NEW RESEARCH 🚨 Researchers identify ultrasonography as reliable method of determining sex in migrating silver eels. This technique was shown to be more reliable than molecular marking, and removes the need for sacrifice. @mjw-marine.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🦑🧪🌍🦤🌐

Non-lethal tools for accurate sex identification in European #eel are required. Our new #OpenAccess paper shows ultrasonography is an accurate, non-lethal tool for identifying sex, but molecular markers were less reliable. Link here ▶️ www-tinyurl.com/b414e8a2 @zslscience.bsky.social #Science

New paper out! 📢 We tested whether boat activity from an eel telemetry study disturbed protected waterbirds in a UK reservoir. 🦆 No evidence of disturbance. 🌦️ Bird numbers varied with weather + season. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In this month's blog post, I demonstrate how to visualize shipping traffic data using R. The tutorial covers downloading the dataset from EMODnet, performing exploratory data analysis, and creating a map using ggplot2. #Rstats #GeospatialAnalysis #DataVisualization #ShippingTraffic

Herculean collation of >12K megafauna tracks, >100 species, reveals 75% overlap of critical habitats with shipping, fishing, pollution or warming. Protection targets not enough to safeguard megafauna. New paper in @science.org, led by @anammsequeira.bsky.social 👇 📸silvana-palacios,daniel-torobekov

📢✨ Aquatically-inclined and looking for an autumn conference? Join us for this year's #BESAG2025 to discuss all things #freshwater and #marine science! Where: ZSL London When: 15/16th September 2025 Registration and abstract submission info ⬇️ www.britishecologicalsociety.org/content/besa...

Also thanks to @DefraGovUK @welshgovernment.bsky.social and @ScotGovMarine for supporting this research and wider monitoring through the long-term UK strandings programmes. Many thanks as well to @natreswales.bsky.social and @ascobans.bsky.social for providing funding for additional samples 🙏

Great to see our new paper on the impacts of water flow and crest shape on juvenile #eel movement on fish passes now out in the Journal of #Fish #Biology! #openaccess #science #freshwater @zslscience.bsky.social @jack-brand.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Super happy to see our new article on how pharmaceutical pollution can influence salmon migration out in @science.org! This was a huge effort by a great team of researchers over the last few years! You can read the paper here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…!

Nice new paper out reviewing the use of #biologging as a platform for monitoring environmental threats and aiding marine management. Also introduced me to the term Internet of Animals, which made me happy #science #behaviour #Marine www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Great new paper out on the impacts of pharmaceutical pollution in salmonids by @jack-brand.bsky.social and colleagues.

First post on #Bluesky, thought I'd highlight some of our research this year with @netlab.bsky.social. Acoustic telemetry can be used to answer a whole variety of questions including; Residency in reef #sharks - doi.org/10.1038/s420...
