🚨New paper in Zoology 🐟
Led by Dr Myoung-Hoon Ha, we show how tuna and marlin olfactory systems are shaped by hydrodynamic flow, revealing shared pelagic adaptations and species-specific solutions to life at speed.
Congrats Dr Ha! 🎓👏

Interested in #ocean #sound? Did you know that it is an Essential Ocean Variable? What does this mean and why do we care?
TUNE in to the upcoming webinar that highlights the importance of ocean sound and its best practices: 12 December 2025, 8 am UTC. Register here: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
Hi @daryllmarie.bsky.social thanks for sharing! Yes, please add me :)
How noisy are small boats underwater?
Our new paper shows that slower speeds aren’t always quiet and the importance of particle motion!

In our latest collection of free education resources, we explore marine bioacoustics with Dr Lucille Chapuis (@sharkslikejazz.bsky.social) from @latrobeuni.bsky.social. She studies the hearing systems of fish to understand how they are affected by human-made noise.

In our latest podcast, Dr Lucille Chapuis (@sharkslikejazz.bsky.social), a marine bioacoustician from
@latrobeuni.bsky.social talks to us about how she uses humour to get herself through challenges, her love of fieldwork and the importance of friendship.

It was a pleasure to meet @palaeo-jrule.bsky.social and @slyssabits.bsky.social at #PintofScience2025 at Carton Brewhouse in Melbourne! Loved learning more about seals 'ears and how to best cook trilobites for a delicious treat. Thanks to the organizers and especially the public for attending!
New paper from the lab: Our teeth arose as sensory organs on the outside of the body of ancient jawless fish.!! Congrats to Yara Haridy and the team!

🔊Calling all #OceanSound professionals!
We’re seeking your expert input on the draft specification sheet for the OceanSound Essential Ocean Variable, to ensure it is relevant and scientifically robust.

We are back at the @ansto.bsky.social Australian #Synchrotron to continue our mission to understand how #shrimps sense #sound #underwater! 🦐🔊 Perfect way to spend the ANZAC week-end!
Thanks to the Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering for the support!
By directly stimulating certain light-sensing cells (s, m, and l) in the retina, researchers can show people colors outside the natural range of perception—like “olo” (green circle). Fong et al./Science Advances (2025)
Not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous of the five people who have seen "olo"—an intense teal that human eyes can't normally see. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪
