We analysed lifetime vertebral composition trends of natural tags that reflect environmental conditions - barium, strontium, magnesium, and manganese - in #sharks from the Bristol Channel and English Channel, UK.
We then compared composition between sampling sites, life stages, and by sex.

Happy to share some more #sharkscience from my #PhD, recently published in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science.
We used smallspotted #catsharks (n = 49) as a model species for Northeast Atlantic elasmobranchs to demonstrate regional applicability of LA-ICP-MS to investigate habitat use.

First post (gulp) is some #PhD #SharkScience work recently published.
Working with @cbmwc.bsky.social we use #BRUVS to document heterogeneous habitat use in nursehounds and smallspotted catsharks in #CardiganBay UK - temporal niche partitioning may facilitate coexistence but more research is needed
