Dr. Jeremy Long

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
- Our paper on biogeochemical impacts of plant competition in salt marshes is now available. Shoutout to an amazing group of undergrad and grad students for making this publication of a lab project a reality. (3/2022).
- Ric DeSantiago, Anthony (Big T) Truong, Lauren Strope, and Jeremy surveyed wrack on one of the most amazing islands ever (San Nicolas Island, Channel Islands, Cali). It's true that I love invertebrates, seaweeds, and plants, but it's hard to deny the magnificence that is the Elephant seal. More evidence that ecologists get to do some pretty rad stuff (3/2022).
- Anthony (Big T) Truong presented his talk, "Climate change impacts on a canopy forming rockweed and its associated understory", at the Annual Western Society of Naturalists Meeting. Your talk conveyed a neat experiment while making the science accessible to a broad audience. Props. (11/2021)
- Ric DeSantiago and Jeremy traveled to Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo (Mexico) to develop collaborative projects with Rosa Rodríguez of UNAM. We are especially interested in understanding the consequences of massive amounts of Sargasso on recipient ecosystems. (11/2021)
- Dr. Shelby Rinehart's meta-analysis, "Numerical responses of omnivorous arthropods to plant alternative resources suppress prey populations: a meta-analysis" has been accepted in Ecology. Props to Shelby for leading the charge to develop the skills for carrying out this analytical approach (10/2021)
- Dr. Jan Walker's paper, that includes coauthor Ted Grosholz, "Predicting burrowing crab impacts on salt marsh plants" has been published at Ecosphere. Like Hermione, you must have had a time-turner to simultaneously conduct research in socal and norcal (10/2021)
