1/New paper! We use biologging to study social dynamics of white sharks. While many associations are short, we found evidence of longer associations. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… Royal Society Publishing FIU College of Arts, Sciences & Education FIU Institute of Environment Sharkproject International

New paper out where we use biologging to look at activity patterns in oceanic whitetip sharks. We found some sharks were diurnal and some were nocturnal. link.springer.com/article/10.100… FIU College of Arts, Sciences & Education FIU Marine Biology

Very pleased to see my first grad student successfully defend his PhD. Congrats Dr Maurits van Zinnicq Bergmann, PhD on a great dissertation Predator Ecology & Conservation Lab FIU Marine Biology

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Maurits van Zinnicq Bergmann who successfully defended his dissertation today! 🦈🧬📊🎓

Excited to share our latest findings on the widespread diversity deficits of coral reef sharks and raids globally. I feel honored to have been able to contribute to this huge collaboration led by Colin and Demian. Thanks to everyone involved!

Visualise & quantify space use of lots of animals: github.com/SimonDedman/mo… on CRAN; automates dBBMM modelling & plotting. Thx to coauthor Maurits van Zinnicq Bergmann, PhD 🥳

Out in NatureClimate : Following an intense upwelling event killing 81 species e.g., bull sharks and manta rays, we show increasing trends in upwelling frequency and intensity in SouthAfrica and easternAustralia and how movements of bull sharks are impacted!

New paper lead by Maurits van Zinnicq Bergmann, PhD we used individual based modelling and telemetry to understand the roles of predation risk and competition in driving space use by a shark and ray community.

What drives habitat use in marine predator communities? Maurits van Zinnicq Bergmann, PhD et al. unveil the roles of competition, predation and intraguild predation in shaping elasmobranch 🦈 spatial distributions. buff.ly/3wKtZWd

Accelerometry classified young lemon #sharks as resting/swimming/foraging: Rest nearshore at high tide, move offshore, increase swimming, foraging peaks at low tide & dusk. Once older/larger/safer from predation, home range & foraging increases. authors.elsevier.com/c/1jA4EmjM6Fgw

Thoroughly enjoyed wrangling sharks with Captain America and our crew. Very unexpected to see not just 1 but 2 Marvel superheroes demonstrating our poop method for science on tv. Anthony Mackie and Chris Hemsworth congrats with your ‘brown wings’💩 !

🦈 NEW HAMMERHEAD SPECIES ALERT🚨 Im pleased to inform you that we have a new species of hammerhead shark: Sphyrna alleni sp. nov., or the SHOVELBILL SHARK from the Caribbean and the Southwestern Atlantic.
