We now better understand habitat use, movement and the demographics of this threatened species in the Komodo National Park! peerj.com/articles/13302/
Telling the tale of my latest publication ... finally out into the world!
MMF's own @AliceInWaterlnd discussing her new research on #mantaray aggregations in #Komodo Nat'l Park and what that means for the species in the region!

BRAND NEW SCIENCE! 🔬
A new study led by MMF's @AliceInWaterlnd reports a large number of #mantarays in the waters of #KomodoNationalPark, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, suggesting the area may hold the key to regional recovery of the threatened species

In our newest paper led by Janis Argswara, we tested a cost-effective methodology combining visual and chemical analyses and found that visual inspection could adequately predict the chemical composition of seven out of 10 visually grouped plastics.

Even if you don’t know anything about manta rays.. 90’s videos are 😎
I made a 90s video abstract for our latest paper on manta ray cephalic lobe movements!
Have a look and check out the paper here >> link.springer.com/article/10…
Thanks to all involved!
