Shark Science

Don't miss this seminar. Monitoring fish using acoustic is an emerging and important topic in fisheries management!! @UVicResearch @DFO_Pacific @UVicScience @SFU_Science @NSERC_CRSNG @DFO_MAR

The #SharkConservationFund's 2025 Small Grant #RequestforProposals is now open! 🦈 Learn more on our website: sharkconservationfund.org To be considered, please submit Concept Notes by March 31, 2025. Questions? Contact us at info@sharksandrays.org. 📸: tswinner / Getty Images

Do you have questions about aquatic telemetry, spatial ecology, statistics or programming? Attend OTN’s study hall on Thursday to problem solve with the OTN data team and peers from across the globe! Learn more: oceantrackingnetwork.org/study-hall/

January is flying by and that means only 2 more days (today and tomorrow) to submit your abstracts for ICFT (deadline Jan 31, 2025!). Note that we will have registration space for non-presenters as well. Looking forward to being together in June!

New paper lead by @kokocuvier on movements of oceanic whitetip sharks in French Polynesia. Important information on the world's coolest (and sadly critically endangered) shark. @peclabfiu @FIUMarineBio link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper led by @bellaa_reeves provides genomic evidence that white shark livers are on the menu for Aussie killer whales! See more here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

Our new paper is out as OA! shorturl.at/BueUy Tuna keels aren't just for hydrodynamics—they're mechanosensory! 🐟 They contain a modified lateral line, possibly adapted to detect stimuli in high-noise environments @georgelauder @fishwright3 @JacquelineFWebb @ConnorFWhite

Attention, students: Ready for hands-on undegrad marine research? #UDel is offering a @NSF-funded Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program for 10 weeks this summer, from June 2 to August 8, at UD's coastal campus in Lewes, DE. /1

A new global study of sharks, rays and chimaeras (closely related to sharks) has shown overfishing is driving most species to extinction as demand for their meat rapidly increases – but Australia is currently bucking the trend. Full story 👉 shorturl.at/FoXu0

BREAKING NEWS: One quarter of freshwater animals at risk of extinction - IUCN Red List The analysis published in @Nature is the largest global assessment of freshwater animals on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ to date. bit.ly/4adwI9N

A friendly reminder that abstracts for ICFT 2025 are due at the end of the month! See the conference website for details. We want to be able to provide a quick turn around of abstract acceptance before registration begins!

x2 marine #PhD positions open 🎤 @uwaoceans @uwanews 🔬 Evolving Resilience: Pace of Symbiont Adaptation to Ocean Warming in Coral-Algal Symbioses 🪸 Developing Genomic Strategies for Coral Reef Conservation Links 👇 Please confirm eligibility and project requirements ✅

Our lab has PhD + MSc positions available in 2025 on the molecular or evolutionary ecology of fishes. Projects are part of long-term research programs and can combine molecular, field and/or common garden experiments. Come join a great team! #brooktrout #walleye #laketrout

A new study by @NickDulvy finds that overfishing has halved shark and ray populations since 1970. #SFU sfu.ca/sfunews/storie…

@bpdesilets Congratulations on becoming a fixture of Chatham in 5-years. Nice accomplishment, Barry.

🥂 Five years ago today I opened the doors of The Colors of Chatham Gallery and Fine Gifts. It’s small but sweet! Stop by today!

There is still time to submit your application! ✍️ We will be accepting applications until the end of the month.

@sarilog This is not a “review” & not from a qualified reviewer. Surprised the editor sent it- makes one question the editorial skillset & maybe the journal. Worth a message to the editor (maybe after your manuscript is accepted/published). Good that you did receive 2 constructive reviews

The editor returned yesterday to us with constructive reviewer suggestions and the chance to resubmit. However, reviewer #3 has a short but special message for us. Can you believe this?
