Thanks to @BrackenLab for joining #RangeShiftNSF fieldwork in Baja - especially appreciated having a second driver for today’s 6 h return trip. Ryan, Courtney, Kyle, Dani & Julia Lara are headed south to finish surveys in San Quintin.

Congrats 🎉 to Dr. Heidi Waite for a great presentation of her Ph.D. dissertation research yesterday, showing that parental and carryover effects can influence population responses to climate stressors, but not always as we expect. UCI Ecology and Evolutionary Biol UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences Next steps: Ocean Science Trust !

SoCal whelk predation experiment site 2 is up in La Jolla in record time. Thanks all for being a great UCI Ecology and Evolutionary Biol #RangeShiftNSF team! In 2 wks we will have our 1st data on feeding rates & community impacts of this range shifting species

A long wait for post-fieldwork lunch at #CarolinesSeasideCafe provides the perfect opportunity to start planning summer fieldwork. @BrackenLab & I will be in Sitka AK collecting pilot data on heat wave impacts on culturally important coastal species w/ support from UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences

This Weds, Racine E. Rangel, Ph.D. will defend her dissertation on acidification and #ClimateChange impacts on coastal marine invertebrates - join us! May 31, 2-3pm, 4201 Nat Sci 2 UC Irvine

At 2pm PST, Racine E. Rangel, Ph.D. will present her PhD research at UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences and via Zoom. This work was conducted in Sitka AK in collaboration with the #SitkaNSF project. 2 of 3 chapters are as yet unpublished (but stay tuned!), so come see for 1st view of these fascinating results!

Congratulations to Dr. Racine Rangel for successfully defending her Ph.D. & giving a great talk about super cool results showing mechanisms of multiple climate stressor impacts on coastal ecosystems. She heads to a postdoc in the Kroeker Lab at UC Santa Cruz #SitkaNSF

This story highlights our U.S. National Science Foundation supported work on marine range shifts #RangeShiftNSF

The #RangeShiftNSF team is in NorCal this week conducting field surveys & setting up whelk predation experiments. Thanks to PhD students Ryan & Courtney for leading and to new team members, NorCal lead Bailey, UCI 199 student Kyle & CPH student Olivia!

Congratulations to members of the UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences Sorte Lab that graduated this past weekend: UCI Ecology and Evolutionary Biol PhD students Racine E. Rangel, Ph.D. & Heidi Dr. Heidi Waite and @UciUrop students James, Jonah, Safa & Vanessa. It has been wonderful to work with you all! #SitkaNSF #RangeShiftNSF

.@BrackenLab & I are in #Sitka AK 3 wks working on 2 projects. 1st: a global study led by Mads Thomsen in NZ(we’ll provide 2 case studies)of facilitation cascades. Mine is Fucus growing on Semibalanus. Do these cascades increase diversity?So far max=23 spp on 1 barnacle! UCI Ecology and Evolutionary Biol

Didn't plan for this when I added 1 night in Denver on the end of this summer's trip to Sitka (for fieldwork) & Fort Collins (for an invasions working group at the Powell Center). So amazing!!

Back in SoCal, we are starting 2nd round of #RangeShiftNSF predator caging experiments, this time for the local native whelk Acanthinucella spirata. Tides are v. early so waves are lapping at our ankles as we rush to finish. Dana Pt complete; next stop La Jolla UCI Ecology and Evolutionary Biol UCI Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences

Beautiful morning to deploy #RangeShiftNSF predator cages at La Jolla. Welcome to new lab member Edward Nguyen & thanks to current & past 199 students Kyle Suen & Safa Sherzai. Experiment led by PhD student Ryan Beshai. UCI Ecology and Evolutionary Biol

Today: construction of #RangeShiftNSF Acanthinucella cage experiment (cage in background); destruction of Mecacanthina cage experiment. Holes filled, zspar (in container) removed. Looks pretty pristine! UCI OCEANS

Reproduction in 2 range-shifting species Mexacanthina lugubris (dark unicorn whelk) & Acanthinucella spirata (angular unicorn whelk) showed higher vital rates at leading edges which could allow persistence under climate change #RangeShiftNSF bit.ly/meps_SHIFT_av6

Our kitties' brother Julius -1 of the litter's 7-is still available for adoption: lifelineforpets.org/teen--young-ad… Lifeline for Pets will be at Pasadena Pet Fair this Sunday, Sept. 10. Julius was fostered w/ Elo and Sephy and so sweet - here he is when we met him. #adoptable #kittylove
