Our new paper on limpets grazing microscopic algae
We recently had a new paper come out in Marine Ecology Progress Series, titled Quantifying the top-down effects of grazers on a rocky shore: selective grazing and the potential for competition (open access link at MEPS) (permanent doi link). This project involved putting a series of round aluminum plates out in the high intertidal zone…

Using Arduino tide predictions
In the previous post, I outlined some Arduino code to generate tide height predictions for a NOAA tidal reference station. Now let’s do something useful with this newfound functionality. In the experiments I run, it’s useful to keep intertidal animals like snails and limpets on a natural tidal cycle. In addition, some animals like high-shore…
