One of my rare favourites from mesophotic depths at various locations across the Indo-Pacific. Exciting new species Walindi Resort 83 m (272 ft) depth. Also noted at depths exceeding 160 m (525 ft) 🤓 fascinating stuff 🧜‍♀️

It took a lot to get here, but so grateful to be back in Papua New Guinea doing research and seeing (some) healthy reefs, what a relief!

A garden of delicate coral is sheltered from storms in the lee of a nearby peninsula in Kimbe Bay, New Britain Island, Papua New Guinea.

The Coral Triangle has approximately 28,200 square miles of coral cover. These reefs support over 2,200 species of coral reef fish, more than 200 of which are found nowhere else on Earth. #CoralTriangleDay Photo by David Doubilet from the Kimbe Bay Hope Spot

Talk uploaded and ready to go for the late afternoon session at #ISBE2022 (16:50 in C1) Thanks fsbi for the travel grant to get here, first few days have been wonderful!

More Kimbe research, #macroalgae this time and Kelsey's first first author paper. Awesome job Kels! publish.csiro.au/MF/MF21349 Spatial patterns in the cover and composition of macroalgal assemblages on fringing and nearshore coral reefs James Cook Uni @CoralCoE Mahonia Na Dari

My MSc research has finally been published!🐠 Excited to share this work examining social hierarchies and rank change in #clownfish on Kimbe Island rdcu.be/cW0xG Thanks to all the co-authors especially @HugoBHarrison and Michael Berumen Reef Ecology Lab Red Sea Research Center, KAUST

1. We studied (Lucía Yllán Theresa Rueger Marian Wong & Siobhan Heatwole) the effect of social context on rank behaviour using 15 groups of Clark's anemonefish (Amphiprion clarkii) in the reefs of Kimbe Bay #PapuaNewGuinea #AnimBehav2023 @asab_tweets Animal Behavior Society
