The movement of water is important for all coral reefs but #hydrodynamics are particularly strong and influential for reef fishes on unique habitats like #pinnacles and #seamounts New research in @aslo_org @dave_hambright @WalindiResort @mahonianadari doi.org/10.1002/lno.12…

It's a persistent and exceedingly damaging myth that government can't afford to properly invest in environmental protection and repair. Here I explain why and how much better things could be, *if* our government had a change of heart theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #Budget2023

@SeanPGrace Made them myself :)

@SamPayetFish This is great, did you put these together or are they commercially available?

Genetic sampling kits destined for recreational and commercial fishers that are far better at finding fish than me. Great to see their interest in pop-gen and fisheries research.

Nice paper from Ben Scoulding and colleagues in the US, UK and Australia testing a combined acoustics & optics survey method for snapper abundance in a closed area doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Very disappointed to see more and more journals move to 'gold standard' open access models exclusively. @MethodsEcolEvol is now off the list for me since I can't justify spending $3,500USD on a publication. Shame given it was historically a great journal.

📢New publication:- eDNA is NOT one thing, but is composed of different states !! Our new publication tests various methods to isolate and analyze the membrane-bound, dissolved and adsorbed states of environmental DNA #eDNA. doi.org/10.1002/edn3.4…
