Thanks @ICRSreefstudent for the feature on our lab! If anyone would like more information about our work, please feel free to get in touch with us!
🔸Meet the team: @FanCoralLab 🔸
The lab is based in southern #Taiwan 🇹🇼
The group works with coral community dynamics, thermal tolerance, #aquaculture, #coralreef #restoration, and marine ecology educational outreach.

#coral paper! Ever wonder how coral responses in the lab and field match up? We examined how colonies from reefs in #Taiwan responded to a heat-stress assay #CBASS & compared this to photogrammetry monitoring of colonies before/after a marine heatwave. doi.org/10.1007/s00338-024-0…

@CoralReefWatch has introduced new Bleaching Alert Levels (3-5) in response to 2023's unprecedented #MarineHeatwaves. The revised system provides additional detail to help #CoralReef managers prepare for and take action during times of extreme heat stress.

🪸 Scripps Oceanography scientists are revolutionizing #CoralReef conservation by using software to stitch together overlapping underwater images to create photorealistic 3D models of reefs that can quantify important changes, like coral growth, over time. Dive in. ⬇️ 🤿 🧵
📢 Want to learn simple techniques for feeding & long-term culture of corals 🪸? In our new paper (and 'coming soon' video) we outline straight-forward & cost-effective protocols that promote reproduction and maintenance of coral health ex situ. doi.org/10.3791/65395

Understanding how #coral & their symbionts perform under non-stressed conditions helps put responses to heat-stress in context. Check out this paper led by our lab's postdoc @CrystalJMcRae on baseline dynamics in Symbiodiniaceae hosted by corals in Taiwan doi.org/10.7717/peerj.15421
📢🪸 New paper out looking at algal symbiont dynamics (genera & photochemical efficiency) under non-stressed conditions. 15 month in-situ monitoring study assessing three coral species at reefs with different thermal histories in Taiwan. Paper link:

2020 was a tough summer for corals in Taiwan, but some reefs fared better than others - check out our new paper outlining variable thermal responses across 5 fringing reefs in southern Taiwan during an intense marine heatwave. doi.org/10.3390/app13095554
