Some pics from a morning hike the day after the ice storm. Amazing how bendy those birch trees are!

This week BEcoME is highlighting Joy Liu, Master's Student (and Teaching Assistant) Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science, Dalhousie University #OFI_BEcoME Ocean Frontier Institute Dalhousie University ofibecome.org/joyliu

“Nothing so boundless, nothing so patient.” It was difficult to describe Jeff Hutchings in our own words, so we borrowed some. We hope this article helps show the depth and breadth of his impact across the Atlantic. He is dearly missed. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/fa…

New paper out from my favourite Norwegian Edda Johannesen exploring changes in recruitment dynamics, actually more the lack of change, of Atlantic Cod and Haddock stocks in the North Atlantic over the last two decades. #cod #haddock #fisheries can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

The final paper in the Julie Charbonneau trilogy is out in CJFAS. In our third and final paper together (for now at least!) Julie looks at how fishing pressure interacts with the age structure across 43 harvested marine fish stocks. cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

New paper out from our man Raphael, he integrates Sea scallop seafloor habitat data in the Bay of Fundy directly into his spatiotemporal stock assessment modelling framework. The habitat data exists thanks to the wonderful SEAM lab run by @CraigBrown_Dal academic.oup.com/icesjms/articl…

The Oomen Lab UNB Saint John is officially funded by CFI / FCI NSERC / CRSNG & nb_innovation!🥳 We're recruiting fully-funded MSc & PhD positions in marine fish ecology/evolution/genomics.🐟🧬 Mentoring philosophy & more information: rebekahoomen.com/join.html Please RT!

New paper out from another of Joanna Mills Flemming‘s gaggle of students. Nathan Hebert’s paper shows how various spatiotemporel modelling approaches provide similar predictions, yet the relationships with enviro predictors may differ significantly b/t models. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Well folks, here’s my (hopefully) big one – the culmination (but not the end!) of an area of research I’ve been pursuing for awhile! We developed a framework to unify the relationships between eDNA, numerical abundance, and biomass: doi.org/10.1002/edn3.7…

Shout out to both of my followers, we have a new paper out that shows if you want to understand population demographics you actually need demographic data for the population. Life history alone does not cut it, likely because your environment matters. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…
