Unmasking the Sea Star Killer After a decade of carnage, we finally know what’s devastating sea stars along North America’s West Coast. Does that mean scientists can save them?

We are so proud of our sea star wasting work that came out today. This interactive article is very complete and includes beautiful videos.

Most work on eco-evo dynamics has focused on how ecology depends on (and drives changes in) population trait means. But what about trait variances?

Super proud of my technician representing the lab and presenting all our cool new projects at Jelly Camp at the National Aquarium. He even made his own jellyfish hat!

Immensely impressed with this resource!
