Last call ⏳🚨

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...

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

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🪶

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:

🦈🚨 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. 🌊🦑🧪

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:
