Australia makes a BIG decision for endangered and CITES-listed black teatfish (Holothuria whitmaei). Harvest and export from the Great Barrier Reef not permitted! A rare movement to protect at-risk invertebrates on our coral reefs #seacucumber #fishery #conservation #proud

The December 2021 issue is out! This special issue was conceived to improve our understanding of sea stars, and is dedicated to two superstars of asteroid biology and ecology: Professors John Pearse and John Lawrence. 🔗doi.org/10.1086/718198 📸 Dr. Ciemon Caballes @CoralCoE

Catch them while they're young! Our Crown of Thorns project exploring natural predation at their earliest benthic life stage is off to a great starrrrr-t. Cute but delicious 🌟🍴 Amelia Desbiens Peter Mumby Sven Uthicke Dr K-le Gomez @GBRFoundation

The dulcet tones of echinoderm expert & general hero, Kenny Wolfe, speaking about why you should care about an “ugly” teatfish 👌 abc.net.au/news/2022-02-1…

Excited to see our paper on CoTS juveniles out so quickly: Coral species available change when juveniles transition to a coral diet! Great study led by Rachel Neil and Dr K-le Gomez ..done at SeaSim Australian Institute of Marine Science rdcu.be/cLMVh link.springer.com/article/10.100…

💡NEW PAPER 💡 In our new research in Ecology Letters we found that the same two stressors applied to an ecosystem under different conditions could either amplify or mitigate each other’s impacts. #OpenAccess link: doi.org/10.1111/ele.14… 1/5

We have some exciting news on novel predators of the crown-of-thorns starfish (#COTS). Our work in progress on new allies of the reef Amelia Desbiens Peter Mumby @GBRFoundation Check it out at: facebook.com/greatbarrierre… OR linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Certified rubble master Kenny Wolfe rounding out a great first day at #AMSA22 with exciting new research on key predictors of coral rubble composition & associated cryptofauna from microhabitats to seascapes

The 2022 ACRS Reef in Review magazine is out now! This year’s magazine is a special edition celebrating 100 years of Australian coral reef science, centering on the past, current and future of our ACRS community. Check it out on our website or link here! issuu.com/australiancora…

Low salinity deleteriously affects #CrownofThornsStarfish larvae at levels they likely encounter in #GreatBarrierReef runoff plumes. Consider this in future models linking terrestrial runoff effects on COTS larvae with outbreak events. #FeatureArticle bit.ly/meps_696_1

Ever wanted to see a Crown of Thorns starfish eating coral? Over the last couple of weeks there have been two COTs hanging around and putting on a show. 📷Dr Caitlin Alinya Lawson

We find evidence that metamorphosis and survival of newly settled crown-of-thorns starfish may be constrained under near-future ocean warming.

Is something MISSING from your life? Could it be the complete guide to coral rubble dynamics?? This started as lil lit review ~7 y ago to convince Peter Mumby to take me on as a student, & it’s morphed into this beautiful beast! doi.org/10.1002/lno.12…

Our new paper in Ecology and Evolution reveals patterns in the movement and biomass of some of the tiniest communities on coral reefs, and what this might mean for future food webs Amelia Desbiens Peter Mumby onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…
