👯🪸 Digital twins for coral reefs? New research, co-authored by #PewMarineFellow @TriesRazak, uses 3D tech to create digital reef replicas. These models can help scientists monitor changing ecosystems faster—and more affordably—than ever before.

Creating 3D computer models of entire reefs – sometimes known as digital twins – can help researchers monitor these precious ecosystems faster and more accurately than ever before.

Great fun recording for @PentlandCentre #TransformingTomorrow pod 🎙️, with @ThePaulTurner and Jan Bebbington - how to best restore ecosystems 🏞️, how businesses can help 🏙️, and how many Cumbrias fit into Wales 🤔 (plot spoiler - it depends on the point of tide… 🌊)

Out today in Biology Letters! https://t.co/AalAQ4KF5j Our #NewPaper documents decade-long behavioural change at a #spawningsite, showing how #fishing disrupts squaretail grouper mating behaviours, causing them to flee w fear, rather than fight w competitors or flirt w mates.

Honored to receive the ICRS World Reef Award @ICRSCoralReefs! It means a lot to be acknowledged where representation is limited. Indonesia has the world's most diverse coral organisms, yet reef science/conservation often go unrecognized. I'm committed to changing this narrative!

Eggs exposed to representative traffic noise for just five days hatched into birds that went on to have HALF the lifetime reproductive fitness of the control group. 📉🪺🐦 When are we going to take noise pollution as seriously as the evidence demands? 🔇🤫
Exposure to traffic noise—even while in the egg—impairs bird development and fitness, according to a new Science study. The findings call for a reassessment of the threat posed by anthropogenic noise and the need for noise mitigation measures. https://t.co/o36Ozg34TP

Today is a big day! The first work from my PhD thesis and my first first-author publication is out in @RSocPublishing. We demonstrated for the first time that playing reef sounds to coral larvae can increase their settlement rates
