Our new paper, based on data from 1,705 studies, shows that pesticides are toxic to organisms they are not intended to harm, including fungi, microbes, plants, insects, & vertebrates such as ourselves. Questions the wisdom of applying over 3 million tonnes of them every year...

Important new paper on global ship-strike risk for #whales 🐋🚢by @anna__nisi @UW & team >95% of hotspots are in national waters & could be protected with reduced ship speeds 🚢 Protecting just 2.6% of the ocean reduces risk in all hotspots 🐋🐋 1/3

#PhD opportunity! Mapping Arctic #marinemammal distributions ❄️🐳 🦭❄️ w ship & satellite surveys, investigating their interactions with vessels Led by @Lhm3Lauren w @BAS_News (me & @WhalesFromSpace), @univofstandrews, @DFO_MPO & @HX_Expeditions 🚢 ❄️ https://t.co/neeua7L88e

Antarctic blue whales display high movement rates around the Southern Ocean. Estimated 8-32% movement rates from one ocean basin to another each year, and therefore circumpolar-wide complete mixing in under 10 years. https://t.co/tMn8QZMN6g New by @ZoeRand, me, @polarbiome

This season, an international team of researchers worked on @BAS_News led research project “Hungry Humpbacks.” You helped to support this project which received funds from SGHT! Read more: https://t.co/edLcUqhgRB #SouthGeorgia #Krill #WhaleResearch #BritishAntarcticSurvey

Proudly presenting our newest paper on the remarkable long-distance movements of South African southern right whales. @kenneders @alex_zerbini @rugged_chris #Science #whalemigration https://t.co/PfCZD7sbDk

The best thing my students ever gave me. I thought they were just really diligent note-takers the whole semester, but it turns out they were compiling a book of all the craziest things I'd said, all *very much* out of context. It's 152 pages long.

Researchers tracked the migration of fin whales using @Tags4Wildlife LIMPET tags off the Antarctic Peninsula. There has only been knowledge of their behavior in the summer months, but now there is insight into migration and breeding/wintering grounds. https://t.co/G86Szl6o8T

Look at the remarkable journey Cyclopia has undertaken. This female #southernrightwhale was tagged Walkerbay in October 2022 and has traveled more than 30 000 km with her calf #migration #southernocean #tracking @UPTuks @UPnasagric

Successful field season in Western Australia as part of the Mirnong Maat project 🐳 Thanks so much @KateSprogis @RobHarcourt for having us & big thanks to the folks at DBCA. This work was supported by a bursary from @Ant_Sci_Ltd. Can't wait to get analysing the data! 💻
