What a great day to be a lettuce

Our lab's #shark & #ClimateChange research featured today in Science Magazine "Breathless oceans: Warming waters could suffocate marine life and disrupt fisheries" MBA - Marine Biological Association OceanEarthUniSoton MOVE - funded by European Research Council (ERC) science.org/content/articl…

The first paper from my PhD, just published in #JournalofFishBiology!

Tracking sharks’ responses to Ocean Deoxygenation means we also study responses in normoxic habitats - In the Azores we record movements, behaviour & speeds of blue & mako sharks with @OkeanosUAc Whilst fishing we were excited to be joined by this curious blue shark. #MBASharks

This was a good day at work

#SharkAwarenessDay Focus on endangered shortfin mako sharks whose popul'ns are decimated due to overfishing – this brief film on new #OA research in #JFB measures mako swim speeds & highlights what climate-driven ocean deoxygenation will mean for them buff.ly/43tqZYu

The fastest #shark? New directly measured swim speeds of shortfin #mako show a burst speed of 5 m/s, among the fastest speed yet recorded for free-swimming sharks, tunas and billfishes! David Sims MBA - Marine Biological Association doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15… #JFB

What was the impact of Covid-19 restrictions on maritime traffic? 🚢 Using global datasets, our David Sims researchers have revealed a surprising complexity of maritime activity during 2020. Find out more: buff.ly/47UBNlk #Shipping #Covid19 #MaritimeTraffic

The review that I started on the first day of my PhD is finally out!

The vulnerability of sharks, skates, and rays to ocean deoxygenation: Physiological mechanisms, behavioral responses, and ecological impacts buff.ly/3KAEgr9

The first paper from my PhD was just published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution , where we introduce a new animal-attached archival tag recording in situ dissolved oxygen, temperature and acceleration. Nuno Queiroz David Sims 渡辺佑基 Yuuki Watanabe MOVE doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

📖Published📖 A new animal-attached, dissolved-oxygen sensing archival tag capable of recording pressure, water temperature and DO concentration, as well as 3D body acceleration, with all sensors integrated on a single electronic board 🦈 doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…

Sharks & climate change - new tag recording O2, Temp and fine-scale movements & activity to explore #shark responses to #MarineHeatwaves & ocean #deoxygenation - out now Open Access in Methods in Ecology and Evolution European Research Council (ERC) dx.doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…
