🧪 Microplastics Are Cutting Global Food Production

Microplastic pollution reduces photosynthesis in plants and algae, leading to losses of up to 360 million metric tons of crops and 24 million metric tons of seafood each year.

🤩 Just published in the December issue of Trends in Ecology and Evolution
Everything you always wanted to know about interacting effects of salinization 🧂 and warming 🌡️ on ectotherms 🪳🕷️🪰🐸🐢🐍
Wonderful collaboration with Léa Lorrain-Soligon and Julien Pétillon

The interactive effects of salt and heat on coastal ectotherms
Coastal ecosystems face salinization and rising temperatures. In coastal ectotherms, salinity and temperature affect metabolism, tolerance, infections, growth, behavior, and survival. Overall, the combined effects of salinity and temperature on species distribution, community structure, invasive species, and ecosystem functioning need to be fully assessed to understand impacts from these stressors.

Thrilled to see the logo I designed for the Evolutionary and Population Biology lab live on their website!!

The EPB lab has grown and expanded its research scope in the last few years. They needed a new logo that reflected this growth.
