Interested in working on manta and devil ray conservation genomics with me and the @MantaTrust?
We have an @e3dtp PhD opportunity at @TheDickVet and the @roslininstitute open to UK and international students.
Deadline 4th Jan 2024 noon UK time.

What will recovering whale populations look like in a changing climate? So happy to see our paper on gray whale population dynamics out today in @ScienceMagazine! We show that gray whales go through major boom and bust cycles in response to dynamic and changing Arctic conditions.

Happy #WorldMantaDay! I had the pleasure of presenting @ICES_ASC last week in Bilbao on the results of our work to estimate and reduce post release mortality of these amazing rays in purse seine fisheries. 📷@Leire_Lopetegui

#Newpaperalert 🌊🦈 Oceanic manta rays are elusive, dwelling in remote island waters but in Bahía de Banderas 🇲🇽, they come close to shore! 🏝️
📚 Our study is the FIRST to unveil their coastal secrets with passive acoustics! and It is OPEN ACCESS! 🔓

So proud of @OceanEcologyLab grad students @Santiagodomsa and Allison Kane who were awarded @HatfieldMSC Markham scholarships for their research and presented these amazing posters!

The @OceanEcologyLab and our partners at NOAA are looking for a quantitative postdoc to explore drivers of salmon marine survival (prey, predators, competitors, harvest, climate change) using structural equation models! Salary $57-60k. Please share! Deets: oceanecologylab.org/news/sal…

New paper on manta and devil ray aggregations led by Marta Palacios! Laying the groundwork for her fantastic ongoing research on the superaggregations of Munk’s devil rays in Baja California.
** NEW SCIENCE ALERT **
Have you ever wondered why manta and devil rays gather in large numbers?

New @OceanEcologyLab paper out today! Southern Resident killer whale occupancy in the San Juan Islands & surrounding core summer habitat has declined by 75-90% in the past two decades, in step with declining Fraser river Chinook salmon returns onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

After 12 years of living in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, I visited cold northern waters! The sunsets in the pacific are always my favorite and make me feel at home.

With almost all of our humpback tags deployed, we’ve shifted gears for a few days to survey the distribution of potential zooplankton prey in this incredible canyon system. Check out that DSL! Rigging up the echosounder on a panga has been an adventure!

Amazing day on the water with humpback mothers and calves, including this extremely inquisitive little one! Moms are still looking plump and happy. Mexican research permit SEMARNAT No. SGPA/DGVS/01372/22 @primma_uabcs @jurbanr @danielequs @OceanEcologyLab @whet_lab

The @oceanecologylab, WHET lab (@danielequs & Ladd Irvine) and @primma_uabcs are in Bahia de Banderas, Mexico studying the movements, foraging ecology, and condition of humpback whales from two threatened and endangered sub populations. Stay tuned for updates!

Ever wonder how fat #HumpbackWhales get?? 🐋
Check out our new paper in @FrontMarineSci where we describe how body condition increases over the foraging season in #Antarctic. This work establishes a baseline to monitor future impacts of climate change.

More manta abundance estimates out today! This time for the Revillagigedo Archipelago in the Mexican Pacific, led by Madalena Cabral. We estimate there are ~ 1,100 mantas @ Revillagigedo based on 4 yrs of high effort photo ID data collection trebuchet.public.springernat…

So excited to welcome @Santiagodomsa to @osufwcs in January! Apparently in addition to doing great science, he’s a killer illustrator
I've just sent my Master's thesis final draft to my advisors! This is so exciting! And even more, because this is the last step before starting my PhD at @OregonState @osufwcs w/ @J0shStwrt as my PI
Ps/I've also been working on my scientific illustration skills @rattasupernote
