Finally: What happens when weather anomalies push down ⏬🌊the sea-level over days or weeks? We describe Dry Tides as a new category of climatic disturbance, often associated to #heatwaves or high pressure, that leaves intertidal organisms with dry feet💀 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Today I learned that benthic ctenophora exist... and somehow I find them super cute (artist interpretation)

Published! It did change in scope since then but it shows that realistic #ALAN does not necessarily cause direct impacts, rather physiological long term ones. Epiphytes can protect the seagrass. doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.… @ArtificialGLOW @laura_airoldi @davide_deba @GiadaRiva22

What you see in this news article is not only happening because of a lack of rain, as stated in this news article, but because of a basin wide high pressure anomaly. Virtually all intertidal fauna in Venice/Chioggia died during this 19 days long Dry Tide⚠️ nbcnews.com/news/world/venic…

Perfect timing with the current #Heatwave 🌡️ in Europe: I've got a BIG article about another kind of #ExtremeWeather to share very soon (I am super excited because I went out of my comfort zone with this one). Hint:🌊⏬✅⏫🚫= 💀 Stay tuned! #ClimateChange #ExtremeClimate

Todays contender for overly clever article titles: "Insects and the city: what island biogeography tells us about insect conservation in urban areas" doi.org/10.5194/we-16-41-201…

It's incredible how two independent species can be so connected through their individual microbiotic symbionts! #holobionts doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.…

Aha! That explains why acronyms are getting worse all over the place right now!

Happy to announce that I started working as Researcher at the @Ifremer_fr at Seyne Sur Mer! I will be studying ecological restoration and eco-engineering and how we can use them to foster #biodiversity in natural and urban coastal habitats :)

Typical day with Mendeley. @mendeley_com

Eco-engineering helps little for ecol. restoration, but still increases biodiversity. Let's think differently and actually design beautiful marine urban green spaces with humans in mind! We can make these areas attractive for recreational activities and increase human wellbeing.

⚠️new paper: artif tidepools increase #Biodiversity but their community was distinct from natural habitats and prone to introduced species. We think that eco-eng. has no true value for restoration but could be considered as marine green space akin to parks doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.…

⚠️PAPER ALERT⚠️: We simulated a strong intensity heatwave in a harbor, which did...nothing! The community was unchanged, as was the metabolome of a Bryozoan. The harbor community had a high resistance to the disturbance (which is often observed for them) doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.…

A key problem: in a competitive work environment, taxonomy does not bring enough to the table. Taxon. are highly specialized and thus publish in low IF journals which hurts career prospects. Young researchers thus privilege other more 'profitable' subjects like community ecology.

Preparing a lesson on human impacts on ecosystems for an ecology course... and I might need to see a psychologist after that... at least until I can purposefully ignore/forget again how bad it really is

I love needing to have an internet connection to charge (over the span of minutes) a PDF that is on my computer... #mendeley
