A multi-year collaboration between Eden Tekwa and the Pinsky lab group has identified a bimodal conformance pattern, associated with organism body size, that is predominant across Earth’s biomass. In the recent publication The sizes of life the research team discusses
With the announcement of the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s (AAAS) 2022 Fellows, Malin was honored for his significant contributions to the field of marine biology. The AAAS is a widely regarded, multidisciplinary scientific society focused on the
The FishGlob biodiversity synthesis group has created a database comprised of 26 public scientific bottom trawl surveys into a user interface. This is the first known database of this depth with special interest in demersal fish surveys. Collectively, the database
