Our paper is out in PLOS Genetics! 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 Cynthia Riginos Lucie A Bergeron Sven Uthicke Gert Wörheide 🇪🇺🤘🏼🎸

First paper from my PhD is now out 🥳 🪸

Includes me too!

To be read by all... I've said it before, and I'll say it again, APCs basically bias research output and will only serve to increase the already existing inequality between those with high research funding and those (of us) without...

A helpful perspective on problems in publishing from the @jbiogeography #AssociateEditors helps explain their #WorkStoppage and, importantly, some constructive solutions for #BetterPublishing that Wiley Wiley Ecology & Evolution could adopt

Katharine Prata gave a killer talk to close out the last session on coral dispersal and our relatively sparse knowledge on the subject so far! Interesting negative trends between coral dispersal distance and densities in mostly Caribbean environments! #AMSA2023 #TeamCoral

📢New paper: Which #coral species should we underwrite with research to optimise survival in a warming world?

Great work led by Iva Popovic! Spoiler alert - the mutation rate is unexpectedly high in this invertebrate.

Authors intending to submit a manuscript to @jbiogeography should be aware that ~85% of #AssociateEditors are participating in a #WorkStoppage because of an unresolved #BetterPublishing dispute with Wiley

Now online - great job Tom Richards !

We have the pleasure to share with you the Special Issue: “Marine Evolutionary Biology” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/17524571/2…

Fantastic effort led by Eric Crandall and Rachel Toczydlowski!

Great opportunity to work with the amazing Maria Beger !

Thank you Aust Coral Reef Soc for awarding me the LIRS student award for my presentation on #eDNA monitoring in Quandamooka sea country. Thank you also to LIRRF for their generous contribution to this year’s #ACRS22 student awards 🐠

And more hybrids, but this time in corals. Zoe Meziere shows GBR Stylophora = 5 taxa with strong IBD with taxa - looks like these brooders stay home.

Hybrids and introgression in clownfishes seem pervasive. Neat stuff Chuan Lei and beautiful pictures. #ACRS22

More great talks today at #ACRS2022 . Vanessa Clark included some amazing videos of Galaxea feeding.
