We are so proud of @eadamczyk8! She is delivering a beautiful exit seminar right now for @UBCBiodiversity BLISS. Three chapters of multisite, multiyear subtidal field surveys and an experiment to understand seagrass associated biodiversity in BC. Congrats Emily!!

A year of heatwaves, flooding & wildfires is making it clear that humanity is interconnected to natural systems. New work from #UBC’s Dr. Mary O'Connor & colleagues calls for more explicitly incorporating feedbacks into #biodiversity research & policies bit.ly/3FMXG8I

So excited to see this article out! A first step (more to come!) of John Cristiani’s thesis work to model connectivity of seagrass-associated animal communities that ‘Reveals Regional Patterns of Seagrass Habitat Connectivity' frontiersin.org/article/10.3… @UBCBiodiversity @ZoologyUBC

Ever wondered if seagrass meadows support biodiversity and marine life just by being there? They probably need their neighbors! Animals move among meadows, but not all over the place - likely in regional neighborhoods! protecting a meadow can benefiit a region!

Please RT and spread the word @ProjectSeagrass we're looking to get more evidence of the links between seagrass and #seabirds documented in seagrassspotter.org

If @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris are serious about #science they will nominate a stellar (and diverse) Science Team -- soon. @BarackObama nominated his team in mid Dec 2008 (as depicted by @TheEconomist )

So proud of this talk by our own @EvgeniyaYangel! An outstanding talk based on her Master’s research - an experimental test of the spatial insurance hypothesis for microbes in a warming environment. Part of an excellent collaboration w/ @JoeyBernhardt @thompson_pl & Laura Parfrey

This work focuses on bacteria and is a part of a bigger experiment led by @thompson_pl and @mioconnor testing Spatial Insurance Hypothesis for multitrophic aquatic metacommunties!
