Recovery of reef shark populations invokes anti‐predator behaviours in mesopredatory reef fishes on a coral reef
The nonconsumptive top-down effects of reef sharks on the wider coral reef community are a topic of controversy. Our study provides an important addition to experimental and spatial evidence for reef....

My first first-author paper (my master's work) is finally out in @animalecology.bsky.social ! We found that the recovery of reef shark populations invoked anti-predator behaviours in mesopredatory reef fishes on Ashmore Reef in Western Australia🦈🐟. doi.org/10.1111/1365...

This International Day of #WomenAndGirlsInScience, the ASFB is spotlighting four of its amazing student members.
We asked them about their research, what inspired them to begin a career in science, and any advice for others considering a similar path.

🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

Oxygen supersaturation has been reported to protect aquatic animals from heat waves. We tested this in a large collaborative experiment on many species of fish and crustaceans. Our new paper in @plosbiology.org shows that the effect of hyperoxia on thermal tolerance is negligible. Unfortunately.

Bleaching on both the Great Barrier Reef and Ningaloo is a warning we can’t ignore.
The window to protect our coral reefs is closing fast and we must act now to limit warming and safeguard these iconic ecosystems.

Great Barrier Reef suffers worst coral decline on record
Reefs have been battered by cyclones and starfish that eat coral, but heat stress driven by climate change is the main cause of damage.

Thanks @zoe-storm.bsky.social for writing a great piece on our recent brook trout work! 🔥 ❄️ 🐟

Home is where the heat is (for brook trout that is)
Intrigued? Then check out this latest #ConPhys in Action piece, explaining the importance of local conditions to 🐟 temperature tolerance, and therefore for #Conservation planning.

Attenborough voice: “And now, with the return of the reef’s apex predator, we observe a subtle but striking shift…” Our new study led by @zoe-storm.bsky.social: recovering reef sharks trigger caution in mesopredators. Less feeding, more vigilance.
