🚨 New paper out today! 🚨
We tested whether you can ID marlin species just by scanning their fin spines with a handheld XRF scanner — and turns out, you (mostly) can. 🐟🔬💥🧪

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.
