Massive congratulations to @treevineseaweed on passing her PhD viva with flying colours today!!
Huge thanks to the examining board: Andy Foggo @PlymUni and Ruth Callaway @MarineSwansea, and chair Kons Wells @swanscience.
Laura’s PhD tackled functional diversity of seaweeds - using directly measured continuous traits - across environmental gradients.
Imagine this x 10 traits x 100 species. Trait screening was a huge team effort led by @AlizeeMauffrey and @treevineseaweed with contributions from @oak_ottawa and many others including @MarineSwansea grad Josh Mutter
Laura’s first paper documents intra- and interspecific variation in wracks and kelps across environmental gradients https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00227-019-3574-5">https://link.springer.com/article/1...
Her (in review) collaboration led by @AlizeeMauffrey challenges traditional groups with continuous trait data https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/803965v1.abstract">https://www.biorxiv.org/content/1...
Always a pleasure working with @treevineseaweed. We will celebrate properly soon. Well done!!!
