Led by Patrick Pata @andreas_novotny with a dynamic group of Canadian grad students UBC Science UBC Oceans (also found at ubcoceans.bsky.social)

Pelagic Ecosystems Lab CIEE-ICEE @andreas_novotny UBC Science UBC Oceans (also found at ubcoceans.bsky.social) I am very thankful to this outstanding group of Canadian grad students and post-docs for such a wonderful CIEE-ICEE Pelagic Ecosystems Lab working group week!👏 We had so many impressive discussions about zooplankton and traits. Looking forward to future stuff as we #thinklikezooplankton 🎉

And that is a pearl fish ladies and gentlemen - this little fishy thinks sea cucumbers assholes are the perfect place to call home x.com/Keeper90538583…

Poster with Pelagic Ecosystems Lab is up at #aslo2023. Session this Thursday afternoon but would love to chat whenever about everything zooplankton, marine connectivity, and functional ecology! 🌊 🦐 🪼🦑 #aslo23

Had an awesome time diving at Sa Dragonera marine reserve just right before #ASLO2023. Glad to have seen this side of Mallorca! Patrick Pata #ASLO23

Fantastic plenary talk by Daniel Pauly Sea Around Us | Bluesky: @seaaroundus.org at #ASLO2023 on the challenges and solutions to rebuild the abundance of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Pelagic Ecosystems Lab UBC Oceans (also found at ubcoceans.bsky.social) #ASLO23

I mayyy or may not start my presentation with this 🐚👀 Catch me talk about a promising new #eDNA #metabarcoding marker that targets gastropods tomorrow! (Fri, 16:15, Sta Catalina) 🥲🌈 #ASLO2023 Owen S. Wangensteen

Immensely proud of Hidayah “Super Yaya” Mushlihah for presenting her master’s study on reef crustacean biodiversity at the #APCRS2023! 🪸🦀🦐🦞 Napakahusay! Congrats! 🥹🎉 FIKP Unhas 4D-REEF #ARMS Dino Ramos

Guy Shrubsole Lost Rainforests of Britain Field Studies Council Emily Watt Thank you Andrew Torres for a super interesting talk on how he has been revealing the diversity of marine snails, slugs and nudibranchs with DNA - 🐌🧬 ”A novel eDNA metabarcoding marker for characterising gastropod diversity in marine environments.​“
