How Microplastics Are Threatening Shark Reproduction

submitted 15 days ago • 2 comments

Forbes column from #shark researcher @melissacmarquez.bsky.social: a study of spadenose sharks on #India 's West coast finds microplastics "...in every water sample collected, 97.9% of GI tract samples and 95% of gonadal tissues." Click through for discussion about how this may impact sharks

Published version of our spatial simulations paper led by Jiseon Min and Elsie Chevy is up 🔐! This was such a fun paper to be a part of and a valuable resource to folks thinking population simulations of all kinds, even non-genetic ones! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

🛡️#Formicula is finally shielded! A 200m restricted access zone now protects Formicula islet, a vital refuge for the Mediterranean monk seal, from unregulated #tourism. Fishing still unregulated, but this is a key first step.

Like many of you, I have very strong, negative opinions about the current state of affairs, and I discuss those grievances with people daily. On this platform, I would like to share a very useful data analysis workflow that I've found in the effort of better transparency and reproducibility🧵:

We're excited today to announce Finspan, the slightly lighter cousin to Wingspan! Finspan features a familiar structure to Wingspan but with a number of new mechanisms built around the aquatic theme. It'll launch on January 22 on our webstore and ship in the weeks that follow!

Brilliant example of a nature-based solution - the living shoreline on Highway 98, Florida. ✅ Protects road from hurricane + erosion. ✅ Boosts oyster population (economy and ecosystem). ✅ Salt marsh replanting for biodiversity. ✅ Looks nicer than sea wall. www.newsweek.com/florida-save...

Important new study shows that current climate models underestimate the human-caused slowing of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), because they neglect freshwater influx from Greenland melt and other sources. /1 🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/a...
