Offshore oil and gas infrastructure plays a minor role in marine metapopulation dynamics @rondoc_ronen et al incl. @DrDianneMcLean , @SpeedConrad, @eatreml in @SciTotEnv ➡️sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @exxonmobil_aus

New paper: Fully protected areas that are large and cover whole reefs provide conservation benefits for reef sharks🦈 Benefits DOUBLE when embedded within areas of effective fisheries management‼️ This "mixed management" approach boosts global conservation of elasmobranchs🦈

The @globalfinprint study found populations of #sharks & rays on Australian coral reefs are faring better than the same species on reefs where there is less protection from fishing. Learn more: ow.ly/jFmU50OQ2yh Study led by @SharkColin & supported by @PGAFamilyFdn

@SpeedConrad @_B___S What brand is her head collar? I’ve been looking for one for my lab that he doesn’t hate

@____B_S____ Dropbears do exist….well what do you know 😜

My third PhD chapter is out! 🧬 We applied 18S to characterize the diversity of Ningaloo Reef 🪸 and recovered strong patterns of community dissimilarity across adjacent reef zones with eDNA. Check it out 👇🏼 aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Time to rethink what we thought we knew about whale sharks - they don't just eat zooplankton and small fish. Floating algae is also part of the diet making them the largest omnivore on the planet since the dinosaurs: doi.org/10.1002/ecy.38… Photo credit: Andre Rerekura

Here's the latest paper from our group describing the trophic ecology of commercially important predatory fish species in northwestern Australia using gut content and stable isotopes @aims_gov_au @IMASUTAS @uwaoceans @FisheriesWA @CMST_oceans: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Big fish are thriving in no-take marine reserves 🐟 The findings come from a #UWA study using more than 22,000 baited remote underwater video devices.

Just out today in PNAS. Our new study: A large-scale experiment finds no evidence that a seismic survey impacts a demersal fish fauna pnas.org/content/118/30… @aims_gov_au @CurtinUni @UTAS_ Photo: Nick Thake

@AustinRochford @ma_macneil @pymc_devs Does this align with your firsthand experience and expectations @drbmtaylor ?
