🚨 My first PhD paper is officially out TODAY in Functional Ecology! We used ~30 years of data to see how tiny fishes would respond to multiple large-scale disturbances 🐠🐟🐡

Registration still open for IDEAS 2023! Showcase your research in a 3 or 7 minute presentation, or just come hear about the amazing interdisciplinary aquatic research happening Simon Fraser University Register here by April 10th: bit.ly/IDEAS2023SFU SFU Biological Sciences School of REM SFU Faculty of Graduate Studies

Today, I’d like to share my huge appreciation for @sfbrownlee. He is an incredible GIS scientist, hidden amongst SFU Biological Sciences’s gems of grad students. My PhD wouldn’t be the same without his expertise and support. Anyone working with him will be lucky! Earth2Ocean Science

Have a look at this press release! It's Helen Yan's recent paper on the long-term stability in cryptobenthic fish! #NoticeablyUnremarkable community trends 👇

My paper made the cover of Functional Ecology! Want to know how tiny fishes respond to multiple disturbances? Check out the paper below! ⬇️

Vote! Vote! Vote! Honoured to be chosen as a finalist this year next to some amazing photos. This photo comes from my NSERC / CRSNG USRA project from last summer, soon to be published!

🚨My second PhD paper is out TODAY in nature 🚨, co-led w/ Alexandre C Siqueira, plus Renato Morais and The Bellwood Lab looking at the #evolution of growth across coral reef fishes 🐠 1/n 🧵 10.1038/s41586-023-06070-z

My first paper! Functional response experiments are often used to predict the impact of invasive predators on prey, but many only use males. What about females? We checked it out with invasive green crabs. 1/7 ⬇️

📢🪸 New paper out looking at algal symbiont dynamics (genera & photochemical efficiency) under non-stressed conditions. 15 month in-situ monitoring study assessing three coral species at reefs with different thermal histories in Taiwan. Paper link: doi.org/10.7717/peerj.…

My first PhD chapter with Rachel Munger and Isabelle M Côté — lauded by Reviewer 2 as ✨"not compelling"✨— is out! If you're interested in sea cukes, primary productivity, or the ecological consequences of fishing, check out our work here: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Please vote for my photo in the NSERC #ScienceExposed photo contest! 🦀

I finally got my lab website Concordia University up and running. Check it out and drop me a line if you're interested in working with me on the interactive effects of climate change and invasive species on native biodiversity in coral reefs. decolabsmith.com

Non-native mudsnails are found hosting native barnacles where the weight of the epibiont can exceeds the weight of the snail itself... a form of biotic resistance perhaps? New paper out now! 🐌 doi.org/10.1007/s10530… SFU Biological Sciences Isabelle M Côté Hannah Watkins

My first, first author paper is out! We examined how simulated habitat complexity, through the addition of substrate in which prey can escape predation, affects the functional response of invasive European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) foraging on two different bivalve species.

Happy #International_Womens_Day to these amazing scientists who provide me with *constant* support in the lab

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 Out now #OA in Royal Society Open Science: "Ecological lifestyle and gill slit height across sharks" 🔗 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… #SharkScience #OpenAccess Nicholas Dulvy Jenny Bigman Anthony Iliou 🧵 below

Congratulations to Elizabeth M Oishi for successfully defending her Masters yesterday! Beth has been an incredible member of the Côté lab (Isabelle M Côté) over the past few years and we cannot wait to see what she accomplishes in the future. SFU Biological Sciences
