Excited to share our latest publication on coral walking! 🪸📽️ High-res analysis reveals how corals move and 'see' blue light to navigate. Thanks to @PLOSONE & my co-authors @DavidJSuggett, Luke Nothdurft, and @PeterPrentis! #Science #Research Read more: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Excited to have contributed to this new resource - setting a baseline for #reefrestoration terms and definitions - consistency is central to how activities scale with effectiveness and rigor.

Latest in @NatureClimate: Can coral reef restoration really save our oceans? Leading researchers including KAUST's @peixotors @DavidJSuggett and Tom Moore dive into the science behind these bold efforts, highlighting successes, challenges, and why we can't afford to wait.

Everyone has a role to play in how restoration can effectively aid in securing a future for coral reefs - our new paper @NatureClimate rdcu.be/d1S5K is a timely reminder why restoration is a much needed and uniting tool whilst we fight climate change

ALERT critical paper on coral reef restoration/conservation!!! @NatureClimate It is (sadly) easier to sell disaster than solutions... but the solutions exist (and are not mutually exclusive!) and are being continuously developed and optimized. rdcu.be/d1S5K

How to sample and analyse the #microbiome and #microenvironment of the #gastrovascular cavity of #corals. New @microsensing article headed by @ElenaBollati & DavidHughes with @DavidJSuggett & JB Raina Supported by @MooreFound animalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Summaryon selective breeding corals for heat tolerance at @ConversationUK What did we find? There is scope to assist evolution of corals with selective breeding, but we still gotta cut emissions, and fast! @Coralassist_Lab @jr_guest @adriana_humanes theconversation.com/weve-bred-cora…

Very proud of the brilliant @barbribeiro09 for being one of two top @KAUST_News researchers awarded by Falling Walls Lab to represent KAUST at the international Falling Walls competition. Way to go, Barbara!!!! Congrats to both winners! @KAUST_BESE @aeon_collective

Check out our latest paper on a novel, rapid phenotyping device that can be used across a range of different marine/aquatic taxa. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Great work @england_hadley on your first PhD chapter being published! If your interested in coral/aquatic taxa phenotyping check it out 🪸🪸🪸

We published a thorough review of coral clonal growth and a new universal model of coral clonal growth on the same day (yesterday): royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.10… library.oapen.org/bitstream/hand… Hoping they'll be useful in advancing the field and supporting practical applications

Join me in Congratulating Prof Raquel Peixoto for her appointment as the new President of the International Society for Microbial Ecology!!!🥳👏👏 @peixotors @KAUST_News @KAUST_BESE @ISME_microbes
