Lab animals deserve enriching environments, but what if our efforts to help unintentionally cause harm? In our ES&T perspective, we explore how leaching plastics and plastic additives may impact fish health, and your experiments...

In this new preprint on ecoevorxiv we provide a detailed, practical guide to measuring CTmax and CTmin in aquatic animals.

Amazing team of authors! 🧪🐟🦑

Had a beautiful writing retreat with the lab group (including @gradito.bsky.social and @lkuchenmuller.bsky.social) last week 🥰

We drove down the #GreatOceanRoad to Airey’s Inlet and had an honestly-productive writing session with lots of beach breaks 🏖️ Can’t wait to share what we were working on!

A big dramatic cliff and blue skies in the background, which is reflected in the wet sandy beach in the foreground. Two people are walking on the beach, and some small waves are washing in.

A fuzzy (my hand shook during the long exposure!) picture of the ocean at night from a sandy cliff. There is a bit of orange on the horizon from the end of the setting sun, and the first and brightest stars are visible.

An extremely strange shaped beach house, with lots of weird corners and rooms popping out. It is olive green (generously) and there are lots of shrubs and grasses surrounding it. Big blue skies above.

The beach in early morning, with someone stretching or maybe doing a sun salutation. The sun is bright and makes a path on the water. There are some big clumps of seaweed and kelp on the beach, and two small waves visible on the water.

While trying to tackle a metabarcoding project during my PhD in 2018, it became clear that most packages were designed with microbiologists in mind. @morgan-ellis.bsky.social and I now present a package made by ecologists, for ecologists; EGgPLant. It is now available at github.com/mrellis96/EG...

GitHub - mrellis96/EGgPLant: EGgPLant: An end-to-end metabarcoding pipeline by ecologists, for ecologists.

Summer in Australia means it’s time to hop in the water! Yesterday, in the #tidepools on Wadawurrung Country at Barwon Heads, we found lots of snails (and snail eggs!), as well as a beautiful chiton and a few shore crabs. #auswildlife 🦑 #marinelife

Cloudy skies over the Barwon River headwaters, with many large, dark, rocks popping up above the tide. In the foreground, sea grass filled tidepools are visible among the rocks.

A beautiful little orange and green striped chiton and a small, completely black snail share an algae covered rock.

An alien looking, translucent gelatinous crescent filled with tiny yellow specks that will one day be baby snails sits exposed above the water on a rock covered in baby mussels and limpets.

A small disgruntled crab pinching the hand (ok, just one finger) that has so rudely removed it from the water. The green Barwon Bluff rises in the background to blue and cloudy skies.

Hi Jenni, could you add me? I am investigating the allometry of blood PO2 in rainbow trout at the moment.

I was always hoping there was a way to find the salmonid scientists on here easily. Now there is! Please comment to be added, it is (very) incomplete 🙏

Giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama) aggregate between May and August in Whyalla, South Australia, and incredible mating displays can be observed! 🦑 Photo from 2023.
