Nature's blueprint defines species makeup for sharks, rays
A new study led by shark ecologist and FIU alumna Naomi F. Farabaugh found the type of species and number of sharks and rays differed between islands. The reason? Natural factors.

Great to see this paper come out at link.springer.com/article/10.1.... Former lab grad student Lanie Esch did a great job looking at fish in the FL aquarium trade and working out which were the biggest risks as future invasive species based on release probabilities and chances of establishing.

Annual GRFP thread, more relevant than ever (# of awards down 50%).
This thread is for students who didn't win the GRFP today. Who are wondering if they belong in science, or scrolling through posts that start "So excited to announce..." with a little spurt of bitterness they aren’t proud of. 1/9
