highlights work from @zoe-meziere.bsky.social & team who studied the variation in coral thermal stress responses during a real-time marine heatwave 🪸 #preprint #ecology #preLight: prelights.biologists.com/highlights/h...

Beating the heat isn’t about place, it’s about partnership.

Fun news! @gcbias.bsky.social and I are teaching a 2-week online population genetics workshop this summer to raise money for the Center for Population Biology at UC Davis. We're trying to gauge interest -- please fill this out if you might be interested! And please share broadly!

They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. #USForestService

It's baffling why the Go8 (a group of 8 leading universities in Australia) endorsed a position to weaken environmental laws. Not only do we, the researchers at these universities, disagree, but our research shows it is a bad idea. In just one day, 90 Go8 researchers documented our opposition.

We have no answers from our institutions as to why Go8 universities endorsed BCA's regressive EPBC recommendations But 90 of us have signed an 'Independent statement on the Group of Eight’s position on EPBC Act reforms' 🙏 Prof Justine Bell-James for writing & coordinating the independent statement
