Our paper on chromosomal inversions in Acropora kenti is out today in Molecular Ecology. Inversions are cool and important! Great work by @jiazhangjia and collaboration with @dorkyM @CRiginos @JanStrugnell @LineKBay @mattfield100 or onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

Excited to see this paper led by @kepra3 out in @RSocPublishing, inferring generational dispersal distances of corals using a reefscape genomics approach: doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… @UQscience @calacademy @reefscapegenomx

Dreamjob alert !!! In my research group, the position of a permanently employed staff scientist is available. The position includes both research and teaching (in German). Please RT Deadline: 25.08.24 More infos: shorturl.at/k9cM7

I am thrilled to share my last contribution on squat lobster taxonomy!!! This was the result of an expedition funded by @MCZHarvard and a work in collaboration with @reef_combo, @island_evo_lab and @ggiribet. Check of article in Marine Biodiversity 👇link.springer.com/article/10.100… 🧵

We are hiring! If you’re looking for a change of academic scenery consider one of the best unis in a biodiversity hotspot.

For all people who struggle with academic writing, Loisa Lagisz and I share our experiences and secrets, which helped 50+ students publish their first papers. Please share with your colleagues! @Trends_Ecol_Evo paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… preprint: osf.io/preprints/osf/… 1/4

Our paper is out in @PLOSGenetics! We show that outbreaking crown-of-thorns sea stars have unexpectedly high mutation rates, similar to mammals and other low Ne species. A true interdisciplinary effort with @CRiginos @LucieABergeron1 @suthicke @gwoerhe t.ly/hoAGm

Save the Dates! Reef Futures 2024-December 9-13, 2024 at @iberostar, Riviera Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Reef Futures is the premiere global conference focused solely on reef restoration. We are excited to partner with Iberostar ’s Wave of Change as the local host. #reeffutures

My lab is currently looking for 2 post-docs. 1: environmental memory and resilience in oysters, 2: comparative genomics and epigenetics across marine taxa. Ad coming soon, reach out if interested. For more info on projects at faculty.washington.edu/sr320/research…

POSTDOC IN COEXISTENCE THEORY FOR CORAL REEFS available in my research group here at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama, as part of a three-year Smithsonian-funded project on biodiversity maintenance in reef coral assemblages (1/2) (Please retweet!)

@MWClimateSci @Nature @threadreaderapp unroll

I’ve handled the review of > 1000 papers at @nature. Over time, you notice aspects of presentation on which reviewers tend to comment. In the interests of minimizing hassles during review, I offer the following suggestions (a bit targeted to climate papers).

🪸📢If you are interested in the work of @Coralassist_Lab, listen to our recent podcast! @LiamLachs and I discuss our research and the future of coral reefs: podcasts.ncl.ac.uk/fromnewcastle/… Thank you @fromNCLpodcast for the opportunity to talk about our work!

Interested in corals, their symbionts, and/or copy number variation? Then come join my lab @WarwickLifeSci! We have fully funded PhD positions available through @CENTA_NERC and @MIBTP1. Details: tinyurl.com/mrxnvx9s

Sci Hub is a "pirate" website with 88M research papers freely available. Using it is not advisable. We should all try to make billion-dollar acdemic publishers richer. Here's a thread on integrating Zotero with Sci Hub to get free articles. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS 😉

Please Tweeter, make your magic🛫 We want to spread this survey as much as possible within people working on coral reefs 🪸 🐠 If you are one of those, we are exited to hear your thought and suggestions 📝 If not, please just retweet this @reef_combo @Sarah_TheSea @anariesgogil

bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Our publication on bryozoan Hox genes has been published. Great work done by @ahmedjoudahnass with aid of @kmkocot André Luiz de Oliveira
