#LSU CC&E's Seascape Ecology Lab researches how complex marine communities respond to global climate changes, & how best to conserve resources. Students can learn about coral reefs, modeling, & population connectivity. Check out @DrDanHolstein 's lab: seascapelab.com

#UndergraduateResearch is happening NOW in the Seascape Ecology Lab. Wanna study #corals? Get in touch!

New paper today! Using coupled hydrodynamic and epidemiological models to understand the spread of #SCTLD in the Caribbean. #coralreefs #coraldisease frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Ok this got RIDICULOUS really fast: Here's a two-year-old baby M. cavernosa eating pieces of leftover turkey... some findings: 🍗they're super into it 🍗like seriously they scarfed it 🍗very fast rebound in order to eat EVEN MORE TURKEY Video is 30x speed

From the Archive: @DrDanHolstein "Mesophotic research is, by its nature, difficult and technical. Strong collaborations allow us to become multi-disciplinary researchers & are the backbone of exploring #mesophotic complexities" Seascape Ecology Lab LSU College of the Coast & Environment mesophotic.org/posts/16

Awesome news in the #seascapelab! Master's student Ben Farmer was notified about a successful #NSFGRFP, and the lab's proposal to #NSFEEID will be fully funded!

New collaborative publication that discusses some of the most immediate and pressing research questions in #SeascapeEcology. Check it out #openaccess at Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS)! int-res.com/abstracts/meps…

Woohoo! Congrats Jeanne Bloomberg on publishing your #thesis work on #mesophotic #corals! Check it out! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

So excited to share my M.S. thesis work on coral fecundity, refuges, and #mesophotic reefs! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper led by Katharine Egan, using maximum entropy models to predict the distributions of threatened #corals in shallow and #mesophotic #USVI! This is very cool work that will help us to better protect and study mesophotic corals. Congrats Katharine! int-res.com/abstracts/meps…

3/4 of the lab is in #StThomas! Ben F and Ashley R are working on their technical dive training, and will begin taking samples for their dissertation research on #coraldisease and #coral reproduction. They will also be spending two weeks diving for #NCRMP. Happy to be back!

We're recruiting #PhD students to assist with U.S. National Science Foundation funded research on #coral #disease! Interested in #marine #Ecology, #Epidemiology, and the persistence of #reef organisms? Check out seascapelab.com/news-conversat… for more information.

My collaborator is recruiting students for our new #EEID U.S. National Science Foundation project and so am I! My lab The Mydlarz Lab UTA Science studies coral immunity and will do the molecular work on this project. Looking for candidate with bioinformatics interest and/or experience.

New paper! Congrats to Sarah Leinbach, Kelly Speare, Dr. Marie Strader, and Ashley Rossin, PhD!!

🗣🗣 new paper researching #SCTLD out today, so excited about this collab frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… @DrDanHolstein

New #coral #disease modeling that demonstrates the potential for ocean currents to be responsible for the transmission of #SCTLD to the Dry Tortugas National Park

Marine ecologists warn if atmospheric & ocean temps continue to rise at the current pace, coral reefs face extinction within the next 80 years, or by the end of this century, says new #LSU research by Dan Holstein (Seascape Ecology Lab) & colleagues @UmiamiRSMAS. lsu.edu/mediacenter/ne…

Coral reefs need our help on #WorldOceansDay and every day. "How much carbon we put in the atmosphere is something we can decide. We can actually do something about it.” - LSU marine ecologist Dan Holstein lsu.edu/mediacenter/ne…
