Our lab is awesome! We spent the afternoon low tide together, including collecting seaweeds for functional trait measurements. It was Noahβs first time sampling, & he got to use the dynamometer to measure attachment strength of this *massive* specimen of *Gelidium robustum*. @hannahhall.bsky.social

How do we move toward generality in linking intertidal biodiversity to ecosystem functioning? Seaweed functional trait measurements! We use light tables to measure traits such as surface area & perimeter. #PhycologyFriday @intertidaleco.bsky.social @hannahhall.bsky.social @jngriffy.bsky.social
