NEW PAPER 🥳: We analysed the vertical and horizontal movement data of a whale shark track in combination with oceanographic data to identify key patterns suggesting behavioural thermoregulation strategies https://t.co/bqDlJd3VdQ …(1)
It’s a pleasure to share that the 1st paper from my #PhD has made the cover of @PNASNews
Read more about it here: https://t.co/D1Ymr7ymL1
Huge shout out to everyone involved – it was a joy leading from start to finish alongside @TheSimsLab
On to the next one..!

The final sentence of new IPCC report:
"The scientific evidence is unequivocal: climate change is a threat to human well-being and the health of the planet.
Any further delay in concerted global action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future."
And just like that I am one step closer to Dr. Arrowsmith! Thank you to everyone who tuned in to watch my exit seminar, now to finalise the thesis! I wonder if you can guess what my thesis (and favourite shark) is on… @uwa_ogs_ss@aims_gov_au@uwaoceans

Using BRT models we found that the pre-dive and post-dive surface intervals varied according to dive shape (searching or foraging dives), dive duration and temperature. Highlighting temperature as a key driver of this whale shark’s migration…(3)
