My second PhD paper has been published! doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolind.20……! Using the entirety of the reef survey datasets from @NUSReef collected by the various members across 35 years, we found that taxo and phylo diversity can increase while functional (trait-based) metrics decline.

We collaborated with international partners during a week-long workshop on ReefCloud, an online, user-friendly platform developed by @aims_gov_au that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assist with monitoring coral reefs. #TheMoreYouKnow #ReefCloud noaa.gov/ai

We also show that while species- and genus-level data were both sufficient to distill general trends, some information is lost at higher diversity reefs. Species-level data also allowed us to update taxa in old surveys to their modern identities.

Lastly, we also highlight the importance of long-term monitoring at the same reef locations and depths to ensure accurate data is available for creating baselines, informing management decisions and addressing the future of these reefs.

Great thread on our new paper by @Koskinonodon about the skewness in citations of large scale analyses vs primary data, among other things. Nothing that would surprise you unfortunately....

This #Paleobiology paper (led by Jansen Smith & @mauritiantales) came out a few days ago, but I want to bump it because I think it's really important for best practices around data reuse in #paleontology Paper: doi.org/10.1017/pab.2023.33 My blog: t.ly/NR6Nm 🧵👇

Some are stubborn optimists. Others struggle with despair. Their faces show the weight they carry as they witness the impact of climate change.
