New research led by @alicetrevail.bsky.social combines tracking data to show the value of large marine protected areas in encompassing diverse megafauna movements 🐢

Photos of a reef manta ray, red-footed booby, and a hawsbill turtles with biologging devices attached to them. The journal logo is also featured, alongside the article title and author list. Some text reads: "Tracking data reveal that very large marine protected areas offer protection for mobile marine megafauna including benthic foragers (turtles), pelagic planktivores (manta ray), and oceanic predators (seabirds)".

How can beauty be measured? Find out how a team of marine scientists have devised a way to measure the beauty of coral reefs in order to aid restoration and sustainable tourism practices in this new article, co-authored by Dr Tim Lamont of @lec-reefs.bsky.social for @uk.theconversation.com 👇
The beauty of coral reefs is key to their survival – so we came up with a way to measure it
Researchers found that photos of restored reefs were rated just as beautiful as those of healthy reefs.

I have a fully funded open #position for a PhD student/postdoc in marine #biogeochemistry. As part of the MARBEDS project, we are seeking someone to study seafloor fluxes and their interactions with microbial communities in biodiversity hotspots.
🧪⚒️🌊
Contact me if you want more details.
Open position for PhD student / Postdoc in biogeochemistry For a fully funded four-year project exploring environmental and ecological dynamics in the Mediterranean and Red Sea, we seek a top tier PhD student or postdoc. The project aims to understand the formation and persistence of biodiversity hotspots, especially in light of global climate change and local stressors. The ultimate goal is to gather insights across different organizational levels, from molecular, organismal, and community to habitat structure and biogeochemical pathways, in order to construct comprehensive models that forecast the future dynamics and fate of these ecosystems under changing conditions. This position would be focused on a key aspect of this project – the variability of seafloor fluxes and their interaction with the microbial community to facilitate the habitability of shallow (up to 40 m) and mesophotic (up to 200 m) biodiversity hotspots such as reefs. Interested candidates, please contact by email Dr. Or Bialik (obialik@ocean.org.il) or Prof. Eyal Rahav (eyal.rahav@ocean.org.il) with a letter of motivation, CV, and contact details of at least one referee for this post not later than the 28th of August 2025.
