New paper with Amy Shurety Örjan Bodin explores a simple approach to quantifying complex #system structure along two orthogonal dimensions of connectedness: doi.org/10.5751/ES-135… permitting comparison of different #networks + #hierarchies (heterarchies) using common measures.

After listening to the inspiring work done at Cefas at the #CefasPastAndFuture conference, I am grateful to be one of their students 🐠

Who’s ready for the next @ARIES_DTP E3i Open Mic Session? This time we’re talking impactful research 🎤 Jen Lockett from Plymouth Marine Lab will be showing us a few handy tips and tricks to bring about meaningful change from our PhD research. Join via Zoom on 10th May at 3pm

Such a great week at the International Society for Ecological Modelling Conference in Toronto. I am feeling motivated after hearing about all the research being done across the globe ! 🌍 #ISEM2023

Wonderful to have nearly the whole Pyramids team together today for the first day of the SMMR conference in Bristol. Lots of productive discussions so far, looking forward to the rest of the conference over the next 2 days #SMMRConf23

Loved Pint of Science this week ! Learning about deep corals of the Galapagos made even better by a glass of wine in hand ! 🪸Dr. Jess Gordon Can’t wait for next year already 🍺 Pint of Science UK #pint23

School of Life Sciences, University of Essex cleaning up at the University of Essex Research & Impact Awards! 🍾🥳 Congrats Eoin O'Gorman, @DrAndreaMohr1, Alex Dumbrell & the whole #OceanTravellers team! Stoked our 2022 The Royal Society #SummerScience exhibit, film & game were played & enjoyed! essex.ac.uk/research-proje…

First day at the IIASA for the YSSP programme. So grateful to be able to spend the summer here. Its a career dream come true ! 💫

South Africa, Ghana and Nigeria represented at IIASA in this years YSSP program ! I am grateful to be able to connect with inspiring African scientists 🌍 National Research Foundation of South Africa IIASA @ainaifedotun Caesar Agula

We're excited to welcome the #YSSP2023 cohort to Laxenburg! 👋 Throughout the summer, Young Scientists Summer Program participants will work with top IIASA researchers on #SystemsAnalysis, #biodiversity, #ClimateChange, & more! #YSSP 🌟 Our 2023 cohort➡️ iiasa.ac.at/early-career/y…

Congratulations to this year's o-fish-ial winners of the highly competitive #FSBI2023 fish quiz! Expertly ran by Joe, Paddy and Amy! 👏 ...now go get some zzz if you're on tomorrow's spawning run!

Amy Shurety used classic stomach content data to create foodwebs for each site in North Sea, found that Predator/Prey mass ratio inc with SST and with fisheries catch #FSBI2023 @fsbi2023 fsbi

Another really interesting paper from Amy Shurety on large scale changes in pred:prey mass ratio induced by warming/fishing in N Atlantic.. @fsbi2023

Today was my second time presenting at the fsbi conference. A great opportunity to highlight my research to such an inspiring network of scientists ! 🐟🐠

And that’s a wrap on the FSBI 2023 conference! Such a great week of science and I loved being a part of the local organising committee 🐠 until next year ! fsbi Cefas School of Life Sciences, University of Essex Dr Anna Sturrock #FSBI2023

Good work from a German ad agency which reads "protect the wildlife before it's too late"

Our labs website is up ✨

Introducing our lab "chatta box": Amy Shurety is a network ecologist from South Africa. Her project investigates large scale spatial-temporal variation in food web dynamics in the Northeast Atlantic. She is extremely passionate about the marine ecosystems, especially nudibranchs!
