Some #corals may resist to extreme #thermal events in #marginalreefs. This seems to be the case of Montastraea cavernosa in a Southwestern Atlantic reef along 2013-2019. Check it in a recent paper at MERE with @gui_o_longo @MarineEcoBR @peldiloc 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.…

Since 2016, the Coral Trait Database (coraltraits.org) has contributed to the advancement of coral reef science. However, data on #octocorals —key components of coral ecosystems— was missing... until NOW!🎉 The Octocoral Trait Database is here!👇 rdcu.be/d6qpy

ALERT critical paper on coral reef restoration/conservation!!! @NatureClimate It is (sadly) easier to sell disaster than solutions... but the solutions exist (and are not mutually exclusive!) and are being continuously developed and optimized. rdcu.be/d1S5K

There are more captive tigers than wild tigers on Earth. A study of the genetic diversity of captive tigers finds that they are not more inbred than wild tigers but do not represent a reservoir of genetic diversity that has been lost in the wild. In PNAS: ow.ly/hFjM50TwgA3

📢🪸Adaptation to thermal histories governs differences in coral heat tolerance between reefs, whereas within reefs, variations may instead be a result of genomic variations. Check this new article by @MelissaNaugle et al.! nature.com/articles/s43247-0… @SCU_Australia @aims_gov_au

New paper out in @GlobalChangeBio! We used a combination of field experiments and time series to show how important recovery feedbacks on coral reefs break down in the reef landscapes left after marine heat waves, compared to after tropical storms. doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17504
