This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

I always believed she's a shark scientist 🦈😅 Nevertheless, good job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥂

The same applies to many terrestrial species groups such as flowering plants, insects, and birds, especially in the tropics....🌴😔😢

Bending back the biodiversity loss curve of sharks and rays. The loss of sharks and rays to date has involved serial depletion of the largest, most evolutionary and functionally distinct species, and the increasing prevalence of smaller-bodied species that have benefited from release from predation.

The Indian River Lagoon system was assessed to be a nursery of national significance for the bull shark which means that it is of special importance for the bull shark population in the western North Atlantic 🐂🦈💙

Flapper skates make a recovery in Scottish waters Research by Heriot-Watt University suggests that flapper skate numbers are on the increase.

Numbers of critically-endangered flapper skate are beginning to recover in Scotland, new research has suggested.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

If Greenland is so important for the security of North America as proposed by everyone, the US can build a defense shield on Greenland with the permission of DK and GR. They also can build military bases and store weapons there (if both agree). The US don't need to possess Greenland.

This is erroneous information! Ginglymostoma cirratum is restricted in distribution to waters of the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean 🌍🌊🦈 In the Indo-Pacific region, it is replaced by Nebrius ferrugineus (tawny nurse shark) 🦈😉

Shark scientists want their research to help save threatened species, but don’t know how. Our new paper can help. Sharks are some of the most threatened animals on Earth, and accordingly many scientists who study sharks want their research to be useful for conservation. However, most scientific training does n…

Our new (in December) paper offers advice for early career scientists who want their research to help influence conservation and management policy. Lots of people say that they want to do this, but lack the policy training to do it meaningfully and usefully. Our paper can help!
