Introducing @danwmont.bsky.social, a recipient of our Small Grant. We look forward to following along as Daniel works to define key reproductive habitats for Critically Endangered tope sharks. More info here: saveourseas.com/project/wher... Photos by Jake Davies #SOSF2025Projects

In my degree I remember being inspired by projects funded by @saveourseas.bsky.social so its a mini full-circle moment to see myself listed as a project leader (complete with sketch portrait) for them this year!

A nice mix of female #farmlandbirds during yesterday's ringing session. Cirl bunting (1), stone chat (2), and linnet (3)! #birds @btobirds.bsky.social 🧪

📢 New 🧪 from Project SIARC using eDNA to investigate 🦈 distributions in Wales. 🔍 9 species + Critically Endangered angelshark and tope detected 📅 Detections peaked in spring 🌍 Predicted that animals were within 15 km of sampling locations 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🐟🦑 #marinelife

Fascinating to join a #CSIoftheSea with the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme team on two Angelsharks that were found on a North Wales beach in 2023. 🔎 Samples from the sharks will provide vital data on health, diet, reproductive patterns, and connectivity across the East Atlantic. 🐟🧪🦑

Lots of people told me "I can't arrange a whole group, but if you can make it so individuals can get a spot on a shark research trip, I'd love to come!" Now is your chance! If this works, we'll do it again.

After a few weeks off, I've returned to the news that 2 of our #tope have been recorded on a telemetry array in South Wales/England! Fantastic to get 1st detections of our animals and insight into #connectivity between MPA's in Wales + England. Where will our sharks go next? #ProjectSIARC #ZSL 🐟🦑🧪

My day job is more fish orientated! I'm leading research for #ProjectSIARC, the #OceanPredatorLab, and #ZSL to investigate movements of Critically Endangered tope (soupfin) sharks in North Wales, UK - a seasonal hot-spot! 🧪🐟🦈🐙 #trackingnotslacking #sharkscience

I'm slowly working towards my @btobirds.bsky.social ringing permit in my spare time. Much more arduous task than my Home Office licence for fish tagging! Thrilled to have rung my first kingfisher a few weeks ago, though. What a beauty #birds #ringing #kingfisher

Got to get the hang of bluesky! Boosting this post to relevant feeds! 🐟🧪🐙🌎

Great to see two more papers from postdoc work at UBC Zoology published over the last few weeks addressing smolt physiology! #fishsci #aquaculture #atlanticsalmon #smoltification Open access articles can be found here: doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15957 doi.org/10.1016/j.aquaculture.2024.741699
