Incredible biomass of bigeye jacks at Malpelo Island, Colombia

New paper lead by @etspencer.bsky.social We use biologging to understand why great hammerheads may specialize on large prey like other sharks. If they hunt blacktips off south Florida then they probably only have to catch a shark once per month link.springer.com/journal/442

New paper! Electric rays can use their electric discharge to repel large sharks. Here a white shark carrying a camera approaches a Pacific electric ray. Something caused it to sprint 20 m shallower!

New paper! We review how to use AI to analyze animal borne camera tag footage. Important with how large these datasets are getting!

New paper on stingray activity patterns in Belize. There is lots of individual variability with regards what time of day rays are active, but all seem to be highly active in shallow water. These may represent important foraging habitats

Florida is a place where we are used to living amongst large reptiles!

New paper! We use telemetry to identify behaviors of goliath grouper while they are in a seasonal spawning aggregation. Behaviors will vary based on lunar phase, water temperature and current strengths. www.int-res.com/abstracts/me...
