New OA paper out! We present the most accurate coral d18O-temperature equation, reconstruct coral trophic dynamics in the Med for the first time, and show #Cladocora skeletons are key archives for reconstructing anthropogenic warming and impacts.

Gave a seminar at IATS-CSIC to introduce my PhD on the climate change resilience of the coral Cladocora caespitosa (UndResCoral project), supervised by @diegokersting.bsky.social and @cristinalinares.bsky.social. Grateful for the chance to share ongoing work and discuss ideas with colleagues!

🧵Can marine restoration lead to ecological recovery?

🌊Success is often assessed by short-term survival of transplants, but what about long-term changes in community (trait) composition?

We studied this for a key Mediterranean octocoral. 👇

Active restoration of a long-lived octocoral drives rapid functional recovery in a temperate reef
After a decade, a community with restored red coral nears the functional structure of natural ones.
