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

Valuable two days spent at the #AdaptNSW climate adaptation forum presenting work on the exposure of marine parks to ocean warming and discussing marine system response and options more broadly. https://t.co/QTZghfqvg5

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

A fun article on @ConversationEDU based on @reina_veenhof PhD research on seaweed sex and urchin poo
Today we published our Conversation piece discussing how small critters can fertilize gametophytes in their poo: both urchins and small snails can do this! š©š± https://t.co/JGVu9b7dtH

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

Much warmer than normal ocean temps are forecast for Australia over the coming months. We write about what this means for marine biodiversity and provide a list of species to keep an eye out for:
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)

And a big thanks to the authors who contributed to this chapter: @elliot_scanes, @TanikaCShalders, @MelindaAColeman, @curt_champ, Kirsten Benkendorff, @paddy_joyce, Jacqueline Middleton, Ashlee Cunsolo, and Sherilee Harper. It was a pleasure to work with you all š¤©
Coinciding with #WorldOceanDay is the lunch of the second edition of "Oceans and Human Health". Over 100 authors from across the world contributed, with @SamDupont2 and I co-leads of the chapter addressing climate change and the ocean

When are kelps fertile in Australia?š¦š± 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

Our comprehensive assessment of drivers of early stages of marine species redistributions is out now. Climate, currents and species traits are all important!
Approx. 50% of life on earth are #SpeciesOnTheMove due to #ClimateChange but there is much we don't understand. We use out-of-range #citsci obs to take a detailed look. New paper led by @molinos_jorge & Heather Hunt with me, @MGreen_science @curt_champ

Inequities in publishing, including open-access funding, can undermine ECR success. We sought to improve this and Iām happy to share/celebrate seven published honoree papers from the first round of the @aslo_org L&O Letters ECR Honor. A thread... https://t.co/BP0B0nprxs
