🚨New paper alert🚨 in Rev Fish Biol Fisheries. We argued that interdisciplinary and cross-boundary research is key to enhance our understanding on fish #movement. This can be essential for adequate #aquatic #management. Illustration by Hendrik Gheerardyn. https://t.co/qExZLSGNyJ

River sediment is changing globally, impacting the stability of river systems and the ecological and economic systems that rely on them. New #SciencePerspective shows the current state of knowledge… https://t.co/NGLTvXZY89

Paper accepted with revisions, but “native language revisions needed” - in a review full of language issues … paper written by 4 native speakers, just the first author has an African affiliation…

Get a grip lads, and write a proper review

We tagged shortfin #eels with PSATs & followed them ~2620km to their presumed spawning ground for the 1st time ever - the Coral Sea 🐟🧐 We also saw pretty intense predation pressure, likely by #sharks & marine mammals🦈🐋 Here is me & one of those eels 😍https://t.co/NDLpCLiq8V
