It’s #CoralReefAwareness Week! 🪸 Reefs play vital role in the tropical ocean food web. It's up to each of us to help protect them. 👉🏽Find out how you can support #ReefSolutions: whoi.edu/reefs/

🎉 After years of work, our new paper is accepted in Journal for Nature Conservation 📷 A follow-up to our previous study on coral reef soundscapes published in RSOS, exploring fish sounds in MPAs in Moorea 📷sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #Ecoacoustics #MPA #CoralReef #Fish

The paper is out! 🎉 📢 "Highlighting the resilience potential of marine protected areas in the face of coral bleaching with passive acoustic monitoring" ✅ Open access & online now! 👉 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

Look what we've done to our planet. Just LOOK! 1.1 billion hectares of forest GONE since 1900!

From sunlit coral reefs to 300 m in pitch-black depths, fish communities sound different, and we’ve captured it.sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @RaickXavier @UniversiteLiege

A record surge of sargassum hit the Caribbean in May, with more on the way. The thick seaweed is smothering coasts from Puerto Rico to Guyana, hurting tourism, killing wildlife, and releasing toxic gas that shut a school in Martinique. 📹 Reuben Bradshaw

I'm happy to share some great news with you—our article on using PAM to assess the resilience of marine protected areas has been accepted for publication in Royal Society Open Science! It’s a wonderful way to start the week.

The video of our amazing experience in Alaska is now on line! allaboutbirds.org/news/in-alaska…

I would like to highlight the work of my student, Helena Castro Sanchez. It is quite uncommon for a master's student to deliver two poster presentations during a three-month @Cornell internship. Congratulations to her on this impressive achievement!

This past weekend was Global Big Day, an annual celebration that engages tens of thousands of participants around the world in a love of nature and the critical practice of participatory science. Team Sapsucker—including our team in Alaska. 660+ checklists and nearly 500 species.

Worldwide Soundscapes: a synthesis of passive acoustic monitoring across realms is finally on-line: doi.org/10.1111/geb.70… 🥳

Congrats to Helena for 3 great months at the @Cornell Yang Center and your first group presentation! It’s been a pleasure to supervise you—now on to the final 2 months of remote work before your thesis defense! 💪🎓

Congratulations to my former master's student Julien Campisi on the acceptance of our article in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science! The paper explores acoustic niches and how fish share the soundscape in mesophotic reefs. 🐟 🐠 🐡 Well done! @EricParmentier7 @ULiegeRecherche

#NoMowMay has begun! 🌼 The rare chance to help nature by doing nothing.

Are you ready to dive into a shocking revelation? The world's plastic pollution crisis, which is choking our oceans, littering our landscapes, and even infiltrating our bodies, has a surprisingly small number of masterminds. Yes, just 56 companies are responsible for over half of…

Amazing how many species we can see from a single spot—37 species in just three hours, without moving! @CornellBirds We're ready to head to Alaska!!! 🐦🐦‍⬛🦅🦆🕊️#accessiblebirding

🎉 The Sapsucker Social is here! 🎉 Join us this Tuesday (4/29) at @Cornell @CornellBirds: 🪶 Big Sit birding from 11 AM–2 PM 🎈 Sendoff celebration at 3 PM We’re heading to Alaska soon for Spring migration — come celebrate with us! 🐦🐦🐦🐦 #Bigday #birds #birding
