Guess what? New study by Natalia Roos @FilhoFrancini Guilherme O. Longo and colleagues shows that protecting nursery areas without fisheries management is not enough to conserve the most endangered parrotfish of the Atlantic Ocean. nature.com/articles/s4159…

From the field to a #globalwarming simulation in the lab. Will the tough #Siderastrea cope with a "hot" experiment? Stay tuned to find out 🤓

Besides its incredible biodiversity, the Parcel de Manuel Luís has hundreds of shipwrecks. No wonder the place is known as the Brazilian Bermuda Triangle. Photo: Leo Francini

Who's gonna win the fight? The successful #invasive #suncoral or the #tough #siderastrea? Can #oceanwarming change the outcome of this fight? Stay tuned as we figure it out! 🤓

Happy to share my #firstpublication and #firstauthor paper that has just been published in Scientific Reports🤩🥳🎉"Coral distribution and bleaching vulnerability areas in Southwestern Atlantic under ocean warming". Access here:👇 doi.org/10.1038/s41598… and follow the thread🤓🧵

While more than 10k people die every week in Brazil due to Covid, Brazil's health minister dances with someone dressed as coronavirus. We've been living in dystopia, and I'm so tired.

New paper by Natalia Roos and Guilherme O. Longo showing that social media can help fisheries monitoring, and that recreational and artisanal fisheries can exert complementary pressures on fish 😲 All of that through a low cost method! 👏 Go team!🤓💪🐟🎣 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aq…

Doing science in the third world means you need to work with the available resources, if any. Going to the field in your own car, buying lab material from your pocket, relying on Sci-hub, fighting bureaucracy and doing miracles everyday. You need to be 4x4 everyday, all the time.

A day as a parrotfish! Can #oceanwarming alter recovery rates of coral areas affected by #parrotfish bite scars? Field and lab experiments will help us figure it out! 🤓

Paper from LeoCapitani PhD thesis Pós Graduação em Ecologia - UFRN Marine Ecology Lab UFRN | Brazil on the functional response of herbivore-algae interactions IN THE FIELD out Oikos! Fish eat less when it is crowded likely because they end up fighting!🤜🐟Herbivory is context-dependent! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/K…

How much algae can a herbivorous fish graze in one minute? It depends. It depends on how much food there is and how many other herbivorous fish are present. doi.org/10.1111/oik.08… Wiley Ecology & Evolution Nordic Society Oikos#ecology #reef #ecosystem #herbivory #surgeonfish #Acanthurus #seaweed

Happy to contribute to the cover of OIKOS relative to the excellent paper led by Leonardo Capitani: Resource-to-consumer ratio determines the functional response of an herbivorous fish in a field experiment
