Where do our blue whales go? Read our latest #research on #blue #whale #movement and #behavior published with Springer Nature in Scientific Reports #tagging reveals! Read more here: protect-au.mimecast.com/s/twUNCL7Eg9fE… CEBEL @MQBiology Flinders University Macquarie University

Hot off the press- our new paper on Sperm Whales showing different stocks belong to the same population in Australian waters by Jo Day Marine Predator Lab Taronga Zoo Science and Engineering @ MQU Marine & Coastal Research Consortium and the late, great, whale scientist John Bannister dx.doi.org/10.1002/aqc.34…

Great to be part of this collaborative effort led by @Ana_Rita_Amaral in solving the puzzle of humpback dolphin speciation and population structure! Read all about it here: doi.org/10.1093/jhered…

Well done Andrea! Proud associate supervisor. Local common dolphin populations at a fine scale, and genetic connectivity across the Tasman Sea. This is important for mitigating AU/NZ fishery interactions.

The Australian sea lion is #endangered and in substantial #decline. Just published in Animal Conservation by Kerstin Bilgmann et al. using #genomics and #simulations to show that the species can still be saved, but population declines need to be reversed! …lpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ac… @MQBiology

Our review on epigenetic inheritance in plants and animals is out now in Trends in Ecology & Evolution! @dafanast and @ClareVenney systematically reviewed over 500 (of >2200) recent papers to assess the frequency and consequences of epigenetic inheritance across plant and animal taxa.

Just published in MEPS! Proud of our student Emma Petrolo This study is relevant for future fisheries management and the famous Australian ‘fish & chips’ (gummy shark is generally sold this way) @MQBiology Science and Engineering @ MQU Women in STEM Macquarie University

Today is International Day for Women and Girls in Science Women in Science Day Photo from a recent trip to undertake marine research in Port Lincoln, SA, taking our toddler with me. Inspiring women to have kids & continue working in science! #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM @MQBiology

We deployed new tags and noise loggers and collaborated with an incredible group of researcher to compile existing tracking and passive acoustic data available for pygmy blue whales in Western Australia CEBEL CMST_oceans antarctica.gov.au Dr Paul Thomson

Excited to have co-authored this research study led by Michele Thums and Luciana Ferreira combining satellite tagging & acoustic data to support the #conservation of pygmy blue #whales in the south-eastern Indian Ocean @MQBiology @WomenSciAUST @womeninmmsci Science and Engineering @ MQU

Just published in Global Ecology & Conservation. Happy to co-author: Pygmy blue whale movement, distribution and important areas in the Eastern Indian Ocean ⁦Macquarie University⁩ ⁦Women in STEM Macquarie University⁩ ⁦CEBEL⁩ ⁦@MQBiology⁩ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Exciting NEW BOOK RELEASE from Australian Geographic: Extraordinary & Endangered - stopping the extinction, one species at a time. I am happy to have contributed to this book in writing and with images in the aquatic and marine sections. Macquarie University School of Natural Sciences Macquarie University Australian Geographic

Stable isotopes reveal sympatric Australian snubfin and humpback dolphins feed at similar trophic levels, have substantial dietary overlap, and rely on similar basal food resources! Read all about it in Ecology and Evolution: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… CEBEL MERC Katharina J. Peters
