🚨 Our new paper is out now in Ethology. Here we show that #lionfish show social attraction to conspecifics when selecting shelters. doi.org/10.1111/eth....

NEW JOB: How does pelagic-reef connectivity vary across atolls and oceans?

2 year post-doc position based at research-intensive @lancasteruni.bsky.social, and part of the fantastic @lec-reefs.bsky.social team

Great Barrier Reef fish reveal that large-scale macroecological patterns have changed significantly 🐟🐠

We found that changes in latitudinal diversity gradient & rising species turnover were strongly correlated with shifts in coral composition

Out now in Nature Comms www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We're thrilled to welcome you to #BES2024! 🎉

Connect with fellow ecologists, and celebrate the innovations that come out of this week 🌿

Don’t forget to tag us and share your favourite moments from the Annual Meeting. We can't wait to see what inspires you! ✨

🚨Excited that the first chapter from my PhD is now out in Marine Biology. Here we show that #lionfish do not show any directional preferences for ambient #soundscapes during diurnal hours.

It has been great to host Joe Roman and discuss nutrient subsidies, invasive species, and whale pee! Excellent seminar today, covering his whale research and his superb new book - Eat, Poop , Die!

Had a great weekend at #RCUK2024 with Lancaster University! It was an amazing first conference experience and I was able to engage with the latest research in reef science and conservation. Looking forward to applying what I’ve learnt to my own work!

Merry fishmas from the MBE group! 🐟
