Really enjoying the 2nd OrcaWatch presentations over the last few days with Sea Watch Foundation Thank you Filipa Samarra Icelandic Orca Project for the incredible video footage from your DTAGs of their feeding behaviour, and the new knowledge of #pilotwhales chasing "mobbing" #Orca #seawatchuk






So glad me and the University Centre of the Westfjords students got to do an impromptu visit of the flagship of Marine and Freshwater Research Institute, Iceland today! Just a couple months ago many colleagues and students were onboard, sailing the waters of Iceland looking for 🐋 as part of an ecosystem survey.



We have a new paper out today in Current Biology ! 🐬 Our research shows that variation in acoustic communication range, driven by habitat structure, predicts dolphin alliance group sizes!➡️sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Shark Bay Dolphin Research Nat Geo Explorers /1
