We (@rowanwhittlebas.bsky.social; @jdwitts.bsky.social; @huwiceandstuff.bsky.social ; @egmitchell.bsky.social and Andrea Manica) used ecosystem complexity (measured as non-random pairwise co-occurrences of taxa and metacommunity structure) as proxies to assess ecosystem health in latest Cretaceous.

New paper alert! 🚨 rdcu.be/entY4 In the second paper of my PhD, published today in Scientific Reports, we investigated the spatial ecology of two solitary scleractinian coral morphotoypes, which are likely Caryophyllia or Flabellum, from the Powell Basin slopes of Antarctica 🇦🇶 .

How do you monitor ocean processes and ecosystems over a long time period? 📢 Introducing the Western Core Box (or WCB for short!) WCB is a @bas.ac.uk program of observations about ocean processes and marine ecosystems near to South Georgia.

“I spy with my little eye” - spy-hopping is when a whale raises its head out of the water. These humpbacks were taking a look at us and giving us a view of their barnacles. #BIOPOLE2 @bas.ac.uk @biopole.bsky.social
