Last up is @burt_jenn at #IDEAS18 , also talking about otters

#IDEAS18 Price: found long-lost collection of salmon tissue samples, allowing him to track population changes over decades

#IDEAS18 Peters: 2.3 million tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean every year

Special thanks to hagfish, and @SFriedScience ‘s Most-read Post of last year, for helping #TeamPink to win #IDEAS18 trivia!

#IDEAS18 @spottedcatshark : Sawfish are some of the most Threatened Marine fishes

#IDEAS18 @spottedcatshark : speaking about sawfish conservation!

My Masters advisor told me that no matter how good you are, one presentation you give will be the worst presentation you ever give. So with that in mind, come see my #IDEAS18 talk in a few minutes!

#IDEAS18 Salter: Managed clam gardens are more productive than normal beaches

Next at #IDEAS18 and closing out the morning is Natasha Salter, talking about clam gardens

Next at #IDEAS18 is Kara Hall, talking about amphibian larvae and how they adapt to different temperatures

#IDEAS18 @jennybigman : Elasmobranch fishes have different gill structure than bony fishes- this is actually where the name “Elasmobranch” comes from.

#IDEAS18 @jennybigman : Respiratory surface area helps explain metabolic rate scaling with size. But are there different patterns for gills vs lungs?

#IDEAS18 @jennybigman : An organism’s metabolic rate is correlated with body mass-bigger critters have a higher metabolic rate

#IDEAS18 @jennybigman :

Next at #IDEAS18 is @jennybigman , talking about respiration and metabolic rate in elasmobranchs

#IDEAS18 @ryleega : Species with narrow temperature ranges that they can survive in are more vulnerable

Next up at #IDEAS18 is @ryleega

Next at #IDEAS18 is @KaraPitman , taking about how glacial retreat affected salmon habitat

#IDEAS18 @SkyeAugustine : What happens if we use old (no longer used) Indigenous techniques for managing wildlife and wild places now?

#IDEAS18 @SkyeAugustine : Humans have been shaping ecosystems for millennia, and not always in a negative way.

Next at #IDEAS18 is @SkyeAugustine talking about restoring ancient sea gardens!

#IDEAS18 #SharkRayMPA @Drsharkbrain : Chris is building a big database of shark home range size and habitat usage to compare with protected area locations

#IDEAS18 #SharkRayMPA @Drsharkbrain : Bigger shark species typically have larger home ranges/activity spaces, which means you need to protect a larger area to help them

#IDEAS18 #SharkRayMPA @Drsharkbrain : Ranges of some shark species have very little overlap with protected area boundaries. So they’re not protected well.

#IDEAS18 #SharkRayMPA @Drsharkbrain : Marine protected areas are often discussed as a shark conservation tool. But do they work? (It depends!)

Next at #IDEAS18 is @Drsharkbrain !

#IDEAS18 Chezik: climate change has the ability to disrupt salmon life history- migration no longer always corresponds with ideal temperatures for spawning/growth

#IDEAS18 @will_atlas : Density dependent population dynamics= the more critters that are there already affects recruitment of new individuals

Next up at #IDEAS18 is @will_atlas , with the longest title of the day, narrowly beating me for that award.

Time for #IDEAS18 Jeopardy!
