What can 55 years of studying bottlenose dolphins teach us? 🐬 This long-term program in Sarasota Bay, Florida, has helped researchers develop new technologies while improving the welfare of the animals. With our @frantsjensen.bsky.social and led by Peter Tyack. #MarineEcology #Science 🌐🌏🧪🌱🔊

Our recent study in Ecological Modelling shows that southern right whale mother-calf pairs leave calving grounds once calves reach ~8 m in length, not after a fixed time. Larger, fatter mothers help calves reach departure size faster! 🐋⚡ Read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🌐🌏🌱🧪

New Paper! ❄️🦌 First measurements of PFAS & heavy metals in Svalbard reindeer, with seasonal trends. PFAS have increased over the past decade, highlighting ongoing exposure in remote Arctic wildlife. 🌐🌏🧪🌱 #Arcticecotoxicology #Science #Svalbardreindeer #ecology #research #Arctic #pollution

Here is the story covered by BBC w/ free access 🌏 @bbcscience.bsky.social 🌐🐋🐻‍❄️🧪

Together with MSc student Oliver Nowak and local hunters, Fredrik Christiansen measured over 500 whales during March-June to investigate their prey consumption and condition. Meanwhile, capturing jaw dropping wildlife footage 📷 🌐🌏🐋🧪

Weekend's work ☀️🦭

We are underway with the retrieval of detached data storage tags in the #WaddenSea 🇩🇰🦭 See photo captions and previous posts on our page for the building of retrievable tags and their deployment @au.dk #Science #biomonotoring #research #marineecology #marinemammalreasearch 🌐

🔊Paper out today with @nature.com! Despite decreasing emissions 🌏 mercury levels are rising in some species. Hg Isotopes could reveal why. Our new research shows ocean currents, may now be the main source of mercury in Arctic ecosystems. 🌐🧪🐻‍❄️🐋 @au.dk #Arctic #Mercury #Greenland #MarineEcology

New release from the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme on #Arctic #climatechange 🔊 Summary of record breaking events: 🧪 www.amap.no/documents/do...

My colleagues at AU ecoscience do amazing things with the Arctic Monitoring Assessment Program. AMAP constantly works to update reports on the status of a changing Arctic Environment. They also make readable summaries for policy makers, also informative and interesting for everyone. www.amap.no
