We whole genome sequenced ancient and modern Bluefin tuna and find evidence for a demographic decline beginning around the year 1900, and a loss of genetic diversity. Collab between @Unibo

Using stable isotope analyses of archaeological bones, we find Atlantic bluefin tuna have become more pelagic in recent centuries and lost a Black Sea trophic niche by the 1980s—likely due to exploitation. Great collab with @York_BioArCh and @MMAlexande

PhD cum laude ✅ Thankful for a great few years in Bologna and delighted to announce I will begin a permanent research position @NIVAforskning in Oslo 🇳🇴 in September 🥳 Excited to work on ecosystem consequences of offshore wind and contribute towards the green transition 🌍
Very nice multi-disciplinary summer school on human impacts organized by Canan @ZooArchGIA and others
Only a few days left before the May 15 deadline to apply for the summer school Anthropocene: how humans shaped the earth. @UGsummerschools We've got an excellent line-up of speakers and discussants.
Groningen and Wadden Sea! Here we come!

Pleasure to be a part of the @palaeovc which is kicking off today…
Presenting on my PhD findings, how historical ecology has value for policy, and also the challenges of making these data relevant.
Thanks to the organisers and to a good friend @PAbondio
Delighted to see our article in collaboration with @UoYArchaeology out in @TheFSBI
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
We looked at the variation in stable isotopes across vertebrae 🦴 centra in Atlantic bluefin tuna 🐟 and found multiple years of foraging behavior are likely archived!
Delighted to have our recent article selected as #EditorsChoice in @ICES_ASC 💪🏻💪🏻
✍️ Authors of the latest #EditorsChoice studied archaeological, archived, and modern vertebrae to reconstruct the historical catch-at-size and early-life growth of #Atlantic #bluefinTuna ➡️ ices.dk/news-and-events/news…
📚 Read the paper ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsad…
@AdamJonAndrews
We studied a 2kyr time-series of bluefin tuna vertebrae and found more rapid juvenile growth for the 1900s and 2000s. Is this fisheries induced evolution? Climate driven? Or a biomass effect? @ICES_ASC @OxfordJournals @OUPAcademic – tinyurl.com/3v9cv6fx
Was such a fun study to design since there was little precedent of using fish vertebrae annuli. Happy to make use of the calculator tunaarchaeology.org/lengthes… and @SeaChangesITN

🥳 I submitted my PhD thesis last week, entitled ‘Unlocking ecological history using fish remains: Eco-evolutionary consequences of exploitation in the Atlantic bluefin tuna’. I’m looking back on fond memories from the making of 7 (!!) papers 🧬 🐟 and catching up on sleep 😴 😄
Sat analysing ancient genomes in Bologna 🧬 with skills I gained in Oslo this spring where I was hosted by Bastiaan Star @archaeogenomics at @CEESUiO I’m reminiscing of fond memories out of work too - I hope Bastiaan has been training hard for more fun times soon 🚴 🚴

Glad to have had the opportunity to present at #FSBI2022 a couple of weeks ago where I met so many inspiring academics. Conference season is in full flow, with some exciting genomic results to be shared soon! 🧬 🐟
Following on from our keynote speaker, we have @AdamJonAndrews who talks to us about his work on bioarcheology and Atlantic bluefin tuna, with insights into the influence of climate and exploitation, with plans to sequence ancient DNA #FSBI2022 @fsbi2022
So many curious young faces this morning at St Wulstans Primary in my hometown. Talking careers in science, climate change and DNA with the next generation 💪🏻

I had the pleasure of competing in the 3 minute thesis finals competition at @Unibo yesterday and even managed to place third winner!! 🥳 I was happy to have shaken off some nerves and represent @SeaChangesITN
You can watch all the great finalists here:

Very happy to share our new article where we developed a tool to estimate the length of archaeological tuna 🐟

@RachelMWinter_ @louuci
Delighted to share our new article in @ICES_ASC where we review the exploitation history of Atlantic bluefin tuna and discuss how studying the past using zooarchaeology can inform the present doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsab…
As part of this work we assembled a database of zooarchaeological records for BFT and established tunaarchaeology.org to both house them and track them as new discoveries come to light in the future

Very happy to share our new paper in @SciReports which investigates long-term population dynamics and the impact of #overfishing on #Atlanticbluefin tuna as part of the @SeaChangesITN nature.com/articles/s41598-0…
Very fortunate to be working with tuna remains from this fantastic Roman-era fish salting and Garum factory in Sicily. Buena suerte con la excavación, nos vemos en un par de semanas ;) @ProyectoGarum
El yacimiento de Portopalo di Capo Pasero es - además de espectacular - del máximo interés para comprender las industrias del mar en la Antigüedad. #Arqueomania en Sicilia.

Ancient Atlantic bluefin tuna C, N, and S isotope data are on their way to disentangle past diets and environments! Thanks @York_BioArCh @MMAlexande. Special thanks to @WillemiendeKock and @rachel_m_winter for being the best housemates and lab mates for two months 🧪🎣
Thanks @York_BioArCh for having us! A successful @SeaChangesITN secondment despite lockdown! What an effort! Stay tuned for glorious archaeological marine vertebrate isotope data from the Med!! 🐟🐠🐢
