p.s. #wsn100 yes, http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2016/11/09/1606102113 is the paper by @krumkir I referenced in my talk. 9/8
Nice children's book on Rachel Carson as a young naturalist - perfect for us #wsn100 folk with kiddos https://www.amazon.com/dp/1555916953/?tag=amigi-20
.@norahebrown: competition and community ecology can stymie or reverse any beneficial effects of CO2 increases. #wsn100
.@norahebrown: CO2 just makes tunicates more dominant - able to hoover up food from the mouths of others who should also do well #wsn100
.@norahebrown: Adding CO2 to fouling communities shifts them from hard bodied to soft bodies organisms. Bryozoan -> tunicates #wsn100
.@norahebrown - single species expts are great, but species in the wild don't exist in a mesocosm. Go community ecology! #wsn100
Weitzman: when otters are lost, physical oceanography sets the pace for urchin size distribution - highly variable across islands! #wsn100
You know you've built an awesome lab when they bring you a burrito for lunch. #wsn100 #bostonburritodesert #CAburritoTourism
Sunday: we need to think abt how climate change will alter which species win at resource competition based on metabolic theory #wsn100
#wsn100 folk! Help @jdunic scope and build a catalogue of open marine environmental data by taking her survey docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSebDa1H...
Great poster on @FloatingForests #citizenscience from Byrneslabber Isaac Rosenthal! #wsn100
Quality of the #wsn100 poster session is off the charts. Learned so much today, and very very hard to judge!

Shears: warming increases negative effects of turbidity on kelps. If runoff increases, could be a problem for coastal kelps. #wsn100
Shears: turbidity can slow NZ kelps ability to recover from removal - get replaced by competitors #wsn100
Shears: NZ kelps try to compensate for turbid waters by dialing up photosynthesis #wsn100
Cunningham: diatoms boom when and where kelp is cleared out #wsn100
Suskiewicz: wave exposed kelps grow better than protected. Change shape as well. #wsn100
Muth: salinity drives coralline algae - & might change with climate and Arctic river runoff - could have huge consequences for kelps #wsn100
Muth: after 3 years, arctic kelps may be only 2cm long! #wsn100
Muth: arctic coralline algae facilitates community development from kelps to inverts. #wsn100
Muth: up to 50% of arctic mysid biomass comes from kelp detritus- starts food chain that ends with polar bears! #wsn100
Bonsell: arctic kelps navigate fresh water runoff, ice, and winds stirring sediment - hearty beasts! #wsn100
Okamoto: ignoring difficult to measure sources of variation across a widespread fishery can cause overconfidence in management #wsn100
Shauer: kelp raised under climate change conditions stops acting as a CO2 remediator, respites more than it photosynthesizes #wsn100
Shauer: sugar kelp is a CO2 sponge #wsn100
Miller- creating an online algal ID website for algae of CA to make algal knowledge available to all of society #wsn100
Miller- Algae: it's complicated #wsn100
Hultgren: there are arctic shrimp that have genomes waaaaaaay bigger than ours. #shrimpsuperiority #wsn100
Rogers-Bennett heat waves killing kelp and literally starving abalone in NorCal. #wsn100
