Interested in how morphology relates to feeding in Southern Ocean groundfish? Have a read of our latest paper! doi.org/10.1093/icesjm… @EssexLifeSci @BAS_News

We have completed the first field work for the #webDNA project founded by the @LeverhulmeTrust. We were in Italy, Orbetello, hosted by the Tor Vergata collaborators. Now it's time to start the lab work! @DaniaAlbini @ejogorman #foodweb

Check out our postdoc @DaniaAlbini's latest paper in @CommsBio: "Warming alters plankton body-size distributions in a large field experiment" 💧🦠🌡. Learn more on our lab website: ecosagelab.wordpress.com/2025/03/07/new…

We cannot wait for @DaniaAlbini to join the lab group. Many great things to come from WebDNA. Bring on February!!

Fantastic postdoc opportunity on food web ecology, based in Helsinki.

Come join EcoSAGE as a PhD student studying nature-based solutions for warming impacts on rivers, led by Eoin O'Gorman @ejogorman at @EssexLifeSci @Uni_of_Essex and co-supervised by @AM_GlezFerreras and Pepe Barquin from @IHCantabria and @wilkesma from University of Essex

Come join EcoSAGE as a PhD student modelling the future of Southern Ocean ecosystems, led by Simeon Hill at British Amtarctic Survey @BAS_News and co-supervised by Eoin O'Gorman @ejogorman at @EssexLifeSci @Uni_of_Essex

Two more opportunities to join my @EcoSAGElab as an @ARIES_DTP funded PhD student: (1) studying nature-based solutions for warming impacts on rivers aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/o… (2) modelling future Southern Ocean ecosystems aries-dtp.ac.uk/studentships/h… Applications due by January.

Come join the @EcoSAGElab on a 3-year postdoc. Part of a bigger Leverhulme-funded project with @stefanako71 called WebDNA, which combines eDNA and traditional approaches to food web ecology.

A long overdue warm welcome to our most recent addition to the @EcoSAGElab: @pabloantiqueira. Pablo is working on our @NERCscience project predicting the impacts of global environmental change on ecological networks. Read more about his research here: ecosagelab.wordpress.com/research/

I'm looking for a 3-year postdoc to reconstruct food webs from environmental DNA and traditional approaches with fieldwork in Icelandic streams, Italian coastal lagoons, and the Celtic Sea. Part of a @LeverhulmeTrust project with @stefanako71. Apply here: vacancies.essex.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru…

Super proud of @PolarPaddy, my first PhD student to completion since joining @Uni_of_Essex five years ago. Two great papers already (nature.com/articles/s4146…; frontiersin.org/journals/marin…), @DefraGovUK lucky to have him for now, and a very promising career ahead. Congrats Paddy! 👏 👏

Congrats Dr @PolarPaddy for acing his viva! Loved discussing his amazing research w/ him & @MEecoprof. Great mentoring by @ejogorman, @Dr_MTaylor, @Hollyman_Phil & Simeon Hill. And lovely to see a @SeaUnicorn2020 STSM with @lu_pez_lopez lead to a @NatureComms paper. Bravo! 🐳🐟🦐

In high sediment contamination concentration near oil and gas platforms, we showed a general decline in total species richness while pollution-resilient species dominant. Loss of larger predators and dietary specialists showed a degraded but more connected food web structure.

@chen_zelin first PhD publication, full paper: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @EssexLifeSci @insitenorthsea lots of data analysed for this! @ecoevoenviro

Super excited to have received @LeverhulmeTrust funding with @stefanako71 to explore how environmental DNA analysis can turbo-boost the reconstruction of aquatic food webs across habitat types and over multiple time scales. Watch this space for 2 x 3-year post doc opportunities.

Oil impacts - how marine drilling platforms affect seabed benthic animal communities. Research from @chen_zelin Gareth Thomas NHM, @ejogorman &al. doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

What habitats contribute to the nursery function of estuarine systems for juvenile sea bass? More than you might think! Have a read of our new paper in The Journal of Fish Biology as part of @TheFSBI symposium 2023 special issue with @Uni_of_Essex! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

With prey size from 10 Southern Ocean lanternfish species across 10° of latitude, Eskuche-Keith et al. show that higher temperatures were associated with smaller fish & a decrease in the size of fish relative to prey. @ejogorman @lu_pez_lopez @b_rosen_baum nature.com/articles/s4146…

Ever wondered how temperature alters size-based feeding relationships in Southern Ocean mesopelagic fish? Have a read of our new paper in @NatureComms! nature.com/articles/s4146…
