As well as being important for science, the seaweeds in our collections provide endless opportunities for art and creativity. Their colours and textures preserve well in Amgueddfa Caerdydd's storage. #BotanicMonday #SciArt

Yesterday I finished painting this watercolour of a Spiral wrack, Fucus spiralis seaweed. This will be part of a new collection of illustrated seaweeds found in Cornwall. #seaweed #botanicalillustrator

Functional diversity declines with environmental stress at local scales as over-dispersion is lost. bit.ly/329qV3H @treevineseaweed Alizée Mauffrey used a novel trait-database and community data to re-examine classic zonation patterns on rocky shores. Check it out!

Still Thursday but who cares, here’s my #PhycologyFriday entry. #biodiversity poster made by me and two stellar University of British Columbia grad students, Kelp Fiction & Jacelyn Shu. Still haven’t sent to printers...3yrs later. (Puts back on to-do list) Beaty Biodiversity Museum 🐳

One of my favourites. I mean, just look at that branching pattern 💕

Our unique 15 km2 (!!) field experiment showed how large-scale #kelp canopy loss affects multiple trophic levels, including commerically important, long-ranging fish in Norway. doi.org/10.3354/meps13… Havforskningsinstituttet UWA Research Thormar

Why macroalgae forests are progressively declining? Chronic and cryptic pollution might be the cause for at least the Mediterranean Sea.

Today's #MuseumsUnlocked topic of the sea is perfect for our marine biologists Amgueddfa Caerdydd. They look after our collections of marine invertebrates and carry out research into the diversity of seabed life, describing new species of marine bristle worms and shells!

Looking forward to #WSN2020! Beside making me discover the latest research in marine science, I hope it will make me feel less disconnected from the world in these times of lockdown and isolation.

Love me some frilly sugar kelp!

This is so cool, who knew Clyne Woods in Swansea harboured an undiscovered species?

Congratulations to all #HarperPrize shortlisted ECRs. Special shout-out to Alizée Mauffrey with @treevineseaweed for making the list with paper on seaweed functional diversity✌🏼🤞🏼

So glad that the paper I wrote with @treevineseaweed and John Griffin on #seaweed functional diversity has been shortlisted for the #HarperPrize! I'm also happy to help seaweed ecology get more recognition out there, because those gooey beauties deserve it! bit.ly/3vcuwdX

Happy #PhycologyFriday! Some local San Diego and Northern CA intertidal beauties! #algae #seaweed #macroalgae

This is adorable! Cutest thing I have seen in a while
