PhD Candidate

Jeremy Horowitz is a PhD candidate supervised by Tom Bridge, Bob Pressey, and Julian Caley. His research uses black corals as a model system to investigate how drivers of speciation change in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, and the implications for conservation of these less considered, deep habitats.

Tracking baby fish for better reef management

A group of Australian scientists has created the world’s first computer model that can accurately predict the movements of baby coral trout across the Great Barrier Reef.The study confirms the i

Fussy fish can have their coral, and eat it too

Being a fussy eater is a problem for reef fish who seek refuge from climate change on deeper reefs. But, scientists discovered, the coral that these fussy fish eat can support them.The study was l

New tool reveals climate vulnerability of World Heritage properties

Australian scientists have created a world-first tool that can systematically assess climate change risks to all types of World Heritage properties: marine and terrestrial, natural and cultural. Ther

Multi-level governance and complex environmental change in Indonesia’s tropical peatlands

Abstract:Developing global environmental policies, and implementing these at a local level has proven extremely challenging. I will present research using ethnographic techniques and multi-level

Mapping the genomic seascape of environmental adaptation

Abstract: Recurrent bleaching events since the early 1980’s have led to enduring ecosystems changes throughout the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea and the increasing frequency and intensity of

Understanding and influencing human behaviour to bolster conservation of coral reefs

Abstract: Conservation relies largely on the ability to influence behaviours and ensure rule adherence. Yet, noncompliance in conservation contexts is common. For instance, poaching regularly neg

The neurobiological mechanisms through which elevated CO2 affects cephalopod behaviours -Confirmation seminar

AbstractProjected near-future ocean CO2 levels alter behaviours that affect survival, such as predator escape and foraging, in marine invertebrates. However, the mechanisms responsible for these e

Exploring eco-evolutionary dynamics to predict the future of coral reefs

Abstract:The long-standing paradigm that ecology and evolution play out on different timescales is increasingly challenged by recent studies that show real-time interaction of the two. Similarly t

The changing face of Marine Park Management: adaptive management of marine and island habitats in the Great Barrier Reef

Abstract: The declining condition of many habitats in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area means marine park managers have to take a different approach to management. Managers can no longer rely

Photosymbiosis in the Palaeozoic: the origin of MCEs and Devonian bleaching

Abstract: Photosymbiosis is the main driver of reef development because it enhances calcification rates, thereby allowing corals to grow in oligotrophic environments. The reefal systems of the Palae

Investigating the ecological drivers of coral and human diseases across the tropics

Abstract: Disease transmission is a natural process that helps shape the ecology and evolution of all organisms on Earth, yet, the burden and distribution of disease outbreaks is changing at an alarmi
