Introduction
Working on kelp and urchin dynamics, and how kelp loss due to urchin overgrazing changes the assemblage and trait structure of marine communities.
I use macroecological approaches (biodiversity monitoring), as well as fundamental physiology to understand how marine communities are affected by habitat and temperature change.
Mostly working with marine invertebrates.

Overgrazing of habitat-forming kelps by sea urchins is reshaping reef seascapes in many temperate regions. Loss of kelp, in particular as a food source, may alter individual consumer physiology, which in turn may impair their ability to respond to climate warming. Here, we measured the temperature dependence of absolute and mass-independent oxygen...
Aim: Global declines in structurally complex habitats are reshaping both land-and
seascapes in directions that affect the responses of biological communities to warming.
Here, we test whether widespread loss of kelp habitats through sea urchin overgrazing
systematically changes the sensitivity of fish communities to warming.
Location: Global tempe...
Global declines in structurally complex habitats are reshaping both land and seascapes in directions that affect biological communities’ responses to warming. Here, we test whether widespread loss of kelp habitats through sea urchin overgrazing systematically changes warming sensitivity of fish communities. Community thermal affinity shifts related...
The activities of a diverse array of sediment-dwelling fauna are known to mediate carbon remineralisation, biogeochemical cycling and other important properties of marine ecosystems, but the contributions that different seabed communities make to the global inventory have not been established. Here we provide a comprehensive georeferenced database...
