Why do sea urchins devour kelp forests? Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a hint.

Thanks @AdrianStier and @MaeRennick for your time and insight

Our team put together a video abstract for our paper published in @ESAEcology. Special thanks to Jacob Ogawa for compiling the video! @MaeRennick, @AdrianStier, @jocur512

@JZKoehn @AdrianStier Thanks Zach!

[Mae Rennick @MaeRennick]

And a lot of lengthy zoom calls for @AdrianStier helping us lead the charge on this science! Thank you for helping us make this happen!

[Adrian Stier @AdrianStier]

When and where do urchins cause kelp forest collapse? Our new paper shows that the balance between urchin herbivory and detrital supply is key! Please share!

Congrats 2 leads @MaeRennick & @BartDifiore on a fantastic paper in @ESAEcology

@BartDifiore deserves an award for his mentorship and patience! Couldn’t have asked for a better co-first author!

[Bart DiFiore @BartDifiore]

@AdrianStier @MaeRennick @ESAEcology Special thanks to @MaeRennick. It was a pleasure working with you on this from what we thought would be a "simple" summer project to a publication in @ESAEcology! And many thanks to @jocur512 , @AdrianStier, and Dan Reed for all your patience, guidance, and hard work.

@phoeberacine @AquademiaPod You mean to learn about Pheobe’s local nudibranch facts? Cause that’s what I’m here for.

[UCSB Gevirtz School @GGSEucsb]

This week's @SchooledR on @KCSB was all wet--learn lots about aquaculture as we talk with UCSB graduate students @phoeberacine and @MaeRennick. https://t.co/UIgqs1RDLQ

🚨 New paper out today in @ESAEcology 🚨

Kelp forests that don't produce enough detritus are mowed down by sea urchins in southern California.

It was a pleasure to meet with Field Rep Anthony Falcone from @RepKatiePorter's office to ask for increasing appropriations to @NSF in FY2022 ($10 billion) & FY 2023 ($11 billion)! It's an honor to represent @ESA_org as a 2022 GSPA recipient. @NSF_NSB #womaninstem #sciencepolicy

[UCAdvocacy @UCAdvocacy]

Congrats to @UCSB student @MaeRennick for receiving the @ESA_org Graduate Student Policy Award! Tying science and policy together, she'll have the chance to advocate for strong funding in ecological research! #UCinDC https://t.co/Xyn3BIe4Z9

[Mae Rennick @MaeRennick]

Had the pleasure of meeting with Senior Policy Adviser Samantha Price from Congressman (and fellow @ucsantabarbara gaucho) @RepCarbajal ’s office today to talk about the importance of federal support for science on behalf of @ESA_org!

[Jessica Griffin, Ph.D. @JessicaEGriffin]

We also had the opportunity to meet with @RepSaraJacobs staffer @JordanNasif today about funding for @NSF in the coming fiscal year. Thanks for taking the time to chat with us about the importance of funding scientific research! @ESA_org

[Sam Mahanes @SamuelMahanes]

Great meeting today with @SenFeinstein staffers @swmullin and Will Klink to talk about how critical @NSF funding is to ecological research! @ESA_org @UCIEEB @UCIBioSci

[Mae Rennick @MaeRennick]

Very excited to be (virtually) ‘Going to The Hill’ this week on behalf of @ESA_org to talk about federal funding for ecological research! https://t.co/zUCWcUX0DD
