Please RT this - we at INVASAL are very open to support people from a wide range of research areas.

I wish the news was better but we know what we need to do. It’s time we do it!

In today's last keynote, we hear from Prof Christina Hicks who talks about fisheries and nutrition, and the societal phenomena behind fish as barely a source of protein - climate change, economic inequalities, and many more! Here is one of the key takeaways.

New paper out - led by Friederike Clever with other co-authors including Dr. Jade M. Sourisse Laetitia Wilkins (Megaptera helvetiae) Matthieu Leray and many others "The gut microbiome variability of a butterflyfish increases on severely degraded Caribbean reefs" nature.com/articles/s4200…

Extinction :( One of the world's largest freshwater fish the Chinese paddlefish has just been declared officially extinct - declined from abundance to #extinction over a few decades due #overfishing & #dams - read more about it here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_p… #fish #hydropower 🐟🐟

The gut microbiome composition of the coral-feeding butterflyfish across Caribbean reefs is more variable at degraded #reefs. These microbiomes have a lower abundance of Endozoicomonas and a higher diversity of anaerobic fermentative bacteria 🪸🐠 nature.com/articles/s4200…

Our paper is out Communications Biology disq.us/t/49jkxd5 finding significantly more variable gut microbiomes on degraded reefs in a Caribbean butterflyfish, led by Dr. Jade M. Sourisse and me /w Matthieu Leray Richard Preziosi Laetitia Wilkins (Megaptera helvetiae) Jonathan Eisen & others Smithsonian Panama Ecology & Environment Research Centre @ManMetUni Ecological Genetics & Conservation Lab

NEW PAPER: Net negative nutrient yields in a bait-consuming fishery doi.org/10.1088/1748-9… via IOPscience w/ @JohnDDriscoll Fisheries are supposed to yield nutrition for people, right? This US lobster fishery CONSUMES more edible nutrients (via herring bait) than it yields.

One week left for applying for this fully funded PhD position within Arctic fish ecology and molecular ecology. Please RT

Very nice to see that our new paper is featured Communications Biology with a photo from fieldwork at Bocas del Toro, Panamá 🔗 nature.com/commsbio/ Dr. Jade M.

📢#TEO is back!! Our online talk series starts again. For the next 6 month we will present you every 2nd Monday of the month talks related to tropical ecology with speakers like Owen Lewis @owentlewis.bsky.social Max Tercel Bárbara Freitas. We will start next Mon at 3pm (CET). soctropecol.eu/content/teo-tr…

Stocked to have received the Royal Society Research grant to perform pilot experiments on coral exometabolomes at the criobe_pf in collaboration with Hédouin Laetitia! Any masters student fancy doing field work in #Moorea #FrenchPolynesia and laboratory work at University of Plymouth? PM me!

I am slowly recognizing that the common theme of this #istmobiome workshop is fish poop Smithsonian Panama @LaylaEEB Matthieu Leray MicroEcology Lab

Preparing the pictures/style/format for my lectures is taking 10x more time and effort than preparing the content 🤣

High dietary versatility allows fish to persist on degraded coral reefs but reduced body condition and growth may compromise the maintenance of populations. Responses differ between species. Feedback on #preprint welcome! Led by Friederike Clever Smithsonian Panama

📢 Exciting News!📢 Marine Research Plymouth is now accepting project proposals for our fully funded 2025 PhD studentship! This is a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with experts from MBA - Marine Biological Association, Plymouth Marine Lab, and University of Plymouth. #PhDOpportunity #MarineResearch @plymbiolmarsci
