Freshwater Salinization of Seasonal Ponds: High Salinity and Stratification Threaten Critical, Overlooked Habitats Nearly a century of road salt use in the snowbelt region of North America has led to substantial increases in salinity levels in freshwater habitats. Salt pollution in lakes and rivers is well charact...

Excited for our new #ES&T paper! 🧂🌊 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/... Seasonal ponds much saltier than lakes & rivers due to road salt pollution. Many exceed federal guidelines. Bottom water often 2x saltier than the surface. Salt lingers long after winter.

Excited to be alongside Kristin, Lexie, and Adrianne in this piece about tunicates and invasives and climate change.

Congrats to Danielle Moloney for a successful defense of her MS thesis! A within-site comparison of intertidal and subtidal populations of
Astrangia poculata. Go Apoc! Go SCSU New Haven Biology and the Werth Center!

It’s been great! Yendegaia kelp forests are fascinating! Definitely plan on coming back here!

Sub-Antarctic was fascinating! So many research questions. Left Williams & Arenas & now in Puerto Natales! Now Los Torres, more hikes, biology & world languages! Students are immersed in language, arts, culture & science of the areas! We had to do a plunge! Chic Expedition 2025, Yendegaia, Chile!😀

I’ve seen them multiple times…. We dive there very infrequently because it’s a pain to get past all those rocks. I have an intertidal site 100m away to the north that we assess every 4 months or so. I’ll think about the temp data some as that always comes in handy!

Nice work Aly! congrats again!

Hi Aly, is that picture with the drill at Bass Rock?

A woman stands in front of a classroom. On the screen is a presentation called: coastal ocean carbon cycle, and the potential role of macroalgae in removing atmospheric carbon dioxide PhD Defense of Manon Berger in front of the jury. Sabrina SPENCH, Présidente du jury, Professor at École Normale Supéneure Laure RESPLANDY, Rappartrice, Associate professor at Princeton University Judith Hauck, Rapportrice, Research scientist at Alfred Wagner Insbtute Paul HALLORAN, Drominateur, Professor at Exter University Laurent BOPP, Directeur de thèse, Directeur de recherche au CNRS, LMD Lester Kwiatkowski, Co encadrant Chargé de recherche au CNRS, LOCEAN David T. HO, Invité, Professor at University of Hawail at Manoa

Please join me in congratulating @manonberger.bsky.social in her successful PhD defense at @geosciences.bsky.social.

She showed that growing seaweed (macroalgae) is not an effective way to remove atmospheric CO₂. 🌊

Effective, efficient, and fair peer reviewing 2023 Effective, efficient, and fair peer reviewing Ben Bond-Lamberty Based on a presentation at the AGU Early Career Scientist Workshop, 2019 1

Scientists are expected to do peer reviewing but no one tells you HOW. After talking with several folks about this today at #AGU24 , it seems a good time to link to this presentation I made several years ago -- feel free to use/share! docs.google.com/presentation...

My son James’ first collegiate track meet at Boston University today! Way to go kid! I love you and it’s great seeing your kids do something you could never do! 😀🏃 go @SCSU Owls!

Still my favourite strand line discovery to date - a female Phronima sedentaria (‘monster in a barrel’) - Isles of Scilly, October 2023!

Do you appreciate algae? Then here’s a starter pack for you!🧪🌊🪸

Principles of experimental design for ecology and evolution Here I argue that we do not discuss experimental design, often until it is too late. This editorial seeks to begin a conversation about how and where to replicate appropriately.

I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Hi All! Please share far and wide, come join my amazing colleagues at SCSU!

Hello everyone! I'm Ellen Martinson! I'm an assist prof at University of New Mexico. I study parasitoid wasp venom and galling insects trying to unravel the molecular mechanisms behind species interactions. I'm looking for grad students and a postdoc, so please RT (or whatever the phrase is here)

I'm working on an Urban Ecology lecture for a senior-level ecology class. Mostly focused on what affects diversity, but open to organismal stuff too. Would love to hear your fave stories or papers!

Folks, please retweet. We have 3 entry level tenure track positions available here at monash. Field ecologists and experimental ecologists of any particular habitat focus and phytoplankton ecologist. careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...

We have two Prof-level posts open at IMI Birmingham:

Microbial Genomics www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DBJ457/c...

Respiratory Infection Biology www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DBJ427/c...

Deadline is 30 Sept!
