Happy Earth Day!🌍 #Sharks have been part a key part of our planet's story for 450+ million years. Healthy shark populations foster a resilient & balanced ocean, which in turn sustains life on Earth. Learn how SCF restores ocean health through global shark & ray conservation:

📢I am very excited to finally share what feels like the most important paper of my career so far - the world's first randomized controlled trial of #marine #conservation incentives - out now in Science Magazine's Science Advances: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

This perfect circle is the signature bite mark of a tiny, deep-sea predator. 🦈 Using its specialized teeth, this #shark latches onto its prey and twists to carve out a perfectly circular chunk of flesh. Can you guess the species? That’s right! It's the.... #Cookiecutter

First record of a living Sulawesi coelacanth (𝐿. 𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑑𝑜𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠) from Indonesia. Arguably one of the most emblematic and evolutionarily important marine vertebrates, this discovery contributes to our understanding of this vulnerable species. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Arable land has been flattened by history of ploughing. In restoring such sites it is important to introduce variation. Here I look at butterfly banks and enthuse over the experimental testing. youtu.be/5kgAXVFo610?si…

Tanzania just declared two new MPAs in critical habitat for sharks, rays, and other marine life! SCF is proud to support WCS in working with the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar and Pemba’s coastal communities to co-develop strong, lasting protections. 🦈

The Gilded Triggerfish (Xanthichthys auromarginatus) is a common and widely distributed fish. But because it prefers deeper waters (usually below 40m) in places with a lot of current, it's rarely seen. I photographed this beautiful male in the Maldives at about 70m depth.

“We have heard so much about the illegal trade in terrestrial [species]…. This study reminds us that we need to pay as much, if not more, attention to understanding and regulating the trade in marine species...” Nicholas Dulvy Fantastic coverage of our research in Mongabay:

Jaws Anniversary article on the Jaws Generation and Leonard Compagno's contribution to the movie. Ebert says “I refer to the people in my cohort as the Jaws generation...those of us who laid the ground for contemporary shark research because of Jaws.” stanfordmag.org/contents/big-f…

#Jaws is turning 50! 🦈 Delighted to be part of this great piece by Tom Beasley (also featuring Let’s Jaws for a Minute... & The Shark Trust) talking about the film's real-life impact on sharks, while acknowledging its mastery as a piece of art Give it a wee read: uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/jaws-st…

Quick favor to ask: Does anyone follow or know of any myrmecologists (people who study ants)? My little cousin wants to grow up to study and discover ant species and I would love to put him in touch with someone in the field so he can learn a little bit more about it. Gracias!

🚨 I'm looking for #Postdoc opportunities starting this September! 🧑‍🔬🔍 I'm a highly motivated researcher with experience in R, network analysis, and multivariate statistics. My focus is on the evolution of ecosystems and biodiversity over deep time.

Concern for loss of biodiversity! However, see counter-intuitive increase in taxa over deep time Here, bivalve counts over 500M yrs. Exploding increase in species number. despite mass extinction events at ~66-201-252-360 &443 Million years ago (75% losses) UN Biodiversity

Are you an ecologist looking for funding for your next project?  Round 2 of our BES Grants is now open for applications. Each year, we invest over half a million pounds in research projects worldwide, supporting ecologists with bold, innovative ideas that push the boundaries of

On June 11th at Genoa’s Blue District, we presented #Elifeproject, focused on Mediterranean shark conservation, during “Sustainable fishing: conserving endangered species.” Thanks to Nicola Rasore, Massimiliano Bottaro, Edoardo Olmi & Federica Barbera for their insights! 🌊

"Securing the future of African pangolins demands a bold shift if they are primarily being hunted for meat rather than scales." Anti-trafficking measures alone won’t protect pangolins if hunting for local consumption remains unchecked. theconversation.com/why-anti-traff…

The only way this comparison makes sense is to compare extinction rate ( E / million species years) which accounts for rise in species N. Guess what you find when you do that?
