A recent study reports a new arrival in eastern Canada: Juxtacribrilina mutabilis, a nonindigenous bryozoan threatening eelgrass, a key coastal habitat.

This study uncovers its hidden presence since 2013 + highlights the need for early detection & citizen science.

Protected doesn’t mean safe 🌡️
A new study led by Amy Irvine, with Dr. Derek Tittensor, found warming oceans could shift marine species in Canada’s east coast MPAs. Their new tool, CEDI, helps spot at-risk areas so we can plan for a warming world.

Future Climate‐Driven Ecological Disruption in a Network of Marine Protected Areas on Canada's East Coast
Climate-induced species range shifts alter ecological assemblages, yet little is known of the consequences for ecosystem functioning. We combine species distribution model (SDM) projections with spec...
