Habitat Dependency Index: our recent paper outlines a new method to quantify and contrast how much individual species in a community depend on their habitat. Extensive examples with #kelp forest species. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @uwaoceans.bsky.social

More but smaller: our new paper show how historical #overfishing and contemporary #marineheatwaves combine to exacerbate the truncation of fish sizes in kelp forests

Golden #kelp Ecklonia radiata and some associated fauna, Jurien Bay, Western Australia, for #phycologyfriday. Our golden kelp is warm tolerant but has suffered extensive decline due an extreme #marineheatwave @uwaoceans.bsky.social @greatsouthernreef.bsky.social

Amazing field work diving at long-term #kelp sites in Jurien Bay with 3 ‘generations’ of my PhD students. Feel so privileged to work with such outstanding humans and in such a unique environment! #uwa
