Climate adaptation planning should lead with regions most exposed to future change as these have less lead-time before impacts likely emerge. Here we present indices to rank MPAs by their exposure to ocean warming so those most exposed can be prioritised https://t.co/asrjoax8jQ

Predictions of seafood nutritional quality in space and time (like these for whiting throughout south-eastern Aust) have the potential to inform the strategic harvest of nutritionally rich food. Well done @TanikaCShalders on an awesome final PhD chapter!

Just published in Fisheries Oceanography: We investigated the nutritional quality of eastern school whiting throughout south-eastern Australia & observed changes in nutritional quality in response to both season and ocean warming.

To hope to manage climate change impacts to living marine systems, we need rapid vulnerably assessment tools that produce outcomes faster than impacts occur. Here we demonstrate multi-criteria analysis as an effective method for doing this Open access: https://t.co/WAa1LPR8sR

Important paper just out demonstrating the opportunities species-on-the-move create to communicate climate change in ways that people care about. Very pleased to have contributed to this work led by the wonderful @GrettaPecl

Engaging people on #ClimateChange is challenging, but you can use climate-driven #SpeciesOnTheMove to connect with people, framed in ways that matter to them (economics, human health, environment etc). Our new paper out today in People & Nature: https://t.co/2lsS4XbWz1

New findings suggest animal-mediated plant reproduction might have originated in the ocean.

Food provisioning for white shark tourism increases the activity, but doesn't impact the physiological condition, of the iconic yellowtail kingfish. Fun collaboration with @TMClarke95 et al.

New Yellowtail Kingfish paper alert! We used acoustic activity tags and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis to assess the activity and body condition of kingfish at a white shark tourism site in South Australia. Read more: https://t.co/vVEwZS31le

Aussie oceans are warming up & projected to get much hotter than usual shortly - marine species are on the move. From dugong to octopuses, here are 8 species YOU might SPOT, LOG & MAP in new places ( https://t.co/GYp9TTOALH) @Zoe_Doubleday @curt_champ https://t.co/C4DC3wXfPP

When are kelps fertile in Australia?šŸ’¦šŸŒ± Our new paper compares fertility at the warm range edge to the rest of the range. Spoiler: warm range edge kelps have a lower reproductive output, but maintain constant spore release throughout the year! https://t.co/z1Ifi7xttH

We investigated the seasonal fertility of the kelp Ecklonia radiata and the links between fertility and environmental conditions. We found that kelps growi
