It’s that time of the year again 🐋 At Ningaloo with Centre4WhaleResearch Michele Thums Australian Institute of Marine Science Curtin University c studying the majestic pygmy blue whale. Exciting updates from our trip (and out accepted paper on habitat modelling) to come very soon!

Huge effort led by @laurenrpeel Another great publication from our collaborative efforts from Biodiversity and Conservation Science Pendoley_turtle Australian Institute of Marine Science and many others to merge our datasets to inform management of sea turtles.

Our new paper Michele Thums Australian Institute of Marine Science antarctica.gov.au CEBEL Centre4WhaleResearch We used tracking data+machine learning+SDMs to predict foraging and migration habitat suitability for pygmy blue whales in Australia and Southeast Asia rdcu.be/dJ8Xo





We had a blast tonight in Exmouth talking about Australian Institute of Marine Science whale shark and Lyn Irvine humpback whale research! Such a great and engage crowed that filled (slightly overfilled) the room!




Love bites! ❤️ Scientists witness rare amorous whale shark behaviour at Ningaloo reef. 🦈 Read more > bit.ly/3PozNu4 Australian Institute of Marine Science Murdoch University Edith Cowan University (ECU) Flinders University UWA #whaleshark #marinescience

Our most recent publication led by Michele Thums looking at pygmy blue whale diving behaviour and using dive data to validate foraging areas defined with movement data with collaborators from Australian Institute of Marine Science Centre4WhaleResearch Curtin University Flinders University sciencedirect.com/science/articl…


Productive start to 2025. Another exciting collaborative paper looking at the influence of natural and artificial features on the movement and connectivity of whale sharks - led by Ben D’Antonio (He/him) Australian Institute of Marine Science UWA Oceans Institute ECOCEAN Inc. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…

Great to get out for field work on the stunning beaches of Ningaloo, working hands-on with these adorable turtle hatchlings! 🐢 A fantastic team - Michele Thums Phillips Wilson Australian Institute of Marine Science Kellie Pendoley and some exciting results!


Research led by Australian Institute of Marine Science provides new insights on the foraging behaviours of pygmy blue whales on their epic northern migration.

If you’re in Exmouth Ningaloo this week come watch a series of exciting talks about our work with pygmy blue whales Australian Institute of Marine Science Curtin University Michele Thums



📢A MegaMove milestone has just been published in Science Magazine! With ~380 collaborators from 50 countries, we mapped the movements of 12k+ marine megafauna to identify key habitats 🌊🐋🦈 Pew Environment MegaMove Ecology&EvolutionANU UWA Oceans Institute sequeiralab.com/news/megamove-…

Researching #PygmyBlueWhales takes dedication, team work, patience and piles of equipment. Australian Institute of Marine Science CMST_oceans Michele Thums Luciana Ferreira #CentreforWhaleResearch Track the latest tagged whales here: my.wildlifecomputers.com/data/map/?id=6…


AIMS scientists are testing how tiny turtle hatchlings respond to different levels of artificial light after emerging from their sandy nests.

Excited to share our latest review of the impacts of artificial light on sea turtle hatchling dispersal 💡🐢. We review their visual capabilities 👁️ and discuss the costs of disrupted orientation.
