Antagonistic Effects of Light Pollution and Warming on Habitat‐Forming Seaweeds Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) is an emerging global stressor that is likely to interact with ocean warming to affect ecological functions. Seaweeds are dominant habitat-forming species in temperat...

Artificial light at night and warming impact grazing rates and gonad index of the sea urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing threat to coastal habitats, and is likely to exacerbate the impacts of other stressors. Kelp forests are dominant habitats on temperate reefs but are decl...

This is my first first-author publication, and one I am super excited to share! Here, we manipulated artificial light at night and warming to investigate impacts on sea urchin grazing and growth rates, with co-authors Mariana Mayer Pinto, Maria Byrne and Ziggy Marzinelli.
