What is the function of the elongate tail in elasmobranch #rays? A 🧵 and a new hypothesis. A paper with @juliachaumel.bsky.social in @royalsociety.org Proceedings B (shorturl.at/PmfYD) shows that the tail of cownose rays (and a few other species studied so far) has an elaborate lateral line.

I am excited to share our paper out in Journal of Fish Biology which describes an aggregation of Atlantic tarpon which may be of potential reproductive or migratory significance off Miami Beach!

Baby Shark Sighting Misrepresented in Media Coverage
A photograph of a small great white shark made headlines, but for the wrong reasons. The coolest aspect of the study was missed.

For anyone new who is like "Wtf is Sarah talking about", I run a science ed nonprofit that matches scientists with classrooms, scout troops, libraries, etc for Q&A sessions about science. We offer this program for free, which is why I'm always asking for money on here lol
