Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

Important new paper on global ship-strike risk for #whales 🐋🚢by @anna__nisi @UW & team

>95% of hotspots are in national waters & could be protected with reduced ship speeds 🚢

Protecting just 2.6% of the ocean reduces risk in all hotspots 🐋🐋 1/3

[Anna Nisi @anna__nisi]

Our new article maps the risk of whale-ship collisions globally for blue, fin, humpback, and sperm whales. We found that risk is widespread, and current levels of protection are low. Please get in touch if you have any questions about our article! https://t.co/4Xp2TCtSax

[Blue whale news @bluewhalenews]

Antarctic blue whales display high movement rates around the Southern Ocean. Estimated 8-32% movement rates from one ocean basin to another each year, and therefore circumpolar-wide complete mixing in under 10 years. https://t.co/tMn8QZMN6g

The best thing my students ever gave me. I thought they were just really diligent note-takers the whole semester, but it turns out they were compiling a book of all the craziest things I'd said, all *very much* out of context. It's 152 pages long.

[Wildlife Computers @Tags4Wildlife]

Researchers tracked the migration of fin whales using @Tags4Wildlife LIMPET tags off the Antarctic Peninsula. There has only been knowledge of their behavior in the summer months, but now there is insight into migration and breeding/wintering grounds.

Look at the remarkable journey Cyclopia has undertaken. This female #southernrightwhale was tagged Walkerbay in October 2022 and has traveled more than 30 000 km with her calf

Successful field season in Western Australia as part of the Mirnong Maat project 🐳 Thanks so much @KateSprogis @RobHarcourt for having us & big thanks to the folks at DBCA. This work was supported by a bursary from @Ant_Sci_Ltd. Can't wait to get analysing the data! 💻
