@karen_stockin @kjopeters Such wonderful news @kjopeters !!! 🙌

[Andrea Barcelo @Andrea_Barcelo_]

New research on seascape genomics of common dolphins in Australian waters. Comprehending the environment can provide us better understanding of species distribution and adaptation.

Our paper on seascape genomics of Australian common dolphins is now out in BMC Ecology and Evolution @BioMedCentral what drives their distribution and adaptation? Read more at https://t.co/P47e0643Ok

Stable isotopes reveal sympatric Australian snubfin and humpback dolphins feed at similar trophic levels, have substantial dietary overlap, and rely on similar basal food resources! Read all about it in @Ecol_Evol:

Excited to have co-authored this research study led by @m_thumsy and @LuOceano combining satellite tagging & acoustic data to support the #conservation of pygmy blue #whales in the south-eastern Indian Ocean @MQBiology @WomenSciAUST @womeninmmsci @MQSciEng

Our new paper just out: Pygmy blue whale movement, distribution and important areas led by @m_thumsy as part of @aims_gov_au NWSSRP https://t.co/rPESCm9V3r

[Luciana Ferreira @LuOceano]

We deployed new tags and noise loggers and collaborated with an incredible group of researcher to compile existing tracking and passive acoustic data available for pygmy blue whales in Western Australia @CEBELresearch @CMST_oceans @AusAntarctic @PaulTho12913604

@RobHarcourt Such sad news, she was an amazing woman. To hear of her passing is deeply touching.

Just published in MEPS! Proud of our student @emma_petrolo This study is relevant for future fisheries management and the famous Australian ‘fish & chips’ (gummy shark is generally sold this way) @MQBiology @MQSciEng @STEMwomenMQ

[Marine Ecology Progress Series (MEPS) @MEPS_IR]

Genetic assessment of commercially exploited Australian gummy #shark using genome-wide data has revealed genetic structure between individuals from E and S coast. Modelling showed more rapid decline of Ne in recent past compared to historical projections. https://t.co/NyT809igyE

Our review on epigenetic inheritance in plants and animals is out now in @Trends_Ecol_Evo! @dafanast and @ClareVenney systematically reviewed over 500 (of >2200) recent papers to assess the frequency and consequences of epigenetic inheritance across plant and animal taxa.

The Australian sea lion is #endangered and in substantial #decline. Just published in @AnimalConserv by @KBilgmann et al. using #genomics and #simulations to show that the species can still be saved, but population declines need to be reversed!

Well done Andrea! Proud associate supervisor. Local common dolphin populations at a fine scale, and genetic connectivity across the Tasman Sea. This is important for mitigating AU/NZ fishery interactions.

[Andrea Barcelo @Andrea_Barcelo_]

Freshly baked from my PhD! A real pleasure to get this project published, with a lot of great colleagues. Using genomic data we show that Australasian common dolphins have a hierarchical metapopulation structure with gene flow persistence in the region. https://t.co/xEJHtwqmZc

Great to be part of this collaborative effort led by @Ana_Rita_Amaral in solving the puzzle of humpback dolphin speciation and population structure! Read all about it here: https://t.co/p1O2eeD5p5
