The double burden of climate change
A new study on the effects of climate change in five tropical countries has found fisheries are in more trouble than agriculture, and poor people are in the most danger. Distinguished Profess

Cindy grew up in France. She completed her Masters degree in Ecology at Paris 11 University. Her Master’s research project brought her to Australia in 2007 where she worked on coral reef fish ecology with Mark Meekan and Corey Bradshaw at AIMS in Darwin. She had the opportunity to do field work in East Timor with the Northern Territory Government, working with local East Timorese people to carry out marine habitat surveys for coastal mapping purposes. She realized she was interested in people and as a result decided to work in the interdisciplinary field that involves Social and Ecological Sciences. She worked as a Research Associate at the School for Environmental Research, Charles Darwin University for 3 years on applied projects using participatory research methods, like scenario planning and modelling, with a wide range of stakeholders (decision-makers, scientists, Indigenous people, cattlemen, school children etc.). She moved to Townsville 2 years ago and has been working as Research Assistant for Joshua Cinner and Nick Graham on a variety of projects looking at coral reef ecology, and the impact of fishery management on the livelihood of coastal communities.

James Cook University researchers have found brightly coloured fish are becoming increasingly rare as coral declines, with the phenomenon likely to get worse in the future. Christopher Hemingson, a
Researchers working with stakeholders in the Great Barrier Reef region have come up with ideas on how groups responsible for looking after the reef can operate more effectively when the next bleaching
A new study has delivered a stark warning about the impacts of urban growth on the world’s coral reefs. As coastal developments expand at pace around the world, a year-long study of coral on a reef
Abstract: As marine species adapt to climate change, their heat tolerance will likely be under strong selection. Individual variation in heat tolerance and its heritability underpin the potential fo
Abstract: The Reef Ecology Lab in KAUST’s Red Sea Research Center explores many aspects of movement ecology of marine organisms, ranging from adult migrations to intergenerational larval dispersal
Abstract: Macroalgal meadows are a prominent, yet often maligned component of the tropical seascape. Our work at Ningaloo reef in WA demonstrate that canopy forming macroalgae provide habitat for ad
Abstract: Sharks are generally perceived as strong and fearsome animals. With fossils dating back at least 420 million years, sharks are not only majestic top predators but they also outlived dinosa
Abstract: Connectivity plays a vital role in many ecosystems through its effects on fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes. Its consequences for populations and metapopulations have been
Abstract: Evolution of many eukaryotic organisms is affected by interactions with microbes. Microbial symbioses can ultimately reflect host’s diet, habitat range, and even body shape. However, how
Abstract: The past few years have seen unprecedented coral bleaching and mortality on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) but the consequences of this on biodiversity are not yet known. This talk will expl
Abstract: Molecular approaches have revolutionised our understanding of the systematics and evolution of most branches on the tree of life, including corals. Over the last twenty-five years molecula
