Detailed demographic studies of marine foundation species are needed, esp at species range edges, to understand responses to warming and other changes. In our new ms we quantified popn structure of Laminaria ochroleuca at leading range edge in SW UK. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

In February this year (2024) I made a video of some #fluorescent nudibranch. #nature #nudibranch #scuba

Speak up for seabirds! Scotland’s iconic seabirds, such as Puffins, Gannets, Razorbills and many others, are struggling. Their numbers have halved since the 1980s. But we can turn this around. Join us in telling the Scottish Government how important it is to take urgent action

If you are thinking of a manuscript (or have one written) on the topic of stress resilience in marine and freshwater macrophytes, there is a special addition of Aquatic Botany open for submission, see here; sciencedirect.com/special-issue/… #phycologyfriday #kelp #nature #Science

Yesterday's aurora in full, a quick one but beautiful! #aurora #Auroraborealis #scotland

On #InternationalDayOfForests, let's consider the forests we don't often see. #Kelp forests in our seas act as nurseries and food sources, provide coastline protection and absorb CO2. Fine out more with a bit of kelp poetry!🎧: buzzsprout.com/1080152/episod… 📽️Dr Alasdair O'Dell /SAMS

Another lovely aurora from last night in Scotland. #aurora #notthernlight
