New pre-print on heterogeneity- stability relationship led by @jsola.bsky.social: Using a long-term #RockyShore experiment we show substrate heterogeneity promotes stability via biodiversity and asynchrony, but simultaneously inhibits stabilising dominants. www.authorea.com/users/795647...

Counteracting cascades challenge the heterogeneity -- stability relationship
Spatial environmental heterogeneity is widely assumed to enhance ecological stability by promoting refugia, biodiversity, and asynchrony. Yet, we lack field experiments testing this fundamental relati...

*PhD opportunity*: I’ll shortly be advertising a project linking seaweed traits to blue carbon in the context of climate change. Please contact me via email (j.n.griffin at swansea. ac. uk) if potentially interested. More details to follow.

Great to get onto the shore to check out the field experiments just a few km from our campus, with @rubygeorge.bsky.social and new PhD student Abrar Shakil.
