1/12 🚨🚨🚨 New paper in Science Magazine Science Advances! We demonstrate the hidden, recent origins of reef fish diversity in the Miocene by leveraging genome-wide data to reveal the evolutionary history of wrasses, parrotfishes, and relatives! #science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Preprint alert! 🐠🪸 We show that rebuilding fish stocks on coral reefs can significantly increase the number of fish servings produced a year and the number of people meeting fish intake recommendations, particularly for countries with high malnutrition! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new study was just published in Global Ecology and Biogeography. We analyzed diets and distribution of reef fishes worldwide to answer a key question: In what environments do the most ecologically specialized fishes thrive? Delecambre et al. (2025) doi.org/10.1111/geb.70…

Do you own aquarium plants or animals? Would you fill out this survey to help us understand what aquarium species Canadians have at home? The survey will take only ~10 minutes - click here to check it out! surveymonkey.com/r/LP8KSTS Feel free to share widely!

So happy to hear Papua New Guinea, one of very few countries to have ever tried to mine the seafloor (with the predecessor of The Metals Company, Nautilus Minerals, which went bankrupt in 2019) is now against Deep Sea Mining at the UN Ocean Conference. postcourier.com.pg/png-opposes-de…

Want to join our deep-sea ecology team at ICM-CSIC ? We seek a PhD student to study macroecology and effects of climate change in abyssal seascapes. With focus on sea cucumber communities. Please disseminate, and if interested please contact us: icm.csic.es/en/calls/phd-s…

Our new paper reporting several new records of deep reef fishes at Australia's Coral Sea is out in Coral Reefs! Great team effort led by @fishguykai and including records made both by diving and ROVs. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Check out our new study in PNASNews. 🌈 Aesthetic value is driven by changes in temperature, productivity, habitat and human impacts 🐠 MPAs boost beauty though increasing taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity 🏝️ Tropical countries have the greatest potential benefits

🌊 20 Canadian, Indigenous and international orgs, including MiningWatch, are calling on Canada to stand firm on a moratorium against deep sea mining ahead of upcoming International Seabed Authority meetings. 📄 Full letter: miningwatch.ca/blog/2025/6/20…

Out today in PLOS Biology! We show that two major advances in fish feeding - highly protrusible jaws and large teeth - are functionally and evolutionarily incompatible with each other. Mike Mihalitsis and Peter Wainwright. Free to read: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Biodiversity surveys in the 6°C waters of Nova Scotia yielding fascinating and beautiful results… let’s see what tomorrow brings!

A new study of a New Zealand seamount finds, even after decades of damage, heavily trawled #seamounts still hold ecological value. These findings strengthen the case for permanently protecting all seamounts, not just those untouched by bottom trawling. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Call for Abstracts is NOW OPEN for Sharks International 2026! 🦈 Help shape Sharks International 2026 - the world’s largest conference on sharks, rays, and chimaeras - taking place 4–8 May 2026 in Colombo, Sri Lanka. 🔗 More info: si2026.org/participate/ca… 📸 Fabrice Dudenhofer

In our new paper, we asked: Who eats what — and where — across the world’s biomes? How does being a specialist or a generalist affect that? And what that means for biodiversity? 🔍🦓🌍 👉 doi.org/10.1002/ecog.0…

Check out our new paper in GEC showing how ecological traits can be used to rank conservation priorities for fish species within the same IUCN categories. Priorities for threatened species can change importantly based on conservation goals. doi.org/10.1016/j.gecc…
