Also consider Session 98: eco-evolutionary responses of reef organisms to anthropogenic climate change with @ecolology.bsky.social and @liamlachs.bsky.social! Super important for future coral reef dynamics, so I'm really looking forward to this session.

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB!

We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals

We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

From policy to practice: progress towards data- and code-sharing in ecology and evolution | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences

Data and code are essential for ensuring the credibility of scientific results and facilitating reproducibility, areas in which journal sharing policies play a crucial role. However, in ecology and evolution, we still do not know how widespread data- and ...

@kepra3.bsky.social Presented a fantastic talk at #ICCB2025 on estimates of coral dispersal through genomics. Using Wright's neighbourhood area theory, she estimates the true realised dispersal of corals using genetic data. Coral connectivity is crucial for est pop resilience and resp. to stressors!

@annacresswell.bsky.social Presented an incredible and detailed view of her coral modelling and outputs from her model called CScape at #ICCB2025 modelling fine-scale within-reef area responses to future climate projections for 6 different growth forms, all informed by fine-scale reef photogrammetry

Come see my talk at #ICCB2025 this arvo on assisted evolution interventions in corals to promote adaptation to climate change!
It's in the speed talks in Genetics, Evolution, & Biogeography II in P4 from 3:30-4:30 (3:46pm talk)

Happy New Years everyone! This year I'm again continuing with my tradition of NY 'Themes' instead of resolutions since I watched this vid by the great CGP Grey: youtu.be/NVGuFdX5guE
This is my 5th year doing it; I highly recommend it!!

One thing that I really hated when eMusk took over Twitter was that the TwitteR package stopped working, which meant I couldn't do any scrapes of conference tweets and produce real-time word cloud or network plots. I'm very happy to report that the bskyr package appears to fill this gap!
