Coral Biodiversity Expedition #4
To our great fortune the wind dropped slightly so we had the opportunity to survey the exposed South Eastern slope.
Coral trout spawning
Just before sunset on the night of the new moon (27 September 2011) Mike Emslie, Lyle Vail and Anne Hoggett visited a known spawning aggregation site for coral trout not far from the research station.
Coral Biodiversity Expedition #3
The lagoon at Lizard Island is pretty shallow so over spring's low tides, much of the reef is exposed. At high tide, however, the lagoon provides plenty of scope for easy-access diving.
Coral Biodiversity Expedition #2
We are here at Lizard Island Research Station, the trade winds are blowing, but this has by no means inhibited our work program.
Coral Biodiversity Expedition #1
Monitoring the relationship between coral and fish biodiversity is the focus of Dr Zoe Richard’s latest expedition to beautiful Lizard Island....
Field notes with ukelele
Dr Nichola Raihani is a scientist at the Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London and she is last year's John and Laurine Proud Fellow. She has recently completed her third annual field season at Lizard Island. During her six-week visit, she and several others formed an impromptu band and live music accompanied many a sunset, with ukeleles, guitars, harmonicas and a marimba. Here Nikki shares her experience. (Note that Nikki is excessively modest about her achievements. She already has a paper in Science from last year's field work!)
