Erica Gies’ article in Hakai Magazine on how (and whether) marine conservation can keep up with climate change, with quotes from Will White (Oregon State) and Malin: https://www.hakaimagazine.com/news/designing-marine-protected-areas-in-a-changing-climate/
Our new paper on extinction risk in marine and terrestrial species is out today in PNAS, “Range contraction enables harvesting to extinction” [free preprint here]. Led by Matthew Burgess at UCSB, the research shows that shrinking distributions puts many animals
It is tempting to try to guess which species will be the winners of climate change, and which the losers. But our new paper in Trends in Ecology and Evolution suggests that we should avoid doing that when we design management
Ed was at the EcoSummit conference in Montpellier (Sept. 1) to present “Why do fisheries evolve different harvest rates?”. The conference theme was Engineering Sustainability, but covered a wide range of sustainability topics. Also a nice chance to drink some
Multiple PhD and postdoctoral positions in climate change ecology and evolution Three postdoctoral positions and one PhD position are available in the Pinsky Lab at Rutgers University to work on climate change ecology and evolution in marine ecosystems. The positions
Doug McCauley’s video about our Science paper last year on the loss of marine wildlife just won 3rd place in the Ocean 180 Video Challenge! As picked by 6th-8th graders around the world. Just announced this week at the Ocean
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
We’re looking for good Ph.D. applicants! We have a Ph.D. position open to research marine metapopulation dynamics using field work combined with population genomics. Our research group has interests in marine ecology, population genetics/genomics, climate change, biogeography, dispersal, and fisheries.
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
Malin talked yesterday for an hour with Marty Moss-Coane from WHYY’s Radio Times about the marine defaunation paper we had in January (interview here). Boris Worm (Dalhousie) joined the conversation as well and was a wonderful addition. He’s a very
