Quantifying maternal reproductive output of chondrichthyan fishes. From Al Harry, @ivalina.bsky.social and @apiercy.bsky.social

Some of you may have seen @tkingfisher.bsky.social’s Hugo acceptance speech involving the water beetle that walks out of a frog if it’s eaten.

Happy to give this place a try. Hopefully less pseudoscience quackery over here.
