AquaX: a next‑gen framework for mapping global marine biodiversity—better resolution, cleaner data, ML ensembles, and clearer uncertainty. It refines species distributions and projects how habitats may shift under climate change, supporting stronger evidence‑based conservation.

The overlooked introduction of the encrusting bryozoan Juxtacribrilina mutabilis to eastern Canada | Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom | Cambridge Core The overlooked introduction of the encrusting bryozoan Juxtacribrilina mutabilis to eastern Canada - Volume 105

A recent study reports a new arrival in eastern Canada: Juxtacribrilina mutabilis, a nonindigenous bryozoan threatening eelgrass, a key coastal habitat.

This study uncovers its hidden presence since 2013 + highlights the need for early detection & citizen science.

Climate change is increasingly changing biological communities posing marine conservation challenges. Irvine et al. created a climate ecological disruption index that can inform conservation efforts to “build ecological resilience in a warming world” @consletters.bsky.social‬ doi.org/10.1111/conl...

Protected doesn’t mean safe 🌡️
A new study led by Amy Irvine, with Dr. Derek Tittensor, found warming oceans could shift marine species in Canada’s east coast MPAs. Their new tool, CEDI, helps spot at-risk areas so we can plan for a warming world.

Congrats Dr. Derek Tittensor on receiving Dalhousie’s President’s Research Excellence Award for Research Impact!
This award honours major research contributions—and we can’t think of anyone more deserving. Derek’s work in marine biodiversity and global ocean science continues to make waves!
