1/2 🌿🐟=💥New paper alert! Just published my latest (royalsocietypublishing.org/d…) w/ the amazing @AllgeierLab! 🎉 Turns out, seagrass love fish pee. It's a goldmine of nutrients that boost their growth, even under fishing pressure & human nutrient influence.
PODS students have been learning how to collect ecological data in different habitats in The Bahamas

Michigan News: Caribbean seagrasses provide services worth $255B annually, including vast carbon storage. The findings show that seagrass ecosystems deserve to be at the forefront of the global conservation agenda. @AllgeierLab #EEB #conservation #seagrass myumi.ch/JpGW2

New paper in @ESAEcology that investigates the contribution of fish feces as nutrients for reefs.
Coastal Ecology and Conservation Lab PhD student @ks_munsterman included as an author in this one.

Jake and Katrina spent the last few weeks catching, tagging, and collecting fin clips from fish in Abaco.
Fun fact - grunt fin clips look like sushi grass! 🍣
Thank you @BahaNick for joining in our virtual marine research course for Bahamian high school students. We all enjoyed learning about the major fisheries in The Bahamas! 🦞

Nate Sanders, @UMichEEB professor, co-authored a study examining how coral bleaching leaves some species of reef fish struggling to identify and respond appropriately to competitors. myumi.ch/NkWkr

We are still accepting applications for a postdoc position in the lab! Details in the link below 👇
We have a postdoc position opening in the lab to develop ecosystem-scale models that integrate bioenergetics, nutrient dynamics, and consumer movement to predict ecosystem production in tropical coastal ecosystems. Please share!
