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
Ryan gave at talk at the ASLO meeting on February 25 in Grenada, Spain, “Long-term changes in North American coastal communities.” Malin presented a poster at the Kavli Frontiers of Science meeting in Jerusalem on February 24. Jim talked on
From Patrick Flanagan, Ph.D student in Oceanography, while doing fieldwork in the Philippines last week: There’s not much to listen to while scuba diving… mostly your own bubbles, and the Rice Krispies pops and crackles of coral-munching fish and disgruntled
Malin got interviewed today for the evening news on New Jersey public television (broadcast at 6, 7:30, and 11pm). The Stellar’s sea cow may be gone, but there’s much we can do to avert future ocean extinctions. This is on
