One of my recent articles published in Frontiers in Conservation Science #sharkconservation #sharkattacks just reached a new impact milestone (with >500uploads). Here is the link if you would like to read our study: https://t.co/DXtYGIhiNB

Forensic ID of shark species involved in bites on people: have a look to our quick method based on the presence of micro-injuries linked to the presence (Tiger and Bull) or absence (White) of symphyseal teeth in their jaws.#sharkattacks #forensics

Was talking about this the other day, shark tourism operations don't always impact natural behaviours of sharks

Houra: outstanding study that proves in Eastern Australia the deleterious effects on marin ecosystm of shark mass culling. May all the scientists who support these irresponsible strategies take a closer look at this article! #sharkconservation @EPHE_PSL

First joint-mission with my colleague Tadzio Bervoets very productive in Saint-MArtin waters (Both French and Deutch) to non-letal fishing and tagging as well as genetic individual profiling of tiger sharks (including 3 satellite tags to study their movements) @GlobalYachtAid

Proud to be co-author of the first #ETHOGRAM of chondrichtyens published under the lead of Dr Pete Klimley. The most exhaustive review (114 pages!) ever published on this subject. #sharkbehaviour @EPHE_PSL @criobe_pf

Another US media echo of my recent scientific article with Carl Meyer (Univ Hawaii) about the "Mistaken identity hypothesis". Thank you to Ian Rose and @DiscoverMag #sharkattacks #sharkconservation #thetruthaboutsharks https://t.co/mFTn2wr1db

[Thesharkprofiler @ericclua]

See our last article @carlmeyer deconstructing the unlikely "Mistaken identity Hypothesis" about why shark would bite people. They are just exploring a new non-instinctive potential prey, no need to be "mistaken"! #sharkattacks #anthropomorphicfallacy

To put an end to a common misconception that leads people to consider that all sharks constitute a potential danger to humans, which is FALSE! See our article @CarlMeyer @ephe_psl @criobe #sharkconservation #behaviour

Finally a relevant review of potentially deleterious effects of Human-Dolphins interactions thanks to a tremendous effort by my PhD student @pamelacarzon @EPHE_PSL @criobe_pf and support from @fabiennedelfour and @kathleendudzinsky. see free-access: https://t.co/RnhkwJkR73

Our article about the first bite on humans by a Tiger shark in 75 years in French Polynesia ! Lets hope the involvement of such a potential traumatogenic species for Humans remains exceptionnal...#sharkbites #sharkriskmanagement

Thanks to CITES to classify the requiem and hammerhead sharks in appendix 2... it doesn't totally protect them but it significantly complicates overfishing! It includes the blue shark, our target species in the Med...

Death of a good man: Dominique ROJAT, DVM, AFD, with whom I had the pleasure to manage the CRISP programme (2005-2012) in the Pacific, died last Wednesday, after several months of a relentless fight against cancer. Loss of a dear friend with amazing professional integrity #afd
