Phylogeographic structure and historical demography of tarakihi (Nemadactylus macropterus) and king tarakihi (Nemadactylus n.sp.) in New Zealand tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… The second one's out! And stay tuned for more soon... 🐟🧬 #fisheries #Genetics #NewZealand

New paper from our lab group! Looking into functional diversity in deep sea fish communities 🐠 🐟 🦈They compared entire fish communities and found similar levels of diversity!! Congrats Victoria Grace Carrington (she/her) Alice Rogers Yvan Papa 🇳🇿🐟🧬🇨🇭 Chelsey Beese 🎉

New paper from @vgcarrington shows how the unique traits of deep-sea species drive higher functional diversity - so much so that it rivals that of a shallow coastal region! @MEEMLab_nz @DrAliceRogers onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…

@NZMarineSociety Thankful for the focus on incorporating mātauranga Māori (indigenous knowledge) into scientific exploration and management today. We have so much to learn. Now thinking about ways to bring these ideas of cooperation to my own community. VUW Marine Ecology and Ecosystem Modelling Lab #NZMSS2021

Awesome talk from Alice Rogers about using Mizer size based models and the benefits over more complicated ecosystem based models! @NZMarineSociety VUW Marine Ecology and Ecosystem Modelling Lab

Great talk from @bighamkt on the changes in deep sea benthic community structure following the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. Thanks Katie!

Day 3 of #NZMSS2021 - great talk from Nora Kandler on sponge microbiome shifts due to climate impacts! Super cool stuff Nora! @NZMarineSociety The University of Waikato 🎓

Closing message: it’s a learning process. Kia ora Maru #NZMSS2021

Great talk from @sea_andymone at #NZMSS2021 on blue cod nursery habitats! His research shows some interesting results on growth in different habitat types! VUW Marine Ecology and Ecosystem Modelling Lab @NZMarineSociety The University of Waikato 🎓

More #NZMSS2021 greatness - Chelsey Beese presented her work on key #coralreef refuge characteristics to promote #fisheries productivity! @NZMarineSociety The University of Waikato 🎓 VUW Marine Ecology and Ecosystem Modelling Lab Alice Rogers

Had an absolute blast at @NZMarineSociety 2021 conference! Thanks for hosting The University of Waikato 🎓 Tauranga campus. Great way to kick off my academic career 👩‍🔬

Snapshot of today’s lab work down at @niwa_nz looking at gut contents of some #deepsea #sharks! Our focus for this is looking at which species eat hoki so we can better understand links between sharks and #fisheries!

Ok everyone, we currently have 0 students based in New Zealand that have applied for this - international students please feel free to flick me an email about this great opportunity. PhD scholarship in seaweed aquaculture for restoration of degraded urban kelp forests

Low oxygen levels are pushing fish into shallower waters, with potentially devastating impacts for fisheries and ecosystems sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/…

Day 1 of the World Fisheries Congress online #WFC2021 World Fisheries Congress. Loving the welcome by Adelaide's local aboriginal tribe, the Kaurna people, it's great to still be able to experience this online from New Zealand! 👏

#WFC2021 Currently tuning into the Ecosystem-based fisheries management session of World Fisheries Congress 🐟🐠 Awesome talk from Samik Datta from @niwa_nz presenting results of a multi-species size structured model of the Chatham Rise using mizer

One highlight of #WFC2021 so far was the mizer workshop! Great intro to size-spectrum multi-species models and how they've been used to address a wide variety of questions. And a great R tutorial testing the mizer package! Alice Rogers Julia Blanchard 🏳️‍🌈 World Fisheries Congress

Yay guy contents 😂🎉 I’ve been working on the gut contents chapter of my thesis looking at what deep sea sharks are eating! In particular we are looking for hoki - which we haven’t found - but look at these other cool things we DID find! 🤩 #deepsea #sharks #science #marinelife

Cool paper I found today: Effect of scavenging on predation in a food web onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Another cool paper - discussing the natural history and selective pressures for scavenging 😃😱 A recipe for scavenging in vertebrates - A natural history of behaviour onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
