Exploration of the past 6,000 years of Adélie penguin ecology in the Ross Sea highlights past population dynamics and diets, offering insights into biodiversity changes in one of Earth's last intact marine ecosystems. The researchers take you behind their Nature Communications paper. 🧪
6,000 years of Adélie penguin ecology in the Ross Sea reconstructed from ancient environmental DNA
Long-term records of biodiversity provide baselines for interpreting change in threatened environments, such as Antarctica. Our study explores how ancient environmental DNA can provide these baselines, by reconstructing details about past populations and diets of Adélie penguins in the Ross Sea.

As I search for PhD labs, I have become fixated on a new research interest: how mangroves impact reef fish nurseries and how reef fish populations are different in degraded or recently restored mangroves. Anyone have experience with making the switch from freshwater to marine work?

There’s a surge of interest in #microclimate & #microenvironment + how they shape #plant and #vegetation ecology🌿My 1999 PhD work tackled this - how fine-scale variation in canopy dynamics, topography etc drives palm ecology in tropical #forests:

For grad students and practitioners in conservation, check out this amazing list for potential funding/grants! Thanks @aerinj.bsky.social !!
If your conservation research involves genomics, also check the American Genetics Association. They offer up to $6000 USD and funded my sequencing project!
