Symbiosis is restructured after mass bleaching 🪸
-bleaching is a coral taxon-specific “ecological opportunity” to restructure your symbionts
-4 resilient reefs 💪 identified that did not bleach even w high heat
-boom of heat tolerant 🔥symbionts in environment after bleaching
Quote Tweet
[@la__cientifica] & colleagues show changes in symbiont variability under extreme heat events varies across coral species, driven by symbiont taxa that are lost under the heat, rather than from new symbiont taxa gained by the coral.

Warming temperatures on the Great Barrier Reef may prove a surprisingly effective weapon against one of its biggest predators. James Cook University researchers have found warmer water is killing off the Crown of Thorns starfish. 7NEWS.com.au @LizzyAboud #7NEWS

What an inspiring read! ⚡️🔥 Reclaiming "radical".
Radical steps get to root causes of climate change (such as capitalism), they're not "extremist and reactionary activity [...] or new and untested techno-fixes."
Might have to get some quotes tattooed 👇

🚨Predation on reefs! 🚨🐠🍴🦈😱
Predation is key for ecology (and exciting!).
But it's also very hard to study, because it only takes a few seconds.

“Some corals with 'memory' of heat stress may be more resilient & Pocillopora may become more abundant”
Interesting findings from latest research! We 💙 seeing our alumni continuing to produce great research to understand impact of #climatechange on our reefs. #ACRS22
