Hi all! I've seen an uptick in follows from fellow Federal #Canadian #scientists over the last while, so I figured I'd create a starter pack!

During my PhD, I was fortunate to learn from & work with Dr. Thierry Chopin. While Thierry wasn't directly involved with my thesis, he was generous w/ his time & giving advice; we had many lasting conversations about marine biology, climate change, life as a marine scientist, &, of course, seaweeds.

A nice news story from the DFO NCR Communications Team in Ottawa on our paper showing that heatwaves exacerbate the ecological effects of nearshore fishing.

Oxygen supersaturation has been reported to protect aquatic animals from heat waves. We tested this in a large collaborative experiment on many species of fish and crustaceans. Our new paper in @plosbiology.org shows that the effect of hyperoxia on thermal tolerance is negligible. Unfortunately.

A little fast food at home for supper tonight. (Except it literally took 2 hours to prep and make lol.)

It's been a ton of fun reconnecting with my naturalist roots this summer and contributing our backyard biodiversity data to iNaturalist.org.
I've documented at least 670 species on our property since May; nowhere near a complete inventory & a highly biased sample of what's actually here.

These Milkweed tussock moths (Euchaetes egle) were showing off their acrobatics and their flashy attire while I was trying to capture them with the camera.

The lygus bugs (Lygus sp.) don't seem to bother with aphids.
Much unlike the silky field ants (Formica subsericea), who vigorously protect poplar aphids (Chaitophorus populicola) for the return of sweet honeydew—a waste product secreted by the aphids.
Great example of ecological mutualism.
