Overall, we determined that different movement combinations arise due to highly specific physiological and environmental contexts driven by complex trait interactions. Excited to see this out! (3/3)
We found that species exhibit at least one moderate movement rate, but only species with high movement had distinct life history traits. (2/3)
Finally, sharing this amazing paper led by an undergraduate I mentored! We looked into the relationship between adult and larval movement traits and four other key traits in 600+ fish species to understand linkages and tradeoffs between adult and larval movement extent.

Our results provide evidence for the potential role of MPAs as climate adaptation tools and highlight that MPAs can support ecosystem stability under increasing climate stress. Left: Aerial imagery of giant and bull kelp canopy in central California. Right: Map illustrating differences in relative kelp canopy coverage between MPAs and reference sites following the 2014–2016 marine heatwaves. Positive values reflect greater kelp recovery in MPAs; negative values indicate lower kelp recovery in MPAs.
Color me surprised! 😑
Turns out that an ecological system that has one stressor removed from it (fishing) is more resilient when faced with another stressor (marine heatwaves). 🧪🌊

No, blue whales aren't going silent off California. Here's why. | When asked whether the blue whales have gone silent since 2021, he replied: "Nope."
Really excited to share our new paper on #causalinference & #climatechange attribution out in #EcologyLetters today!
Are you asking "how much" or "if" climate change has impacted your system, then this paper is for you!

It's Carnival Tuesday in Brazil and I'm happy to share the newest #SharkScience paper we just published at Fish and Fisheries!
@allieamc.bsky.social and I co-led this analysis on the at-vessel and post-release mortality for sharks caught in longline and/or gillnet fisheries 1/9

Recently found out I passed my written exams for my PhD! Just my proposal defense left between me and candidacy 💪🏼
Could I get added please?
This was a blast, thanks all! Follow the folks in this thread for more science in your feed 🧪
I’d love to contribute (occasionally)!
I’m Allie! I’m a PhD student at UCSB studying how marine species movements and climate change effect conservation! 🐟🐠🦈
