Was just sent these great informative short videos about research being done to understand how climate change affects coastal communities. Coastal organisms live in areas with much day to day variation. There are the changing tides, the amount sun exposure, and also shade from tidal zone seaweeds and rock crevices. This makes coastal animals, like . . . → Read More: California Coastal Climate Change Research

My new paper in the journal Ecology will be coming out in April on the regulation of biodiversity in the deep sea.

Enter the sieve. It is a marine biologists best friend, saving hours of sorting and enabling quantification of fauna. In fact you can get these miracle workers at McMaster-Carr for a mere $40-50.

So grab a cup-o-joe and read on! The extremes of the physical deep-sea environment (temperature, pressure, and lack of light, low food) are more than a challenge for deep-sea organisms. Unfortunately, there is one more-disturbance. In ecology, hypotheses for how biodiversity is maintained generally fall into two categories, . . . → Read More: 25 Things You Should Know About the Deep Sea: #14 The Deep Sea Is Not Stable
