We’re excited to share that the report from our workshop on “Evolutionary Resilience for Kelp” is now online here. Participants included the Monterey Bay Aquarium, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Ocean Visions, Puget Sound Restoration Fund, Audubon California, and
Jaelyn has returned to the US from three months in northern Mozambique, where she studies genetic variation in corals in collaboration with Lurio University! She and her dive partner, Antumane Árabe, collected more than two hundred samples of Acropora divaricata
Malin has joined the author team for the National Nature Assessment, the first federal synthesis of the state of the nation’s lands, waters, and wildlife, and the benefits they provide to our economy, health, climate, environmental justice, and national security.
POSITION DESCRIPTION The UCSC Center for Coastal Climate Resilience (CCCR) at the University of California, Santa Cruz is holding an open competition for three (3) Postdoctoral Fellowships. CCCR Postdoctoral Fellows will work with faculty mentors from two (or more) disciplines across the
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
In a new paper just out in Nature Ecology & Evolution, we argue that conservation for corals (and likely many other species) needs to explicitly plan for evolution to survive the effects of climate change: Paper here Press release here
We are very excited to announce the launch of our project website: futureblue.net. FutureBlue is an online database and mapping platform designed to make projections of future ocean conditions (species distributions, wind speed, oceanography, etc.) available and useful for the
Two new papers from the lab discuss how best to understand, and to mitigate, the effects of climate change by applying ecoevolutionary theory. The first, published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution (doi: 10.1016/j.tree.2022.04.011) proposes that dominant ecoevolutionary processes for
With $750,000 in funding from the National Science Foundation, we’re excited to be starting a new partnership with The Nature Conservancy, University of Connecticut, University of Massachusetts, the Responsible Offshore Science Alliance (ROSA), University of Wisconsin, Rutgers Equal Opportunity Fund,
Ed Tekwa (postdoc in the lab) led a study just out in PNAS, “Path-dependent institutions drive alternative stable states in conservation.” We hear almost every day in the news about environmental disasters, but the world is also full of many
