We are so proud of @eadamczyk8! She is delivering a beautiful exit seminar right now for @UBCBiodiversity BLISS. Three chapters of multisite, multiyear subtidal field surveys and an experiment to understand seagrass associated biodiversity in BC. Congrats Emily!!

Welcome to two new PHD students - @callarayy and @sleinma! We're very happy to have you! @UBCBiodiversity @ZoologyUBC

Ever wondered if seagrass meadows support biodiversity and marine life just by being there? They probably need their neighbors! Animals move among meadows, but not all over the place - likely in regional neighborhoods! protecting a meadow can benefiit a region!

So proud of this talk by our own @EvgeniyaYangel! An outstanding talk based on her Master’s research - an experimental test of the spatial insurance hypothesis for microbes in a warming environment. Part of an excellent collaboration w/ @JoeyBernhardt @thompson_pl & Laura Parfrey
This work focuses on bacteria and is a part of a bigger experiment led by @thompson_pl and @mioconnor testing Spatial Insurance Hypothesis for multitrophic aquatic metacommunties!

So proud of Coreen and Al Lewis, for their work and this beautiful description of it!
'Old Ways New Waves' shows how essential it is to use both traditional collecting practices and #taxonomy alongside modern molecular methods in ecological research. @UBCBiodiversity @ZoologyUBC @OConnorLab #WomenInMuseums #IWD2020 #UBCscience #Biodiversity
