New paper from our team using eDNA metabarcoding to assess potential impacts from a seismic survey on a tropical fish community dx.doi.org/10.1002/edn3.7… @aims_gov_au @CMST_oceans @IMASUTAS @uwaoceans @WAFishResearch 🧬🐟🐠🧬🐟🐠🧬

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🦈

New study out assessing fish productivity on offshore oil and gas platforms in South Australia by @Matthew_J_Birt and team @aims_gov_au @CurtinUni @Deakin @CalPoly @Occidental sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Research led by @MilesJParsons suggests exposure to a single #seismic survey is unlikely to increase mortality or affect #pearl production in adult #oysters. Co-authors @MarkMeekan @dbarneche @SpeedConrad @Cecile83708538 @HosnaKanani More: aims.gov.au/information-ce… @SantosLtd

NEW #sharkscience from the @globalfinprint team. Widespread diversity deficits of coral reef sharks and rays. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… @ScienceMagazine @PGAFamilyFdn @jcu @FIU @aims_gov_au @MoteMarineLab @DalhousieU @CurtinUni @IMASUTAS @ElasmoSociety @OceaniaSharks

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

New study finds 5 main #shark species that live on coral reefs have declined globally by an average of 63%, overfishing the main driver. Published in @ScienceMagazine AIMS co-authored the @globalfintprint study led by @SharkColin 🔗DOI: 10.1126/science.ade4884 @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%…

Elusive #seasnakes at Ashmore Reef have been found hiding in the deep! Video surveys in the mesophotic zone recorded 5️⃣ species not reported in shallow waters for a decade. 🔗More: aims.gov.au/information-ce… Research authors incl @SpeedConrad @NeridaWilson 📸@SchmidtOcean

New paper from our group documenting sea snakes in the mesophotic zone, some of which have been unseen in the shallow waters of Ashmore Reef for decades frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… @aims_gov_au @SchmidtOcean @wamuseum @CurtinUni @uwaoceans

New paper from our group led by @DrDianneMcLean out now, which assesses the value of subsea oil and gas structures to commercially important fish species frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… @aims_gov_au @uwaoceans @BiolSci_UWA @Deakin @UTS_Science @nswdpi

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 ?
