Perfect timing with our 2025 Norfolk Island trip: new paper on tiger shark movement just out #NorfolkSharks

https://t.co/PulzdV3BGJ

35 tiger sharks (avg size 4 m) satellite tracked over 5 years

Led to the designation of @SharkRayAreas's Norfolk Ridge

📑 #NewStudy by Burns et al. finds complementary results using two #fish community monitoring systems – BRUVS and #eDNA – in the Great Australian Bight. Both methods distinguished depth-dependent communities.

@mike_microbe and #EwanBurns lead this comparison of fish assemblages between BRUVS and eDNA.
Only 17 of 102 species recorded by both methods. 40% increase in species-level detections by combining datasets.
Collab with @envirosanews and @ausmarineparks

Are white patches on whale sharks at Ningaloo cause for concern? A collaboration between researchers at Flinders University and UWA will help us to find out.

It's great to be attending #ISME 19 in Cape Town, South Africa! I presented my work alongside some really excellent researchers in the Animal Microbiome session. Thank you #ISME19 for giving me the opportunity to present.

There are many ways the species responsible for shark bites can be identified. Here, we tested gauzes from standard first-aid kits to collect transfer DNA from shark bites on inert object https://t.co/rAEQfO7bnB

Great work @JeremyJBarr! It's great to see this work evolve from the early San Diego days to now!

I kicked off the #SharkParty in the Environmental Microbiome session with my work on the phage ecology of shark skin!
Shark Week did not sponsor this post, they’re not small-minded enough for microbial ecology.

We entered the Doane Zone! Michael Doane gave a great talk about positive ecological interactions in tiger shark microbiome network architecture. Call it a Cluster-Fun!

Check out this cool new work driven by @CraigLiddicoat examining microbiome potential to process key compounds which may support human health!

[Craig Liddicoat @CraigLiddicoat]

Preprint alert 🦠💩🔬

Do human gut & #soil metagenomes encode key information about a #microbiome's capacity to process compounds supporting human health?

Microbial network patterns described from the skin of whale sharks around the world suggest a fundamental feature of the skin microbiome.
