New Paper available through @ESR_IR. By combining ultrasound images with hormone analysis, we were able to investigate the reproductive traits of the #flapperskate (D. intermedius). This approach suggests females lay pairs of eggs over winter. bit.ly/3F0BCIz

We had a fantastic morning out with some of our members at @ExplorisNI. A lovely time was had and delighted that we weren’t too late in the year to see the seal pups!

Basking sharks were considered to be ectothermic, we show they have regionally endothermic traits. This changes our understanding of the physiology of this species and might help improve distribution and population forecasting in future. bit.ly/esr_51_227

Basking sharks are what now?! New paper led by @haleydolton where we document regional endothermy in our favourite giant filter feeding sharky 🔥. Interesting implications for evolution and ecological advantages of regional endothermy; we thought it was only seen in apex 🦈&🐟1/3

One of the most severe marine heatwaves on Earth has developed off the coast of Ireland and the UK, with water temperatures as high as 4-5°C above normal. NOAA's Marine Heatwave Watch has categorized this event as a Category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave.
