New podcast - containing the vital information of how many Cumbrias you could fit inside a Wales!
Enjoy a @PentlandCentre #TransformingTomorrow podcast double-header this week, starting with @LancsUniLEC's @TimACLamont discussing his work on #NatureRestoration and #CoralReefs Link in comments, or listen and subscribe on all the usual podcast platforms.

Honoured to be a plenary speaker at @ReefConsUK this year! Excited to share insights from a decade of studying & conserving fish spawning aggregations in #India "Site-fidelity: place-based ecology and the case of the squaretail groupers" @LancsUniLEC @lecreefs @InsideNatGeo

👯🪸 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. pew.org/3YjH17S

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… 🌊)

Fab thread about @rindahvida's new publication demonstrating the effectiveness of 'reef stars' for increasing small-scale coral reef habitat complexity 👇🪸⭐️ Great work, Rindah! 👏 🪸 Paper link: doi.org/10.1111/rec.14263 🪸 The Conversation piece: theconversation.com/our-digi…
🚨 Exciting News! Our paper, Impacts of ‘Reef Star’ Coral Restoration on Multiple Metrics of Habitat Complexity, is now published in Restoration Ecology! 🌊🪸 We investigate how #coralrestoration enhances habitat complexity and promotes biodiversity. 1/8

🌟Fantastic debut first-author paper from @rindahvida! 🌟 Total privilege to get to supervise this brilliant work, that demonstrates recovery of habitat complexity on restored coral reefs 🪸🐠🐟 Paper at onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… & @ConversationUK piece at theconversation.com/our-digi…

Out today in Biology Letters! doi.org/10.1098/rsbl.2024.02… 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. scim.ag/6KA

Reef restoration is trending 🤩🪸
Trending in #Biology: ooir.org/index.php?field=Bio… 1) Coral restoration can drive rapid reef carbonate budget recovery (@CurrentBiology) 2) Exposure to female olfactory cues hastens reproductive ageing when mating in male mice 3) Influence of entanglement on recruitment in North Atlantic right whales 4) Newly identified nematodes from the Great Salt Lake are specially adapted to hypersaline conditions 5) Spatial heterogeneity of neo- & paleo-endemism for plants in Madagascar (@CurrentBiology)

Our recent @ConversationUK article now available in English and Bahasa Indonesia! 🇬🇧🇮🇩 If climate conditions allow (an 'if' that we MUST keep fighting for), it's possible to rebuild functioning coral reefs 🪸🐠📊 🇮🇩 tinyurl.com/2k38s5by 🇬🇧 tinyurl.com/y6ncpza3

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 royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Good news for coral reef restoration efforts: Study finds “full recovery” of reef growth is possible within four years. Read more in @CurrentBiology: cell.com/current-biology/ful… @InesLange9 @theoceanagency
