What fish can you find swimming between the algae in the rocky intertidal zone of Breiðafjörður? 🐟
Are these fish impacted by seaweed harvesting?🌱

Multiple Early Career Faculty Positions in Ecology The Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for multiple, tenure-track assistant professor positions that will enhance existing institutional excellence in ecology. We are searching broadly for creative and collaborative individuals (1) working at any spatial scale, from local to global, in any system, (2) studying any level of biological organization, from genes to ecosystems, and (3) using any mode of inference, from empirical to theoretical. Applicants should demonstrate research excellence that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries; ongoing growth in the department will emphasize new hires that use quantitative and/or integrative approaches to study ecological processes. Postdoctoral experience is desirable in applicants. Successful candidates will engage with and benefit from UNDERC, Notre Dame’s 8000-acre environmental field station and home to NEON’s Great Lakes domain, superb on-campus chemical and genomic analytical facilities, an experimental research facility located close to campus, cross-disciplinary interactions through multiple centers and institutes including the Environmental Change Initiative, and a unique Interdisciplinary Graduate Training Program in Environment and Society. New faculty will benefit from Notre Dame’s recent campus-wide Strategic Framework that included the Just Transformations to Sustainability Initiative. Modern research facilities exist in a new environmental research building, which opened in 2025.

New paper out! 🐟🌿
We studied intertidal fish communities in Iceland & the effects of Ascophyllum nodosum harvesting.

Juvenile gadoids relied on these habitats and harvesting showed subtle effects on fish size & diet.

I was quite confident on my knowledge of marine biodiversity in my area (I have a PhD in marine biology after all).

But today I learn about Paromola cuvieri, one of the largest crab species of the Northeast Atlantic, that uses its last pair of legs to carry live specimens of sponges and corals 🦑 🌊

Global Fishing Watch – Illuminating Vessel Activity On the Open Ocean Having fish for dinner tonight? Ever wondered if anyone is monitoring where it's coming from?

ESRI recently published our Global Fishing Intensity layers in #ArcGISLivingAtlas, providing a summary of fishing vessel activity worldwide from AIS tracking data that can be imported directly to ArcGIS. Raise your hand if you want to see more GFW data made available in ArcGIS

We're hiring a Research Fellow at Edinburgh Napier University to join the SharkScape project, a three–year, multi-institute project involving field-based research and data analysis.
