PBS NewHour special
A new PBS NewsHour special on the ocean, climate change, and fisheries aired last night, with commentary from Malin along with colleagues Daniel Pauly, Kathy Mills, Andrew Pershing, Curtis Deutsch, Paul Greenberg, and others.
Two perspective pieces in Science
Malin has coauthored two new perspective pieces in Science. The first, with Nina Therkildsen of Cornell, highlights the underappreciated effects of fishing on evolutionary dynamics within (and among) exploited species. The second, with Alexa Fredston, discusses the stark choice we
Malin to join Beijer Institute
Malin will be joining the board of the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics, part of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in fall 2022. He’s looking forward to helping to guide the institute and finding common ground between ecology and
New paper: predator-prey interactions are key to predicting fish responses to climate change
A new paper by lab members suggests that predator-prey interactions will complicate species’ ability to track their climate niches poleward in warming oceans. The upshot could be less productive fisheries in a warmer world. Former postdoc Ed Tekwa, along with
FishGlob meets!
After multiple years of Zoom meetings, postdoc Alexa Fredston, grad student Zoë Kitchel, and Malin met in person with the FishGlob consortium this past week. The working group, funded by the Centre for the Synthesis and Analysis of Biodiversity (CESAB),
New paper: how warming oceans affect Tiger Shark migration
A new paper in Global Change Biology documents how Tiger Shark migrations have shifted poleward in response to 40 years of ocean warming. Notably, this has left the species more exposed to commercial fishing as its expanded range is largely
New NSF project to develop climate impact projections for the northeast US continental shelf!
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,
McLean et al. study on shifts in thermal affinity of marine communities is available in the November 8 issue of Current Biology.
Matthew McLean collaborated with nine other researchers across Europe and North America, including Malin Pinsky, to coauthor this study on community change in marine environments. Their report appears in the November 8 issue of Current Biology. Although past studies have
Overfishing of Atlantic Cod Likely Did Not Cause Genetic Changes: Pinsky et al. paper out in PNAS
This article was adapted from Todd Bates’ press release. Overfishing likely did not cause the Atlantic cod, an iconic species, to evolve genetically and mature earlier, according to a study led by Drs. Malin Pinsky and Bastiaan Star. “Evolution has
Pinsky Lab reviews “Ocean Recovery: A Sustainable Future for Global Fisheries?” by Ray & Ulrike Hilborn
Zoë Kitchel, PhD Candidate, led a group of Pinsky Lab members (Jeewantha Bandara, Jaelyn Bos, René Clark, Dan Forrest, and Malin Pinsky) in reviewing Ocean Recovery: a Sustainable Future for Global Fisheries? by Ray and Ulrike Hilborn, available online early
