🚨 First PhD chapter is out! My work thus far, with @andy2dobson.bsky.social

We found that formerly common species have declined the fastest, on average.

North American bird declines are driven by reductions in common species
Declines in North American birds are driven not by rare species vanishing but by sharp losses among formerly common species.

There are constant interactions of marine megafauna with fisheries of different scope, depending on the metier/fishing gear, the ocean area, the season, etc. Some ETP species can be caught incidentally becoming “bycatch”.

Coordinated by the University of Barceloned REDUCED is formed by 13 partners from 5 different countries, from Europe and Africa. Our aim is to mitigate bycatch of endangered marine megafauna in the Eastern Central Atlantic Ocean (ECAO) by working cooperatively with relevant stakeholders in the area

The epibiont Xenobalanus globicipitis indicates differences in swimming kinematics among cetaceans - Marine Biology
Most research on cetacean swimming has been conducted on captive dolphins due to limited accessibility to wild cetaceans. Epibiotic barnacles have been used as indirect evidence of cetacean hydrodynam...

#TBT May 2024, when I had the pleasure to talk about epibiotic #crustaceans living on #cetacean and #seaturtles at
the Museum of Comparative Zoology, @harvard.edu, while visiting The Giribet Lab - great PhD wrap-up!

#Epibionts are living beings living on other organisms, and useful indicators too!

#Barnacles are a nice example, indicating e.g., sea turtle habitat use and fisheries interaction:
