🔥🌊A new JCU study has revealed mangrove habitats may serve as temporary sanctuaries for stingrays, but scientists fear the ‘saunas’ could become too hot to handle with climate change accelerating. @physiologyfish @Bouyoucos 📸by @SharkColin

Finding Nemo. @AdamDownUnder @physiologyfish &co show that #anemonefish larvae exhibit physiological & transcriptomic changes associated with swimming, O2 uptake & #hypoxia tolerance, potentially aiding dispersal of the pelagic larval phase #PLOSBiology

Baby anemonefish can rapidly change their genes to survive in the sea https://t.co/y6mO3Arvzd in @PLOSBiology by @AdamDownUnder @sjannielefevre @Bjoern_Illing J. Harris, @mdjarrold M.McCormick, G.Nilsson, @physiologyfish at @jcu #fishathletes

Some of the fish that live in anemones and reefs go through intense physiological changes during adolescence.

The study that inspired and formed the foundation for my entire PhD is out now in @PLOSBiology Using Nemo, we looked at how baby coral reef fishes🐠 support their amazing swimming performance🏊♀️🫧 and how they transition from ocean to reef life🧬 https://t.co/xSx7Oxfj04 📸: me

NEW PAPER🚨New method to estimate body fat in #seaturtles🐢🍔 We validated a Bioelectrical Impedance Analyser (BIA) using #CT scans & #AI. BIA is portable & can track body fat changes over time📈 In @Ecol_Evol: https://t.co/43jt6T4SrU & @ChicagoJournals: https://t.co/GOrk0LgiGm

Proofing chapter @Bjoern_Illing & I wrote in Dec.2021 "... global events related to coral reef health... Great Barrier Reef... mass coral bleaching... ocean warming... 1998, 2002, 2006, 2016, 2017, & 2020... had never before been documented in human history." Sadly adding 2022.

🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨 Traffic calming boosts breeding on coral reefs Slowing down and giving reefs a wider berth boosts #fish breeding - encouraging growth and improving survival. Is it time to adopt acoustic sanctuaries? #OceanOptimism #CoralReefs
