Looks like tropical vagrant fishes cause some crowding that pushes them and residents to less preferred habitats. Nice use of 3D mapping to address a range expansion question Tom Taylor. USYD MSI Sydney Science Sydney Uni Life&Env dx.doi.org/10.1111/maec.1…

Just went through a presenter practice session for the Australian Marine Sciences Association (AMSA) 2021 virtual conference which is happening in a few weeks. How cool is this? Very excited! Still time to register: amsa2021.amsa.asn.au/onlineregistra… AMSA-NSMSS 2024 Conference Australian Marine Sciences Association




Finally made it back to One Tree Island Research Station for Sydney Uni Life&Env coral reef biology course. Full moons, night snorkel and lots of field science. Group 1…done! Group 2, you’re next! USYD MSI Sydney Science


One of Australia's most friendly + iconic fish 🐟the Eastern Blue Groper 🐟has been found using threatened #OysterReefs🦪as a potential juvenile habitat! Check out our ‼️ new paper ‼️ in Ecology here: doi.org/10.1002/ecy.38… Ecology 1/2 Katie Erickson Will Figueira Paul Gribben



See what you can learn by watching a few hundred hours of videos! Great work Christopher Pine. USYD MSI Sydney Science

How excited are we Sydney Science USYD MSI to welcome the newest member of the One Tree Island Research Station team...baby Lukas! Congrats Ruby and Heinrich...can't wait to get back to paradise and meet the little dude. #WorkLifeBalance!!!!


2nd group of Sydney Uni Life&Env Coral Reef Biology 2023 is underway One Tree Island Research Station. Lots of food and wonderful reefs...what more can you want? Thanks for all the help including Christopher Pine Emily Mclaren, Matt Clements, Heather Sowden. Thankful to have dodged the cyclone!



Excited for the release of the most comprehensive ecological review of Gamay (Botany Bay) to date, identifying knowledge gaps & research opportunities. Read it: sims.org.au/research/flags… IanPotterFoundation Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation Will Figueira @DRGRIB Prof Martina Doblin Dr Katherine Dafforn @DrWilliamGlamore


HUGE effort from Katie Erickson to inform us on how to most efficiently get fish assemblage data out of our unbaited oyster reef videos. A lot of advantages to using MeanCount in these situations! peerj.com/articles/15426 Dr Ana Bugnot USYD MSI Sydney Science Sydney Uni Life&Env

We're looking for an ecosystem modeller to join the Gamay Project and help us better understand the complex ecology of Botany Bay. Spread the word! @SydneyMarine Paul Gribben Dr Katherine Dafforn Prof Martina Doblin Dr William Glamore Jamie Ruprecht seek.com.au/job/67729875?t…


We’re hosting an exciting Science Week event. Come join the conversation about traditional ecological knowledge and marine science in Gamay (Botany Bay). Thanks @InspiringNsw NationalScienceWeek IanPotterFoundation @SydneyMarine and La Perouse LALCLocal for helping make this happen.


First paper from Chris Cooney PhD thesis and it’s a cracker! Great work Chris, @ZiggyMarzinelli and Brigitte Sommer. I’m proud to have been involved.

Our little slice of heaven on the Southern GBR has been hit hard this year (bleaching like much of the reef) by elevated ocean temperatures. Be back in 2 weeks...hoping to see some recovery. 🤞One Tree Island Research Station University of Sydney Sydney Science USYD MSI fb.watch/rkfjVXS3TU/


Some great work by Josie Chandler and team. 4k video workflows to image 40+ conlonies per dive and predict 3D surface area from rapid 1D field measures for a wide range of corals! Coral Reef Ecology Lab Deborah Burn Dr Peter Doll Agus Piccaluga Abby Johnades. rdcu.be/dS0NY


Thanks to ABC News, Scout Wallen and Jasmine Hines for shining a light on One Tree Island Research Station. 50 years of outstanding research with University of Sydney but it’s been a tough one for the reef. Sydney Science Isabella marrable abc.net.au/news/2024-11-0…
