Our new analysis of some of the biggest methodology issues with #marine #heatwave experiments, and some suggested improvements! HKU_Science The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU HKU School of Biological Sciences

I am thrilled to take the helm of The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU and build upon the legacy of Prof. Gray Williams in elevating Hong Kong’s premier marine institution. With the support of The University of Hong Kong and the Swire Trust - we will achieve even greater heights in marine conservation and innovation.

Zebrafish may not be the fastest learners, but with training, they can master discrimination tasks. This one is a knockout individual in an ongoing study on stress's impact on fish cognition, focusing on glucocorticoids and their receptors.

We have a PhD in my group going on freshwater algae and their responses to CO2 and acidification. Feel free to circulate! Co supervised by Nathan Kenny and Prof Susie Wood findaphd.com/phds/project/h…

The third chapter of PhD thesis is out in PeerJ Publishing ! Julie Semmelhack, Celia Schunter and I found that parental warming conditions altered the timing and duration of the brain activity response to an alarming cue in larval zebrafish. peerj.com/articles/18241/

New in Communications Biology [rdcu.be/d0CO7] with Celia Schunter Ravasi's Lab et al. on how variability in parental environment and behavioural tolerance shapes acclimation to ocean acidification in a coral reef fish! #transcriptomics #oceanacidification #climatechange 🐠🪸

Direct exposure to #chemical #pollutants can cause #transcriptional alteration on the brain of marine fish, but also sex specific #transgenerational effects are seen up to the third generation. Check it out on my first published PhD chapter! Celia Schunter sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Invasive species are one the greatest threats to #biodiversity. The problem may be made worse if hybrids are involved because they are artificially selected in captivity for fast growth, resilience and wide dietary requirements. Little is known about the scale of the threat that

My first PhD chapter is out! We explored mercy release—a growing practice of species introductions—and hybrid groupers, notorious predators. These fish prey on diverse species, risking coastal ecosystems if unmanaged.I hope this research inspires more attention on mercy release!

Releasing man-made #hybrids into the #wild? Probably not the best idea. Hybrid #groupers seem to occupy a new #niche. HKU School of Biological Sciences The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU Arthur Chung scienmag.com/hku-ecologists… link.springer.com/article/10.100…

The Sabah Grouper is a popular choice for local mercy release practices. However, researchers from HKU School of Biological Sciences and The Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) HKU have found that releasing these hybrids into the wild can disrupt local ecosystems. t.ly/tK0re
