Stephanie I. Anderson @stephanieianderson.bsky.social · 2hPresenting at the U.S. Symposium on Harmful Algae this month? Realllly wish I could be there too... Since I can't, please take some of my plankton with you. A new downloadable collection of my hand-drawn marine HAB species icons: github.com/sianderson/P... Free to use with attribution. Enjoy! 010

Stephanie I. Anderson @stephanieianderson.bsky.social · 24/07/2026*New* publication on marine HABs! We used observational data and species distribution models to assess the thermal conditions that contribute to marine HABs, leading to the characterization of thermal traits for 18 HAB species. authors.elsevier.com/a/1nUdi5aloF... 150

We used toxin measurements in mussels to identify a threshold of abundance for a harmful plankton, Alexandrium. We then used that threshold to look at other harmful algae in SF Bay and what seasons they grow! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 081

If you are a fearless experimentalist interested in working with us as a postdoc on this 3 year project, come chat with me at Ocean Sciences in Glasgow next week! 1115
Stephanie I. Anderson @stephanieianderson.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Do nutrient pulses alter phytoplankton communities? Yes. What about short-term shifts in temperature? Well, it depends. New insights from a repeat microcosm experiment. doi.org/10.1002/lno....doi.orgNutrient availability modulates impacts of short‐term shifts in temperature and grazing on phytoplankton composition and size structureThe significant contribution of phytoplankton to global primary production is regulated by several abiotic and biotic factors, which are often difficult to account for in natural systems.
