Criticamente ameaçado de extinção, o #tubarão-mangona parece ter encontrado um refúgio na costa norte de São Paulo para acasalar e se reproduzir. É o que revela um estudo feito por cientistas e mergulhadores no #ArquipélagodeAlcatrazes. Reportagem e vídeo: agencia.fapesp.br/58212

Want to know how 30x30 conservation targets could affect the reproductive potential of key fisheries families on coral reefs? Or how biomass scales with fecundity at the community level? 🪸🐟🐠 Check out our new paper in @NatureCommunications #OpenAccess nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

If you dove into the ocean in the 1800s, you would have been treated to a complex symphony of sound: raindrops falling, seals moaning, staccato snapping of shrimp, undersea vents bubbling & love songs of humpback whales. Today the sea sounds different. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Nice @NatGeo article about our research on Norfolk Island and more recently off New Caledonia with #LaurentVigliola @Meyer_Sci @BiopixelTV soon to be featured on a doco from @BigWaveTV nationalgeographic.com/anima…
A remote Pacific island is attracting supersized sharks. Scientists want to know why.

A remote Pacific island is attracting supersized sharks. Scientists want to know why.

Off Norfolk Island in the South Pacific, tiger sharks grow an average of two feet longer than those on the Great Barrier Reef. We've only started unraveling the mystery.
