Who is next in line? Predicting which Red Sea fish will invade the Mediterranean Sea

This blog post is provided by Shahar Chaikin and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article, “Native habitat affinities predict fish invasions with post-invasion habitat shifts”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. This study tracked fish populations within their native Red Sea range and into their invaded Eastern Mediterranean range, revealing traits that drive invasion success and highlighting how pre-invasion adaptations can better … Continue reading Who is next in line?

Mediterranean corals: storytellers of the past, clairvoyants of the future

This blog post is provided by Marina J. Vergotti, Juan Pablo D’Olivo, and Diego K. Kersting, and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Reconstruction of long-term sublethal effects of warming on a temperate coral in a climate change hotspot”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, Vergotti and colleagues analysed the skeletons of the Mediterranean coral C. caespitosa and … Continue reading Mediterranean corals: storytellers of the past, clairvoyants of the future

Climate and genomic patterns in marine fish

This blog post is provided by Alicia Dalongeville, Emilie Boulanger and Stéphanie Manel and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Climate differently influences the genomic patterns of two sympatric marine fish species”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Boulanger and colleagues show how the genetic variation of two marine fish species is linked to climatic conditions across the Mediterranean Sea, suggesting … Continue reading Climate and genomic patterns in marine fish
