A bit late but excited to share our new paper exploring how seabird nutrient inputs influence mangrove food webs! 🐦🌿 @entropie-marinelab.bsky.social @lec-reefs.bsky.social @iomarinescience.bsky.social Open access: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Still hope for coral reefs. Using 28-years of data in Seychelles, we find reefs recovering 4-5 years faster from the 2016 bleaching event, than they did after 1998. Also, a reef that had regime-shifted to macroalgae for over 15 years, is recovering to coral. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🚨New paper alert! With an amazing group of collaborators, we explore potential indicators for assessing the impacts of island restoration on nearshore tropical marine ecosystems (plus it's my first senior author paper - a mini milestone!). Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
