Did you there are ~520 species of Shark? 🦈 Many people only think of: - White shark - Tiger shark - Bull shark - Hammerhead shark - Whale shark BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER COOL SHARKS OUT THERE. And we discover a new species roughly every two weeks.

⚠️ DREAM JOB ALERT ⚠️ We’re hiring! Come join the team at Global Reef in a field research position. Tons of research freedom and lots of field work in beautiful Thailand 🐠🪸 Full time, salaried position. Details below; reach out with your CV at contact@global-reef.com

New in @NatureClimate – Climate-driven global redistribution of whale #sharks predicts increased threat from shipping, making possible increased mortality from lethal collisions & greater under High Emissions scenario @FreyaWomersley @thembauk OA here: nature.com/articles/s4155…

slowly working through the backlog of blacktip BRUVs footage on my hard drive- helped immensely by the new ✨sharktrack AI✨ tool. github.com/filippovarini/…

Dunkleosteus was the top predator 365 million years ago. It grew up to 4 m long and weighed as much as a beluga whale. It did not have teeth. Instead, the bones of its jaw formed jagged, self-sharpening razor-like edges that were perfect for cutting prey.

While not uncommon by any means, larval-stage mantis shrimp (Stomatopods) are one of the most cute members of the nocturnal plankton. TL ~2.5cm #mantisshrimp #stomatopod #stomatopoda #blackwater #blackwaterdiving #blackwaterphotography #gug #gugunderwater #chrisgug #underwater

Prospectives! I can potentially welcome a doctoral student who shares passion for fish evolution, systematics, and biodiversity to my new lab at Tulane in Fall 2025. Pre-applications due to me by October 31. Email bsidlauskas@tulane.edu or DM me for more details.

Ph.D. project studying bighorn sheep movement. Available immediately. See my website: grad.biology.ualberta.ca/boyce/msc-or-p…

🚨Fall 2025 #MS/#PhD Opportunities in #Ocean #Engineering & #Oceanography🚨 The MILLO group is recruiting 1-2 grad students. Research focus on ocean instrumentation, passive acoustic monitoring tools, & animals as ocean observing platforms. Learn more: pagniello-lab.github.io/join-us.html

Doing good science is 90% finding a science buddy to constantly talk to about the project.

Juvenile oceanic whitetip sharks are bold, opportunistic hunters in open waters, feeding on squid and bony fish. Known for their endurance, they travel vast distances in warm, tropical seas and thrive in the pelagic zone.

hi friends! it’s been a while since I’ve been on here but I’m back with a little life update for you: I moved to Thailand and after working as a divemaster for many months I landed a job as a researcher for a local marine conservation organization. Things are looking up! 🦈

We are still looking for a PhD & MS student to work on inverts in Iceland! Please reach out to Dr. Benstead or Dr. Huryn to apply! 🧊

Many people cannot identify this species by its teeth.

It’s time for spooky shark facts, so here’s one about our slow moving, elderly, honestly sort of toxic friend. The Greenland shark! #animalfacts

The most grim plankton compilation video I've made. This should only be a beautiful world of microlife. Instead it's a microplastic-polluted, horror movie. Beauty and the beast. @zeiss_micro

@soFISHtication wait is your phd thesis on basking sharks?! can we chat more about that, i did my thesis on baskers too!

Please laugh at these inaccurate AI shark images with me

In an incredibly rare event, our #AndersonCabotCenter aerial survey team spotted a gray whale off the New England coast last week, a species that has been extinct in the Atlantic for more than 200 years! 😮 More: bit.ly/49EydNl #AerialSurvey #GrayWhale

Vulnerability assessment of Indo-Pacific non-marine sharks & rays. Large-bodied euryhaline species most vulnerable. Assessment had strong congruence with IUCN extinction risk assessments. Framework designed to be applied to other freshwater cons contexts👍 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…
