Scientists in SA🇿🇦 have found that the spotted grunter fish spawns in summer along the southwest coast (Western Cape), in addition to the east coast (KZN). They recommend that management strategies be put in place to protect this important fish species.

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 Using acoustic #telemetry, @BantonyZiko et al. looked at the movements of spotted grunter (Haemulidae) in the Breede Estuary #SouthAfrica, learning more about what was driving movements between the estuary and sea. Link to the paper 👇 tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.2…

African penguin population decline began with rising sea-levels during the last Ice Age. This new @NISC_Pub study details how decreasing colonies have less nesting areas, forcing them to island-hop, or to move onto human-populated mainlands❗ spr.ly/6015OuVIx
Infographic shows image of rising sea levels with decreasing land for penguins to nest on. Text reads: African penguin population decline began almost 20,000 years ago. Rising sea levels since the last Ice Age 22,000 years ago have reduced suitable nesting areas for African penguin colonies, forcing them to island-hop, or to move onto the mainland and into conflict with humans.
