Our work on California spiny lobster populations (supported by CA Ocean Protection Council) was recently featured in a news article by California Sea Grant.
September 2023: Congratulations to Liam and Kaitlin on completing the first half of a huge field sampling effort!
PhD student, Liam, and MS student at Coastal Carolina, Kaitlin G., recently finished our first year sampling estuarine communities in 3 Reserves in the southeast. Great work, and looking forward to seeing all of that data!
November 2023: Our NERR Science Collaborative Catalyst grant on oyster reef communities kicked off with a weeklong roadtrip to sample reefs at Sapelo Island and GTM NERRs. Sampling North Inlet and North Carolina later this month.
Welcome to the summer 2023 team!
The lab is planning for a busy and (hopefully) highly productive field season, conducting research in multiple habitat types across the North Inlet-Winyah Bay estuarine system.
July 2022
Another predator-prey paper just accepted! Collaborator and friend of the lab, Chris Knight (currently a PhD student at Stanford's Hopkins Marine Lab) led the publication of a study comparing the foraging responses of sea urchins from kelp forests and urchin barrens to cues from predatory lobsters. Link coming soon.
June 2022
Paper "From polyps to pixels..." was just published in the special issue "Toward a Science of Scaling in Landscape Ecology" in Landscape Ecology. This paper, led by Mary Donovan (@ Arizona State), was a product of the CRESCYNT - NCEAS Data Science for Coral Reefs Workshop from 2018.
June 2022
Two former students in the lab were recognized as part of the class of 2022 NOAA Hollings Scholars. Congratulations Caitlin, and great to see Nadya's work highlighted!
November 2021
Excited to host another undergraduate during summer 2022 as part of the NOAA Hollings Scholarship program to work on shrimps!
October 2021
Marine Science 460 students recently completed their second field trip to the Baruch Marine Field Lab, collecting data on salt marsh communities!
September 2021
Marine Science 460 students just came down to the BMFL for their first taste of fieldwork.
August 2021
Summer undergraduate researchers just completed their time at UofSC's Baruch Marine Field Lab. Great job and thanks for all of your hard work!
June 2021
We recently published a theory paper exploring transient dynamics following fishery closures in kelp forests.
February 2021
New paper demonstrating the use of Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags in penaeid shrimp just out!
September 2020
Ryan Jenkinson and colleagues just published a paper describing an epic field study of rocky reefs in the Northeast Pacific Ocean.
August 2020
We just finished our first survey of blue and stone crabs in North Inlet and Winyah Bay!
We will be conducting quarterly, trap-based surveys for these commercially important species.
June 2020
Salt marsh crab monitoring now underway!
We will be sampling 50 plots each month to examine spatial and temporal variation in the community of small-bodied crabs that live in North Inlet salt marshes.
January 2020
New paper out in Biology Letters on predatory functional responses in coastal ecosystems!
January 2020
Paper just published about dispersal of marine larvae and climate change (Bashevkin et al. Ecosphere). This was a long-time coming, a collaborative effort based on a student-led discussion course at UC Davis. Great job team!
January 6, 2020
Started at the North Inlet-Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve! Excited to investigate estuarine communities!
