If you are tagging and electronically tracking marine life in the Western North Atlantic, please consider collaborating with Biotrack. To learn more visit marinebon.org/bons_thematic/…

Using genetic data, this study reveals a poleward shift of bull sharks along the U.S. Atlantic. These findings provide the first genetic evidence of a climate-driven response in a large, highly mobile marine predator. bit.ly/meps15095 @dalyengellab

We demonstrate for the first time that a large coastal predator - the bull shark- is undergoing a genetic response to climate change. sharkresearch.org/wp-content/upl… @dalyengellab #sharks #marinescience #climatechange

New Research 🚨: "Sharks respond to climate change with a population-level shift in critical habitat" sharkresearch.org/wp-content/upl…

In a new collaborative study led by Shannon Barry from @dalyengellab, we reveal that bull sharks are altering their life history to cope with warming water in the North West Atlantic.

63% of the area tracked marine megafauna covered is used 80% of the time as important migratory corridors or residence areas. Unfortunately, 30% protection targets will be inadequate for their effective conservation in light of global threats assessed.

New massive collaborative paper out in @ScienceMagazine led by @AnaMMSequeira @MegaMove_Org - We tracked 15,845 individuals from 121 species to evaluate space use of highly mobile marine megafauna. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@HannahCalich @AnaMMSequeira @TheSimsLab @MegaMove_Org @MarkMeekan @RobHarcourt @nunoqueiroz29 Despite these concerning results, we now have the knowledge and tools to protect these tracked species in the places of the ocean that matter most.

Contributions from 380 collaborating scientists from across the world to bring you these important findings. Here is a map of the total number of 12,794 individual track locations in the global dataset at 1° resolution showing the global coverage of 71.7% of the global ocean.

So proud to contribute to this important paper. Please check it out!

When Sharks Return, Reefs Respond Scientists found that when sharks return, their presence alone — not just their appetite — changes the way prey live, feed, and reproduce, transforming the reef. forbes.com/sites/melissac…
