New Pub 🚨🦈 🐠🧪 Pleased to share our paper on Eastern Atlantic tiger #shark movements that highlight a global first with a return migration from West Africa to Brazil. This was a labour of love with our now departed colleagues Zeddy and Ze Luis, who so loved these sharks💙 doi.org/10.3389/fmar...

In a study by the University of Exeter, nearly 70 blue, porbeagle and tope sharks were tagged to track their behaviour after being caught recreationally using the catch-and-release technique. The result: most sharks survived after being released. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Fewer shark deaths when fishing guidelines followed - study

Researchers tagged sharks caught in England, Scotland and the Channel Islands for the project.

Tag placement matters! 🦈📡 A new study led by @exeter.ac.uk uses water flow simulations to outline the effects of tag placement on sharks. Full paper - www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/15... @garzonfrancesco.bsky.social @drmjwitt.bsky.social 🦑🐟🦈🌍🌐📡🌊🦤 #AcademicSky

For the past 4 years I have worked with a wonderful team of scientists and anglers to track sharks in recreational fisheries. With close to 70 tags deployed, we found that good angling practice can result in pretty high survival for sharks! 🦈🎣🌊

Four years, many tags, and even more written words later, my PhD thesis is DONE! 🎉 #biologging for #shark and #turtle ecology and conservation 🦈🐢🦑🧪 i have had a blast these past years at @exetermarine.bsky.social @uniexecec.bsky.social

Today I know I need to post some more cool deep-sea science but am feeling very resistant today. The best I can do is combine the two. A thread.

Many air-breathing marine animals swim about three body diameters below the water’s surface, which reduces wave drag and saves energy during migration. The common pattern has implications for species conservation. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

On the tenth day of Christmas my true love sent to me: 10 springtails leaping, 9 dance flies dancing, 8 ants a-milking, 7 wasps a-swimming, 6 flies a-laying, 5 gold beetles! 4 buzzing bees, 3 French worms, 2 turtle bugs, And a painting of a small flea. 🦗🩰 🐡 #invertebrate #advent #ArtAdventCalendar

A photograph of a Staedtler 0.05 pigment liner and Posca pens around a sketchbook with colour cartoon illustrations of 10 leaping springtails. The springtails are stylized, bright orange with tiny cute black eyes. They are wearing pink and white tutu's and ballet shoes and are positioned in different leaping ballet poses!
