Ever wondered how temperature alters size-based feeding relationships in Southern Ocean mesopelagic fish? Have a read of our new paper in Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146…

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…

Oil impacts - how marine drilling platforms affect seabed benthic animal communities. Research from Zelin Chen Gareth Thomas NHM, Eoin O'Gorman &al. doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

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

In high sediment contamination concentration near oil and gas platforms, we showed a general decline in total species richness while pollution-resilient species dominant. Loss of larger predators and dietary specialists showed a degraded but more connected food web structure.

Congrats Dr Paddy Keith for acing his viva! Loved discussing his amazing research w/ him & Mark Emmerson. Great mentoring by Eoin O'Gorman, Dr Michelle Taylor, Phil Hollyman & Simeon Hill. And lovely to see a Sea-Unicorn STSM with @lu_pez_lopez lead to a Nature Communications paper. Bravo! 🐳🐟🦐

Super proud of Paddy Keith, my first PhD student to completion since joining University of Essex five years ago. Two great papers already (nature.com/articles/s4146…; frontiersin.org/journals/marin…), Defra UK lucky to have him for now, and a very promising career ahead. Congrats Paddy! 👏 👏

I'm looking for a 3-year postdoc to reconstruct food webs from environmental DNA and traditional approaches with fieldwork in Icelandic streams, Italian coastal lagoons, and the Celtic Sea. Part of a The Leverhulme Trust project with @stefanako71. Apply here: vacancies.essex.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru…

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/

Come join the EcoSAGE on a 3-year postdoc. Part of a bigger Leverhulme-funded project with @stefanako71 called WebDNA, which combines eDNA and traditional approaches to food web ecology.

Two more opportunities to join my EcoSAGE as an @ARIES_DTP funded PhD student: (1) studying nature-based solutions for warming impacts on rivers aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/o… (2) modelling future Southern Ocean ecosystems aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/h… Applications due by January.

Fantastic postdoc opportunity on food web ecology, based in Helsinki.

We cannot wait for Dania Albini to join the lab group. Many great things to come from WebDNA. Bring on February!!

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…

We have completed the first field work for the #webDNA project founded by the The Leverhulme Trust. We were in Italy, Orbetello, hosted by the Tor Vergata collaborators. Now it's time to start the lab work! Dania Albini Eoin O'Gorman #foodweb
