500,000 Taxa on iNaturalist! https://www.inaturalist.org/blog/103155-500-000-taxa-on-inaturalist

"thatโ€™s 23% of all known species on Earth... #Birds stand out: nearly all species have been observed on #iNaturalist. 349 species (2%) are yet to be recorded... For #reptiles, #amphibians, & #mammals there are about 10x as many unobserved... Like birds, most unobserved species only remain in tropical regions. This is not the case for #fish, #plants, #invertebrates, & #fungi where there are still many left to observe in all parts of the globe"

Did you know that it's not just corals or #fish who can glow? #Research has found that most #amphibians glow as well - even if it's not visible to human eyes. Protect them from #extinction, be #Vegan and #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife

This is a fish ladder in Switzerland. It allows fish to get around a dam.

I'm putting up this painting of two Australian Blue Mackerals just for @Girl Of The Sea.
Enjoy!

Off Ecuador's Galapagos, a former #shark-#poaching ship's new mission https://phys.org/news/2024-07-ecuador-galapagos-shark-poaching-ship.html

When #Ecuador's navy seized a Chinese-flagged ship off the #Galapagos in 2017, its hold brimmed with tons and tons of poached #fish including hammerhead and thresher #sharks. Today, the vessel has been repurposed for environmental patrols of those same waters, helping to hunt down predatory vessels of the kind it once was. It has also been renamed #Hualcopo for an Indigenous leader of centuries ago.



Metabarcoding, metagenomics and other omics methods revolutionize the study and monitoring of aquatic ecosystems. Come and join the 350 scientists and managers who will be discussing the use and development of these methods.

The media frenzy about shark bites is always over the top, given the very low risk, but this is a new one: the headline simply says "shark spotted near swimmers at Florida beach." In other words, the shark was swimming at home, bothering exactly no one. https://news.sky.com/video/shark-spotted-near-swimmers-at-florida-beach-12916154 #sharks #fish #animals #animalwelfare #animalrights


Hoping to see some new #science folks exploring Mastodon so figured itโ€™s time for another #introduction - Iโ€™m Mya, a professor at the University of South Florida College of Marine Science. Our lab studies #microbes (bacteria, viruses, protists) in the oceans and other environments and also works on #fish egg identification. I also post about my cute dog and cat a lot! #USFCMS #ocean #marine #oceanography #microbiology #virology #research #seagrass #urchin #academia


Excited to share our new paper - Evaluation of DNA metabarcoding for identifying #fish eggs: a case study on the West #Florida Shelf - published today in PeerJ

Here goes nothing - let's see if this old dog can learn new tricks! I'm Mya, a professor at the University of South Florida. Here's my happy lab enjoying the Florida sunshine - we love #marine #science , #virology, #genomics, #oceanography #phage #seagrass #fish


Friday nights are slack food nights, so tonight it was cheesy potatoes with shallots and bacon, and crumbed fish fillets (because I like the irony of an atheist eating fish on fridays).
