Hi! We are a team of ecologists working to better understand estuaries, rocky shores, kelp forests, islands, and the connections between these systems. We use field and lab experiments to study how humans are changing these habitats, particularly via altered species interactions. We are curious about the chemical cues and signals produced by seaweeds, invertebrates, and the predators that eat them. We share our science through creative avenues including art and music.
Members of the LongLab are expected to follow our Code of Conduct. We want to do great science, promote collaborations and discussions, and work to change the exclusion of underrepresented people in science.
Please email me if you are interested in joining my lab.

Props
- Massive shoutout to Alex Warneke (#longlabmafia) and Scott Hargrove for their vision and effort to help bring our science to a broader audience. The Storymap (English, Spanish) and YouTube video are stunning. I'm super proud and thankful we got to work together on this.
- Jessie Patzlaff and Ric DeSantiago visited San Nicolas Island to scout field sites and test out methodologies (1/2023).
- While conducting beach wrack surveys on San Nicolas Island with Jessie Patzlaff and Ric DeSantiago, Jeremy was impressed at the awesomeness of Elephant seals (12/2022).
- Anthony (Big T) Truong is now officially a Master of Science. For advisors, thesis defenses are often bittersweet. But I'm excited that you will be in San Diego for a few more months as you begin your internship at Cabrillo National Monument (8/2022).
- Ric DeSantiago and I launched a massive manipulative experiment comparing the impacts of dumping large amounts of Sargasso into the beaches and jungles of the Mayan Riviera. I can't wait to see what happens. (8/2022).
- Shoutout to former MS student, Chris Knight, for publishing his paper in Oecologia. This cool study, coauthored with Robert Dunn and myself, is titled, ""Conspecific cues, not starvation, mediate barren urchin response to predation risk". A photo from this research was selected as the cover shot for the published issue of the journal (7/2022).
- To the grad students in the Long Lab (Ric, Big T, Ana, Xavius, and Jessie) for kicking butt on the Coronado Islands of Baja for a week. We hiked a lot, collected a ton of data, and did not get bit by rattlesnakes. (7/2022).
