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 make science for everyone.
Please email me if you are interested in joining my lab.

Props
- Jeremy enjoyed giving a seminar on subsidy impacts at his Alma Mater, USD. It was great to catch up with some of his earliest mentors and to meet some of the newer faculty (February 2025).
- Congrats to Ric DeSantiago for publishing his first dissertation chapter in Ecosphere #garagescience (February 2025).
- Shout out Matt Sato, a LongLab undergrad alum who has accepted a position at CFDW as a Scientific Aid to support studies of San Francisco Bay (December 2024).
- Props to Jessie Patzlaff who successfully defended her MS Thesis examining spatial patterns in predation on abalone. Excited that you will continue to work with the lab in the coming months as a Research Assistant as we develop new island projects (December 2024).
- Proud of Dr. Ric DeSantiago who is now a PhD after completing his exit seminar. You leave a legacy of impact in the lab, including some amazing murals that continue to bring life to the lab. Hoping to continue to collaborate as you move to your new position as Natural Resource Specialist at NAVFAC (2024).
- Jessie Patzlaff and Xavius Boone presented their research at the 2024 Ecological Society of America Meeting in Long Beach. Jeremy was able to attend briefly, to present research with Ric, and to reconnect with LongLab alum (July 2024).
- Congrats to Renee Angwin for starting a new position as a Program Manager at the Port of San Diego. You will be missed at CMIL but stoked for this new opportunity for you (July 2024).
