Happy to announce our ❗recent OA publication❗ in Ecography, selected as Editor’s Choice! We revisited 34 kelp forest sites to assess climate-driven shifts in kelp structure and distribution. Overall, warm-temperate kelps are increasing, while some cold-temperate species are in decline. vist.ly/55kj2

Temporal shifts in kelp forest structure and distribution largely reflect recent ocean warming trends vist.ly/55kj2 #KelpForests #OceanWarming #SpeciesDistribution

A detailed map illustrating the distribution of various kelp species around the coasts of Cornwall, Isles of Scilly, and Lundy Island. Includes pie charts representing regional mean coverage of each species.

Life in deep-sea caves is usually dark… usually. Meet the aptly named golden glow zoantharian (Corallizoanthus aureus), which was spotted living on corals in deep-sea caves near Japan. What’s special about these tiny critters is that they glow.

Any ECRs (must have PhD by deadline) want to chat about joining my group at Bangor? Get in touch! Maternal effects, stress, sociality, thermal ecology and intersection of all the above… we cover a broad behavioural/ecological/physiological remit and are interested in adding skills to this portfolio!

Winters are warming faster than summers, which could affect hibernating ectotherms, but it turns out that wall lizards cope well with warm winters & mini winter heatwaves, although they suffer more DNA damage, so the effects of warm winters may be concealed journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/...

Happy birthday to #botanist Isabella Aiona Abbott (1919-2010), 🧪🐡👩🏻‍🔬 #histsci renown algae expert, celebrated seaweed cook, devoted teacher & mentor, expert on Hawaiian ethnobotany, 1st Indigenous Hawaiian woman to earn a PhD in science & 1st woman or person of colour to become a full professor on 🧵

Linocut portrait of Isabella Aiona Abbott in indigo on cream coloured paper. She’s facing forward at a table in a shirt and sweater vest with a sheet with algae samples on the table. In my print, she is surrounded by algae of the Pacific, all of which appeared in Abbott's research publications, including several species she discovered, or based on images of specimen she personally collected or whose traditional use as food she documented. The algae are in pinks, khaki green and rust.

Made in Manchester and Leigh: Kathleen Drew-Baker (1901-57), a star botanist at the University of Manchester, made breakthroughs in cultivation of seaweed that saved Japan’s multi-billion pound sushi industry, for which she is commemorated there as ‘Mother of the Sea’. 1/6
