Paper alert: Marine fish communities cycle between homogenized and differentiated states through time
A new paper led by (now graduated!) Ph.D. student Zoë Kitchel is now out in PLOS Climate. Using data from all around the world thanks to the FISHGLOB international consortium of researchers, she shows that marine fish communities are not
New podcast: How Shifting Marine Ecosystems are Upending Life
Malin appeared on Nate Hagen’s “The Great Simplification” podcast today, and had a chance to talk through the links from ocean warming and deoxygenation to fish physiology, fish on the move, seafood, trade, and even conflict, plus the science and
Hosting Dr. Strombom (NOAA): managing fisheries on the move
We are honored to host Dr. Evelyn Strombom this week, Knauss Fellow at NOAA Fisheries. She is out in Santa Cruz to develop new management approaches for adapting to fish and fisheries on the move. Lots in common to talk
Congratulations to Dr. Kyra Fitz!
On Monday, Kyra eloquently defended her Ph.D. dissertation, “Conservation genomics of marine fish populations,” and passed with flying colors! Her committee included Drs. Kristen Ruegg, Julie Lockwood, Christina Bergey, and Malin. Chapters 1 is published (Fitz et al. 2022 Evolutionary
Up to 48% of species are being replaced in locations with rapid temperature change
Striking evidence from around the world and across species: up to 48% of species are being replaced per decade in locations facing the fastest rates of temperature change. Species assemblages with limited access to microclimate refugia or that face stronger
Remotely sensing microclimates on coral reefs
A new paper in Coral Reefs led by Ph.D. candidate Jaelyn Bos shows how new satellite remote sensing products can capture important aspects of fine-scale microclimates (1 x 1 km) on coral reefs. These results set the stage for more
