Our paper on a new method for #microplastic extraction from beach sediments is finally online 🧪🏝️. Kalium carbonate (K2CO3) is a cheap, non-toxic and high-density floating solution that is particularly suitable for #CitizenScience projects. @UniGraz @EcoEvoGraz @SandraBracun

Our new preprint is out!

Our new preprint is out! We present a new, cheap and non-toxic high density floatation solution for #microplastic extraction from shore sediments. Potassium carbonate. We do hope that many people will apply it in the future... particularly for #CitizenScience projects!

In my first first-author paper we investigated seasonal growth patterns and the fascinating biodiversity of epibiota on leaves of the #seagrass Cymodocea nodosa in the Northern #adriaticsea #marinebiology #WomenInSTEM @EcoEvoGraz @maximilian_wa @UniGraz https://t.co/zSQD4o6zUf

Returning from Institute of Biology @UniGraz.Grateful for stimulating,enjoyable collaboration since my early PhD days.Pic:Max explains the clingfish research.I was enthused, though never seen fish that more resemble the worms we tend to look for! @uhasselt @CMK_Uhasselt @muni_cz

The largest known species of jellyfish, the lion’s mane, has tentacles that can extend more than 30 meters (100 feet), longer than a blue whale https://t.co/m4AsLB3FrA [source of the gif, by Cinematic https://t.co/6LdQDrn6gr]

@gobysimon @miriam_reverter @MarlenFroehlich @ChristianvonMa1 @fnmoser @ZLCowan @TomVierus @SandraBracun I also found @CloudyPogoreutz and @fnmoser? I guess many more out there who kicked off at #RSEC!

Thanks for the nomination @fritzafrancisco! There are not many famous Austrian marine biologists out there, but this book was highly influential for my personal career choice: Hans Hass - Erinnerungen und Abenteuer... & I even got a personal dedication! #marine #book #challenge

Unlike no other vertebrates on this planet, #beautifulblennies and their relatives ventured into life-hostile environments. Therefore it's time to appreciate their marvellous and undisputed sovereignty, to become the true rulers of the intertidal zone. #filthyblenny (turn on 🔊)

Mediterranean monk seal (Monachus monachus) - It's very hard seeing this stunning animal ... unfortunately it's an endangered species. I will never forget this moment, when she was lying in front of me (Pula, 2014). #croatia #monkseal #endangeredspecies #adria #meeresschulepula

Nice observation in the #Mediterranean. Two Parablennius gattorugine fighting for the best place in the reef. #cryptodiversity #Blennies

2 recent @NMNH postdocs, @gobysimon and @jordanmcasey, with IZ's Chris Meyer investigate DNA from the guts of tiny fish. How do they partition the available crusty smorgasbord? And how does that relate to where they can make a living on the reef. Find out: https://t.co/q0voJJSDDb

Green-backed Heron, Butorides striata, is a very shy loner, but that didn't stop him from jumping into the picture. Butorides striata has a large distribution area and developed numerous subspecies.
