If you have any elasmobranch and killer whale interaction records we want to hear about it!

Please reach our team with the email below, would love to include them in our global review!

Ever thought about using shark jaws for stable isotopes from teeth? This is a must read: doi.org/10.1016/j.ma...

#StableIsotopes @meyer-sci.bsky.social @sawsharkman.bsky.social

Awesome Honours work by Laura Holmes. Results will be interested for anyone working with shark teeth and isotopes.

New genetic evidence of Killer Whales attacking White Sharks in Australia, selectively targeting their livers, suggests this behavior is more widespread than previously thought: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... @bellareeves.bsky.social et al. #killerwhales #orcas #sharks

Hi! I’m a PhD student in South Australia looking at the diet and movement of sharks and rays using #stableisotopes, #fattyacids, and #acoustictelemetry. I’m analysing how species partition resources to coexist in different environments 🦈

Hello! I’m a PhD student using biochemical techniques to investigate the diet and nutrition of southern bluefin tuna in relation to changing population distributions in southern Australia. #fish #stableisotopes #fattyacids

The Mysterious Case Of Killer Whale Predation On White Sharks In Australia

www.forbes.com/sites/meliss...

Recent findings used wildlife forensics and citizen science data to provide the first confirmed evidence of killer whale predation on white sharks in Australia.

New paper from my PhD 🐬🧬

Admixture is increasing genetic diversity and adaptive potential in low latitude killer whales promoting an genetic rescue effect.

Another year, another trip on Norfolk Island, but this time to deploy SPLASH tags to record tiger shark use of the water column across their migrations #NorfolkSharks @meyer-sci.bsky.social @parksaustralia.bsky.social

A few weeks ago in Boston, I met the organizers behind the Stand Up for Science (@standupforscience.bsky.social) rally and spoke with them about their motivations in the buildup to the event. Read more in @science.org

The Southern Shark Ecology Group has been tracking Tigers in the waters around Norfolk Island, with arrival and departure the same as Wedge-tailed Shearwaters. A huge 75% of their diet is seabirds! We are in the 1st stage of a collab to see if shark and shearwater migration areas match.#Seabirds🪶

🦈🚨 New Paper! 🚨🦈

I am really excited to share the first chapter of my masters thesis which was just published! In this study we used an archived collection of white #shark vertebrae to investigate the population structure and ecological role of white sharks in AUS using stable isotope analysis. 🌊🦑🧪

Science is full of what sound like contradictions. Great example this week with tow papers on the structure of Australian the white shark. Population:
One supports two populations: www.publish.csiro.au/WR/WR24132
The other supports one population:

**Antarctic POST-DOC announcement incoming!**

Sarah Flanagan, Jong-U Kim, Jeong-Hoon Kim & I are teaming up to study population genomics of emperor penguins in the Ross Sea. 20-month position available, will inform the Ross Sea MPA review. Join us in NZ! 🧪🌍🦑🦉

New #sharkscience from @dr-yannis.bsky.social and colleagues. Movements of oceanic whitetip sharks in French Polynesia. They move a long way, but given the size of FP they rarely moved to the waters of other nations.

A fascinating new study from a great team of scientists, including @bellareeves.bsky.social and @meyer-sci.bsky.social!

They isolated killer whale DNA from the wounds of dead white shark that washed up in Australia without its liver:

New paper from my PhD provides genomic evidence that white shark livers are on the menu for Aussie killer whales!

Hello! I’m a research scientist at Flinders University using biochem🧪 (fatty acids and stable isotopes) to understand predator-prey interactions🦈🐟🦑. #shark #ray #fish #killerwhale
