Great work by the research team with the @montereybayaquarium.org's Sea Otter Program! You can read the full paper in Science Advances, detailing how a sea star collapse resulted in a mussel bonanza for sea otters, www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #ecosystems #MarineLife

One of my favorite papers of my career is out in @science.org Science Advances, and we're on the cover! In this study, we introduce a new ecological process called keystone interdependence, where the loss of one keystone species can extend across ecosystems to indirectly affect another... (1/8)

Our dive interns have a direct impact on kelp forest research and conservation. They play an important role in collecting data on the biodiversity and function of kelp forests, and how sea otters contribute to their recovery.

it's a hard and sad time in science / higher ed in the US right now. on the other hand, lots of PhDs are looking for work, so I wanted to share— I'm hiring a postdoc! it's a two-year position at UCSC to do (preferably Bayesian) modeling of marine ecosystems: recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF01892

I’m ✨ elated ✨ to share that I’ll be joining the faculty at UC Santa Cruz this fall as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology! My lab at UCSC will study subtidal and nearshore community ecology (1/2).

Check out this new job possibility! @ucsb.bsky.social is seeking an academic coordinator on a super exciting new GIS/data science curriculum project recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02916 #gischat #geosky

We are now accepting applications for our paid 2025 kelp forest scientific diving #internships at @montereyaq.bsky.social! 🤿 Must be a current student or recent grad (grad students are eligible!). Apply at the link below by February 7 recruiting2.ultipro.com/MON1023MBAF/... #kelpforest #ecology

Our study published today in @society4conbio.bsky.social shows that the conservation performance of marine protected areas (MPAs) accrues across ecosystems in individual MPAs and in a large MPA network. We synthesized decades of monitoring data collected across four ecosystems and found... (1/5)

Is California’s network of science-based marine protected areas (MPAs) effective at conserving marine fish populations? The answer is a resounding yes, according to a new study from the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
