Interesting read on carbon emissions and food choices: meat vs veg, local vs non-local.

Marine Evolution 2020 is calling for session proposals due 15 Feb (ccmar.ualg.pt/en/page/marine…); organized by the Centre of Marine Sciences of Algarve (CCMAR), 12-15 October 2020 in Tavira, Portugal. The first Marine Evolution conference was fantastic!

Lordy. The pet trade. Such an ecological disaster.

(5/5) These results emphasise a need for large sample sizes to estimate local and regional variance in isotopes to ground truth expectations prior to conducting inferential isotopic analysis in migratory species.

(4/5) Fortunately, we had also sampled foraging turtles from south QLD. We were surprised to find that local isotopic variance at this south QLD site encompassed the values observed at the regional level in widely foraging tracked turtles.

(3/5) We planned to use satellite-tracked turtles with known foraging grounds to build a model that could discriminate foraging grounds. But despite large spatial differences in foraging of tracked turtles, there was no clear-cut geographic structure in isotopic variation.

(2/5) We sampled loggerhead turtles at their nesting site in Mon Repos, QLD, Aus. Using stable isotopes, C13 and N15, the initial goal was to discriminate foraging grounds of these nesting turtles based on expectations of geographically structured isotopic variation due to diet.

(1/5) Excited to share a collab I was invited to be a part of! We highlight the potential pitfalls of using stable isotopes to infer the foraging grounds of migratory animals, focusing on marine sea turtle in Australia. The work is out now in @MEPS_IR! More details in thread. twitter.com/MEPS_IR/status…

What stresses me out is how the phrasing implies scientists are the "bad guys". 😪

We leveraged findings from whole-organism physiology to predict which functional groups of genes have diverged under selection between an invasive, warm-adapted marine mussel and three cold-adapted #Mytilus species in our new study in @molecology @CRiginos

My girl @iva_pops PhD work is making the headlines: She and her collabs show that Aus has a cryptic endemic native Mytilus mussel and it has been hybrising with an invasive species for (possibly) 100s of years! twitter.com/iva_pops/statu…
