Tras hablar del impacto de los incendios submarinos, hoy viajamos con @danigomezgras.bsky.social
a mares más lejanos🌊, para visitar impresionantes arrecifes tropicales y conocer la amenaza del blanqueamiento de corales, que pone en riesgo su supervivencia 🌡️ ecomandanga.wordpress.com/2025/07/28/o...
It has been a pleasure having you in the lab! 😊

My research stay at @biologiaub.bsky.social is over and I could not be more satisfied and grateful for these 5 months.
Thanks to the great mentorship of @danigomezgras.bsky.social and @cristinalinares.bsky.social, and the warm welcome of @medrecover.bsky.social's team.
Fins a la pròxima, Barna!
¿Has oído alguna vez hablar de los #incendios submarinos?🔥🌊
Hoy, @danigomezgras.bsky.social de
@medrecover.bsky.social nos explica las consecuencias ecológicas y el impacto de este fenómeno, cada vez más intenso y frecuente, en los corales mediterráneos 🌡️

🧵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. 👇

Of course, incredible job! ;)

The studied assemblages were mostly dominated by #gorgonians and #blackcorals. They were structurally complex, functionally diverse and well-preserved, harboring some of the #densest black coral populations reported to date.

Exciting news! I’m thrilled to share that my MSCA Marie Curie postdoc proposal has been granted! I’ll be joining the macroscopelab.com at MARE/ @cienciasulisboa.bsky.social
to study the functional vulnerability of global coral fauna. Looking forward to this new chapter!
