Later this week I'll be chatting with Kurt Samways for the next Atomic Ecology Meets - If you like your isotopes with Atlantic salmon, marine derived nutrients, innovative restoration and large dollop of Canadian nice, then this one is for you! youtu.be/mLrugYqLBh4
Restoring the salmon runs – how Canada succeeded in bringing back wild salmon
Wild salmon are in peril. But this Canadian initiative has increased salmon numbers in 6 out of 7 sites – by working with Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. “Respectful Returns” has been…

Always happy to chat and discuss specific applications tailored to your specific needs. www.atomicecology.com/nitrate

Isotopic approaches to nitrate measurements and management

This shorts user guide is a useful first step for catchment and environmental managers eager to address eutrophication and associated impacts on their watercourse. It covers some of the essential science, how to apply it and how Atomic Ecology can help.

Europe has a nitrate problem - essential to our agriculture but harmful to freshwater and coastal habitats, nitrate pollution has become fact of life. Isotopes have a huge, but largely untapped, potential to identify point sources of nitrate and also estimate where that nitrate originated.

Last chance to join the best, in-person stable isotope ecology course there is - The Survivors Guide to Stable Isotope Ecology! We have a great selection of instructors, a phenomenal venue and time to discuss your work 1:1 amongst lectures and data tutorials www.exedramc.com/courses/surv...

Excellent use of conference badges ;-)

Yes! We spend so much time using these tools for our research its hard to figure out why everyione else isnt using them too! Implications / opportunities for IsoBank here aswell.....

Adressing this imbalance is one of my goals for Atomic Ecology, and to get started I have produced a user guide for the uninitiated!

The advantages are multiple and costs are mdoest, whether characterising diet, habitat use or intra-specific variability, isotope based metrics provide robust information on the mechanics underpinning valuable stocks and fisheries.

At a workshop last week, a couple of colleagues and I started discussing why stable isotope based approaches so prevalent in academic research are rarely seen in applied fishery management.
stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

I am looking for a new job! I am one of the federal public servants whose position is being discontinued as part of the government-wide expenditure review. If you know of opportunities to work in marine and fisheries ecology, let your girl know. www.linkedin.com/in/stephanie-boudreau-9114a93a7

Starting the journey home from a wonderful week at CESAB in Montpellier. Science, discussion, new friends, a whole lotnof isotopes and maybe even a beer or three. So pleased that I dint have to get back to the Maritimes this time round!

There are just a few weeks left to sign up for my Center for Wildlife Studies "biology and ecology of sharks" online course, which you can take for transfer credit or just to learn something.

There's an optional 3-day field research experience in additon to the online lectures and assignments!

Amazing visualization of the challenges faced by right whales migrating along the eastern seaboard!
The red dot is a baby North Atlantic right whale trying to migrate up the east coast of the United states.

The blue streaks are fast moving shipping vessels entering and leaving New York City harbor.

One collision and the whale is dead.

We need *mandatory* speed limits for these vessels! 🧪🦑🌍

Very cool work Eric! Not sure if it has been done before but combining with isotopes to assess seasonal shifts in productivity associated with DNA abundance could be neat.... I have some (as yet unpublished) SIA data from eastern Canada showing similar patterns in streams there...

Is your New Years resolution to learn more about sharks? (Just kidding, I assume that's everyone's New Years resolution!)

Good news! We are offering my online take-at-your-own-pace "Biology and Ecology of Sharks and Their Relatives" course again, starting in February!
