DYK, less than 30% of the world’s researchers are women?

This International Women’s Day we're celebrating the dozens of women around the world that have overcome barriers to become leading manta & devil ray scientists, educators and inspiring role models for the next generation.

[Christy T. Judd (She/Her) @BadBiologist]

Words by @rupikaur_ that I hold close to my heart.

It’s #InternationalWomensDay, but women are the future. So, today is the day for the women that are, *and* for the women that will be.

Together, we are unstoppable. #IWD2021 (1/4)

Thank you so so much to @VikMohan1 @BlueVentures for coming to talk to us about the need to treat marine conservation issues holistically with the associated social issues. Inspiring work and definitely something I will be following in the future

🚨 #Cuttlefish news alert! 🚨 A recent #study has found that cuttlefish have the cognitive ability to exercise self-control if they know better food will be available to them later. Check it out 👇

For #MarineVertMonday today we're looking at sharks!! (my favourite) 🦈

In this 2015 paper by Pistevos et al., they found that ocean acidification and global warming impare the hunting ability, metabolic efficiency and growth of sharks

Codas are click patterns used by sperm whales in social groups, and @_lrendell and Hal Whitehead (2003) found cultural vocal patterns may be key in determining their population structure

This week for #MarineVertMondays the spot light is on the iconic whale shark!! 🦈 (I'm incredibly jealous of @rozbown's footage)

[Roz Bown @rozbown]

🙌🦈🐳It's #MarineVertMondays 🐳🦈🙌

Harvey-Carroll et al. (2021) investigated the impact of injury on apparent survival off #whalesharks (Rhincodon typus) in South Ari Atoll Marine Protected Area, Maldives.

Could @BBCNews add 'Climate Change' as a tab on its website? It's COP26 in Glasgow, there's tonnes of news to collate, there's already 'Brexit' and 'Coronavirus' tabs, it's a defining issue of the 21st century. Like/Retweet to encourage BBC to review

❗❗#MarineVertMondays
Our understanding of elasmobranch social structure and patterns of social behaviour is limited. This study by Newby et al. investigates whether individuals in groups of spotted eagle rays are likely to be related (kin) or not.
