Had a great first day at #EGU24, presenting some of my work looking at the effect of man-made structures on sedimentary blue carbon! Thanks to everyone who came, looking forward to the rest of the conference! School of Life Sciences, University of Essex Cefas The National Decommissioning Centre


Had a blast at #EGU2024 with Amy Shurety and Hugo Woodward-Rowe, and presented some work on Southern Ocean myctophid fish! Soon to be published..👀👀


Very pleased to now be the Section Lead for Ecology & Evolution at Communications Biology. Please send any suggestions for relevant reviews, mini-reviews, perspectives, or comments my way. See the journal guidelines here: nature.com/commsbio/submi…

With prey size from 10 Southern Ocean lanternfish species across 10° of latitude, Eskuche-Keith et al. show that higher temperatures were associated with smaller fish & a decrease in the size of fish relative to prey. Eoin O'Gorman @lu_pez_lopez Benjamin Rosenbaum nature.com/articles/s4146…

What habitats contribute to the nursery function of estuarine systems for juvenile sea bass? More than you might think! Have a read of our new paper in The Journal of Fish Biology as part of fsbi symposium 2023 special issue with University of Essex! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…


Learned so much from Alain Zuur & Elena Ieno this week on our course about GLMM & GAMMs with spatial-temporal data at the University of Essex. Everyone book yourself a course/buy a book! Now trying to figure out which dataset I use my precious 1-on-1 hour to discuss with them! 🤔 🤓🐟


Super excited to have received The Leverhulme Trust funding with @stefanako71 to explore how environmental DNA analysis can turbo-boost the reconstruction of aquatic food webs across habitat types and over multiple time scales. Watch this space for 2 x 3-year post doc opportunities.


Zelin Chen first PhD publication, full paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… School of Life Sciences, University of Essex INSITE lots of data analysed for this! Prof Tom Cameron

Testing the landscape theory of #foodweb architecture in a massive lake shows evidence that large, mobile predators integrate energy from different trophic pathways. Traits such as body size and foraging behavior help predict the structure of food webs esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

New research from Bangor University and School of Life Sciences, University of Essex on #bass spawn timing using #otolith daily increments...

Check out this special issue of #JFB, with great research related to fish habitat ecology in a changing climate: the theme of our fabulous FSBI Symposium at University of Essex in 2023 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jf…. Co-edited with Dr Anna Sturrock and Rui Vieira

A long overdue warm welcome to our most recent addition to the EcoSAGE: Pablo Antiqueira. Pablo is working on our Natural Environment Research Council project predicting the impacts of global environmental change on ecological networks. Read more about his research here: ecosagelab.wordpress.com/research/


Check out our postdoc Dania Albini's latest paper in Communications Biology: "Warming alters plankton body-size distributions in a large field experiment" 💧🦠🌡. Learn more on our lab website: ecosagelab.wordpress.com/2025/03/07/new…
