📍Fieldwork day in #ALLIES project: post-breeding colony check.

No gulls remained, but we recovered the GPS from a yellow-legged gull tagged in June that sadly died.

We keep monitoring environmental health to better understand urban ecosystem dynamics 🌍🩺.

🦈 New paper showing how juvenile white #sharks and shortfin makos coexist in the Tunisian Plateau… one more step towards understanding and conserving these Critically Endangered species in the #Mediterranean

and congrats to Chiara for leading this work!

🎣Last week blue shark tagging was a big hit!
We tagged 14 individuals and got fin samples and cloacal swabs for diet 🍽️ and genetic studies🧬

This is part of the #COTI project🦈, funded by #FEMPA, #FondosEuropeos and #Pleamar

Today is “drag and tag,” tagging sharks with drag queens while raising money for LGBQT+ youth organizations in Florida!

El projecte #COTI estudia els moviments dels taurons pelàgics al Mediterrani per reduir la captura accidental.
🦈15 tintoreres marcades revelen zones clau com el Cap de Creus i Palamós. Pesca i conservació poden anar de la mà!

The second chapter of my Ph.D. is out!
🐟 We evaluated how oceanography and fisheries influence the diet of #swordfish, a key species in Mediterranean and Atlantic foodwebs
🤟 Thanks to coauthors

Which factors shape the diet of large pelagic fish? (fish icon) We estimate swordfish diet composition and show how prey consumption is related to fishing pressure and environmental conditions.🐟

🌍 How do climate change and fishing shape the feeding habits of swordfish?
A new study reveals how environmental and human factors influence the diet of swordfish in the Mediterranean and nearby Atlantic 🦑🐠

always delighted to get back to the lab for some Mediterranean spearfish sampling 🐟

🦈 We also shared progress from the #COTI project – Reconciling fishing and Conservation of Threatened pelagic sharks by Identifying ecologically important areas in the NW Mediterranean Sea. We shared objectives and presented our methodology during the #tagging workshop

@fbiodiversidad.bsky.social

Last April, I presented part of my PhD work exploring the drivers of trophic niche partitioning among pelagic #TopPredators, like swordfish, blue and mako sharks, at the Spanish Elasmobranch Network meeting 🦈

What an opportunity to discuss key topics in #shark and ray research and #conservation!

📽️✨ Here’s a recap of the #TEF Workshop! 🦑🌊
Five days of learning and discussion on marine trophic interactions, combining traditional and cutting-edge techniques—from chemical tracers to genetics and modeling. 🧬

Huge thanks to everyone who joined! 🙌

Wrapping up a whole week of attending and teaching at the "Trophic ecology of marine organisms in past, present and future ecosystems" Workshop at @icmcsic.bsky.social organized by @imares-group.bsky.social, so excited to see the outputs 🌊

🦑🌊 This week, we’re hosting the workshop "Trophic ecology of marine organisms in past, present and future ecosystems"! 🧬🔬
Exploring traditional and cutting-edge techniques to study trophic interactions across time, from chemical tags to genetics and modelling.

During the last years, I've been studying the #TrophicEcology of fishes 🐟 using methodologies such as stomach content and #stableisotopes analyses

check some of the outputs here ;)

Hello bsky🐟

I’m Elena, an #environmental #biologist & #oceanographer, pursuing a PhD in #Biodiversity

I'm studying various aspects of the ecology of large pelagic fish like #swordfish and #sharks with @jnavarro.bsky.social @martacoll.bsky.social and Fran Ramírez at @imares-group.bsky.social

🦈🦈🦈

🔍✨ We’re preparing a special surprise for #11F, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science! 🧪🌊

We’ll be sharing it with you very soon! Stay tuned to
