Photos from last field season now online
Took a while to get through all the photos from May/June fieldwork in Leyte, Philippines, but Michelle just posted a few highlights on the Photos page!
New paper: connectivity helps corals
Baby corals disperse with ocean currents, but does this matter for their response to climate change? Our new paper in Global Change Biology with Joanie Kleypas suggests yes.
Climate change, wealth, and a fishy example
With a great set of co-authors, including Eli Fenichel at Yale, we just published a paper in Nature Climate Change showing how to measure the impacts of climate change on wealth. Our previous work, including this, has shown how climate
Come see us at Ocean Sciences!
Nearly the whole lab and many collaborators will be at Ocean Sciences in New Orleans next week talking about our work! Monday, 9:30-9:45am, R02: Talia Young, “ME11A-07: How Are Fishing Patterns and Fishing Communities Responding to Climate Change? A
Projecting the future of the ocean
It is difficult to make predictions, especially about the future, as the saying goes. However, there’s important science to be done trying to reduce those uncertainties for life in the ocean. We have a new paper out today in the
Breeding like rabbits doesn’t work for fish
We have a new paper out in Proceedings B, “Fishing, fast growth and climate variability increase the risk of collapse.” Analyzing data from fisheries around the world, we show that patterns in the ocean are nearly the opposite of those
Dive slates become plates
It’s hard to believe that we’ve already been in the Philippines for over a week! Four fifths of the Pinsky Lab is here to conduct a census of clownfish and their host anemones. After two full days of travel by
We’re in Leyte
Field season #2 on our NSF RAPID grant to study coral reef ecosystem recovery from Typhoon Haiyan in Leyte, Philippines. We’re continuing benthic cover, fish visual surveys, and invertebrate surveys, but our main focus is on clownfish metapopulation dynamics and
NSF Coastal SEES grant announced
The news about the Coastal SEES awards is now official: http://www.nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=132637. We’re excited to get started on the collaboration with Kevin St. Martin, Eli Fenichel, Simon Levin, and Bonnie McCay! We’ll be focused on adaptation of fish and fisheries to
News from Leyte, Philippines
Pinsky Lab Phillipines is closing down after a great summer season! We (Michelle and field assistant Gerry Sucano) collected 540 clownfish samples and performed fish and coral transects on 600 m of reef off the western coast of Leyte. While
