Are #corals moving to colder waters because of #climatechange? The answer is no, or not yet. High latitudes corals and their symbiotic algae friends have been there for quite a long time, and are different to the ones in tropical reefs link.springer.com/article/10…
This work was part of my PhD @EEIatHull @PanoramaDTP and @jsps_sns London short term fellowship hosted by @LabMise with support from @LenfestOcean #MPAshift.

Siompu Is is a “2024 reef”: lots of non-coral substrate, some structure, some erosion, some corals too, some fish, some bleaching but not all corals are bleached. Thinking of pristine reefs, I should cry, but some corals + fish + etc live! DAY1 ClimateREEFS Sulawesi expedition.

Mass coral bleaching unfolding at Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef (March 2024). These events have become “normalised” to the point where it’s easy to forget that 20 yrs ago this would have been an unprecedented and isolated event. – at Queensland, Australia

Want to study a PhD in coral demographics with me @LeedsEcoEvo ? Do life histories differ between tropical and marginal reefs? Which corals are more resilient? Looking for UK candidates (Leeds DS) or funded international candidates! @JoshAFirth @Rob_SalGo

My favorite is that in every colony of naked mole rats there are a couple individuals whose job is just to grow as large and fat as possible. During the rainy season, they will plug the tunnel entrances with their fat little behinds and save the colony from drowning.
