My new paper predicts global distributions of scalloped hammerheads and their possible dispersal routes https://t.co/8DGZeIsZAg

[Xiong Zhang @Harry01301]

Does anyone have open-sea records (GPS) of scalloped hammerheads? I'm working on an MS about seasonal distributions of this shark using SDMs. The reviewers point out that my species data (mainly from OBIS & GBIF) include very limited records from open oceans. Advice is welcome.

Sharing another great shot of Big belly #seahorses by iSeahorse / @inaturalist user sharejosie. This time it's a bunch of baby big bellies rafting on a piece of #seagrass with one of their relatives - the #pipefish! Can u spot it?
Awesome.

What a lovely shot of a "herd" of juvenile Shorthead #seahorses. Found along the southern coast of Australia, they are a particularly social species.
