We are a lab of passionate marine ecologists at CMSI UNSW, conducting solutions-based research on human stressors in estuarine and coastal ecosystems.
New publication from our lab on the impacts of artificial light at night and warming on sea urchin grazing rates and gonad index!
This is my first first-author publication, and one I am super excited to share! Here, we manipulated artificial light at night and warming to investigate impacts on sea urchin grazing and growth rates, with co-authors Mariana Mayer Pinto, Maria Byrne and Ziggy Marzinelli.

Artificial light at night and warming impact grazing rates and gonad index of the sea urchin Centrostephanus rodgersii | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a growing threat to coastal habitats, and is likely
to exacerbate the impacts of other stressors. Kelp forests are dominant habitats on
temperate reefs but are decl...

Trial habitat module deployments this week in Sydney Harbour, for an experiment looking at the interactive effects of artificial light pollution and habitat complexity on biodiversity, led by PhD student Lena Holtmanns, supervised by Mariana Mayer Pinto and Alistair Poore, at UNSW.
