The research was led by Dr. @MengyangZhou (@UConnMarineSci) and Dr. @mtyka (@Google) and co-authored by (in addition to Dr. Yankovksy) Drs. @AliciaKarspeck, @matt_c_long, Scott Bachman, Tom Nicholas, and @_david_ho_ of @_CWorthy 👏👏👏 nature.com/articles/s4155…

😌Tem interesse em se aprofundar nos diversos subcampos da ecologia e passar por uma formação interdisciplinar com módulo teórico e prático? Vem aí mais uma edição do Programa de Formação em Ecologia Quantitativa. Mais informações em breve!

Learn more about our open PhD position!🌊🦠Chat with me if you are excited about marine microbes + numerical modeling + experimental evolution. ALL students encouraged to apply! Please DM me if you can help spread the word at local universities in Texas.

@su_leles @UTAustin Congrats, Su!!!!

I am so excited to share that I will be joining the Marine Science Institue at @UTAustin as an assistant professor in August 2025! 🥳 Our lab will focus on plankton & climate change, from cells to ecosystems 👩🏽‍🔬 👩🏾‍💻 Recruiting a PhD student, please help spread the word! 📢

In this new paper, we quantified and compared the extent of warming-related community turnover (thermophilisation) in temperate freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems around the world. 🧵(1/7) @imrankhaliq9, @christian_rixen doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

We're hiring a postdoc to work on tree-ectomycorrhizal mutualisms! We are looking for someone interested in working empirically (experimentally or w/ field observations). While some project ideas are listed, we welcome all other ideas in this system, too! recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/JPF02772

Signatures needed! The (FY25) Budget Request pending before Congress recommends a devastating 75% cut to the funding line for harmful algal blooms and hypoxia, putting people, projects, and partnerships at risk for termination. Signing is quick and easy: forms.gle/4HVeQT49fj7nhb…

📚 The @SFIPress’s latest project, “Foundational Papers in Complexity Science,” republishes 88 influential papers, providing contemporary insights into the field’s origins and evolution over the past century. From entropy to computation, these papers explore the fundamental pillars shaping our understanding of adaptive systems across biology, computation, and culture. ⚡ The first two volumes are out and available for purchase now, and the third and fourth volumes will be available this summer. santafe.edu/news-center/ne…

4/ these results are important to understand bloom dynamics in the future and how climate variables will affect these ecological interactions.

3/ we found cool genotype and target specific antagonistic effects, but overall we found that Alexandrium inhibited growth rates more under combined warming and OA!

Will negative interactions of toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium on other phytoplankton be worse under climate change conditions?! 1/ The answer is yes! With @planktonomics GihongPark and stellar REU student Diana Castellanos! authors.elsevier.com/a/1iymw5aloFjN… 🧵

@Matt_Sasaki @UML_Biology Go Matt!!!!! Congrats uhulllllll

Dr. Paola Batta-Lona, Assistant Research Professor in our department, was interviewed about her research in zooplankton molecular ecology, career journey, and experiences as an international researcher in the US. Read all about it here: buff.ly/3P9wBTB.

We have a 2-year postdoc position to classify phytoplankton from images and analyse time series. We are specifically looking for experience with machine learning / image classification, not necessarily in ecology/phytoplankton. Please share!

Moving beyond #Arrhenius to embrace #unimodal #scaling of biological rates with #temperature - new paper w/ #JosefGaren in @Ecology_Letters shorturl.at/fpy45 @UBCBotany @UBCBiodiversity @ZoologyUBC @ubcscience @sfiscience

Why are scientific papers so lacking in metadiscourse? Upon reading a older review, several paragraphs had a sentence of the form "...will be described as follows." This really helps both the author and the reader focus on specific parts. Is it lack of space? Changes in style?

New in @Ecology_Letters w/ @JennSunday and @mioconnor! We find that temperature-dependence of competitive ability (R*) is cold-shifted relative to population growth rates ✨competitive success is highest at temperatures that are sub-optimal for growth✨ doi.org/10.1111/ele.14…

Come think about ocean plankton dynamics with me here at the University of Liverpool! I have two open 3-year postdoctoral positions focusing on:
