Ep 05 - Mysterious Mantas | @laurenrpeel out now! Lauren just completed a Ph.D. studying manta ray movements, diet, and population off the Seychelles. I ask everything about #mantarays, from basic biology to social behavior to threats such as pollution, climate change, & fishing.

Hello! I have started a podcast (@TheMWpodcast) interviewing scientists (like @KyeRAdams & @DrSammyShark) about sharks and the current research, conservation, and also monitoring for human/shark interactions. You can check the Murky Waters Podcast page for the first episode.

At #5thICFT & interested in how we can help you make the most of biological samples collected during your tracking studies? Or how we can help locate more samples to increase your sample size? @fiskeforbrains is @2019Icft & happy to chat all things @OtletResearch & @sharkshareGL

Last night I submitted my PhD thesis! Its been a long road but very fulfilling. Heartfelt thanks to my friends and family. Thanks also to supervisors and collaborators for your support and to all legends that helped in the field. Just boarding flight to Norway to attend #5thicft

NEW PAPER: We reviewed the existing knowledge of the vertical movements of large, epipelagic fishes and the evidence for the underlying factors structuring this behavior. Check out the infographic and paper for more info, and DM if you need a copy. link.springer.com/article/10… – at California, USA

Has #ESAus18 got new ideas for collaboration 'popping up' in your thoughts? 🐸Maybe we can help take those ideas to the next stage; Otlet.io provides a free online database where you can submit/search/request biological samples from colleagues around the world.

I did an interview with @smh about my recent research using #drones to track #shark movement and behaviour @UON_research @Uni_Newcastle @Drones_MDPI @urchinhunter @loutosetto @DJIGlobal smh.com.au/environment/conse…
Drone fleet to help keep swimmers safe at 'shark smorgasbord' beaches

Drone fleet to help keep swimmers safe at 'shark smorgasbord' beaches

It's the time of the year when the surf looks its most inviting, but it's also when our anxiety about sharks hits its peak.

An new step in automated reef fish identification from videos -- deep learning algorithms correctly identify 94.9% of underwater fish images in 0.06 s each; humans correctly identify 89.3% in >> time. Exciting new paper led by @umontpellier PhD student Seb Villon - link in RT.

My latest for @Forbes is out: The Dark Truth About Those #shark Birth Videos. Those videos of pregnant #sharks & #rays are not a celebration of life. They may spell out "doo doo doom" for some species. Featuring @KyeRAdams and @fiskeforbrains. forbes.com/sites/melissacris…
