🐟 A massive effort by @loic-patanegra-scz.bsky.social, who compiled eDNA from across the globe, expanding our understanding of where fish live.
The second chapter of my thesis has been published ! We gathered eDNA data from campaigns all over the world to see how we could expand known geographic and ecological niche ranges :)
Global species records often underestimate marine #fish distributions. @loic-patanegra-scz.bsky.social &co show that #eDNA surveys significantly expand known geographic & ecological niche ranges, revealing hidden #biodiversity & improving predictions @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/47yRnEk

Functional diversity shapes the stability of reef fish biomass under global change

👉 Trait diversity and redundancy drive stability; human impacts reduce it.

Why do we fear some animals more than others? 🕷️🐍🐊

Check out our study in @peopleandnature.bsky.social with @karlzlr.bsky.social on danger and fear in shaping human biophobia. Fear isn’t just danger—social & cultural factors matter!

🐡 Paper alert 🐡 by @conorwaldock.bsky.social Mismatches and trade-offs exist between the nutrients potentially available in fishes and those caught.

🐡 Paper alert 🐡 A lack of crucial data prevents assessment of IUCN ExtinctionRisk for most species of Marine fish. We used machine learning to infer a 12.8% extinction risk for marine fish species, surpassing existing estimates plos.io/4dXJh9O

Reposted by Nicolas Loiseau

Our last publication in Science Advances shows that the reef fishes most at risk of extinction are receiving less scientific and public attention.

Let’s balance our focus to protect all marine life !

We are opening our call for Biodiversity Synthesis projects at #CESAB in the beautiful, Montpellier 🌈, France

Up to 4 groups will be funded for 3 years: 5 (1 week) meetings + 24 mth postdocs !

Generic synthesis: bit.ly/4aC3fW6

Thematic synthesis: bit.ly/4aeEMq2

Please like and share, thx.

40% of reef fishes not benefit from Marine Protected Areas ! top predators benefit the most, but rare large herbivores experience negative effects.

Clearly illustrates how trophic structure is not well accounted for by current MPAs.
