There are 5 key drivers of biodiversity loss Climate change; Land/Sea use change; Invasives; Over-exploitation; Pollution Importantly, they interact synergistically to exacerbate nature degradation So don’t dismiss any individual driver as being of lesser importance doi.org/10.1002/fee....

And that’s a wrap! Leaving Belfast after a fin-tastic week at the #FSBI2025 symposium with not one but two awards 😯 - the Green Travel and Best Poster Award! ✨ Wonderful meeting so many new fellow fish nerds 🐠🤓 and to hear about all the amazing research going on in this field 🦈 @thefsbi.bsky.social

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

Important new study by the @plymouthmarine.bsky.social team. Ocean acidification breaches it's planetary boundary.

Been an eye opener trying to set a good example for the #FSBI2025 Green Travel Awards. Train times don't link up with ferries, trains + ferries cost SO MUCH, and a lot of UK train lines only allow 2 bikes on the entire train on a first come first serve basis! How can you plan around this?!

If anyone doesnt mind my snoring, there may be a spare bed in the cabin my lab is sharing on the ferry from Liverpool to Belfast on night of 6th July! 😴⛴️ #FSBIGreenTravel. Pls share your travel ideas/plans! If anyone is considering driving, I can start a lift sharing spreadsheet to connect you all!

Wir sind angekommen! @egu.eu Day 1 - Team #ConvexSeascapeSurvey and others with a fascinating #BlueCarbon poster session. All talks are tomorrow from 16.15 in Room 2.17 @exetermarine.bsky.social @exeter.ac.uk @bluemarinef.bsky.social

We'd like to congratulate Prof Colin Adams who's been awarded this year's #BevertonMedal! 🏅 Colin was previously the FSBI's president and holds the chair in Freshwater Ecology @uofglasgow.bsky.social. His work includes evolutionary processes in the emergence of new fish diversity and fish migration.

🦭“Where are the fibres we are finding in the stomachs of marine life coming from? 🦀What can we do to mitigate this?“ asked Dr Ceri Lewis, at @exeter.ac.uk at the 'Network Talk' 👇 recently. Future Fibres Network+ is connecting many disciplines in the fashion and textile industry. More details 🔻.

Last week I led a seminar at @gsiexeter.bsky.social about my book, The Language of Climate Politics, and I argued that out of the authoritarian alliance of MAGA, Big Tech, and fossil capital, we can actually grab a historic opportunity... Here's the recording👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKlW...

Fantastic PhD opportunity to study invasive Pink salmon with a geniune multidisciplinary team - if you have skills in fish ecology, stats and/or social science then move quickly to apply. UK and non-UK students welcome. Please forward.

Perch people! if you happen to have photos of perch (Perca fluviatilis) taken for geometric morphometrics, any chance I could get access? I'm teaching shape analysis and would like our students to compare perch from different systems. Cheers ([email protected])

High Ambition Coalition to End #Plastic Pollution countries are the highest #plasticwaste exporters to developing countries. The plastic waste exports to non-#OECD countries increased 74% from 2021 (39.6 million kg/month) to August 2024 (69 million kg/month).
