Working together with management, stakeholders and the public is the key to saving Indonesian Manta rays
Dragons are #Komodo's main draw-card, but under the water manta rays are bringing hoards of tourists to the Indonesian @UNESCO World Heritage Site. #MurdochUni's @AliceInWaterlnd & @MarineMegafauna say the rays need greater protection. loom.ly/J1QGLBk 📷 @QueenofMantas

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. authors.elsevier.com/c/1d2Or…

Read this whole thread and ask yourself what more can your government/international community do? @UN #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar
The first time I visited Singapore was in 1988 as a child, at the height of the worst violence during my "first coup". I remember seeing photos of different Burmese women (a lot of them in their graduation gowns) displayed on shop windows... (1/4)
Myanmar’s terrorist junta is working to further dismantle people’s voices. #WhatsHappeninginMyanmar

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! @MQBiology @MQSciEng @FishLab_MQ @MarineMegafauna

Here’s me trying to explain an my @MarineMegafauna colleagues doing it srsly:
“It is likely that these animals can communicate in a fairly sophisticated way. Our results add to the growing evidence that manta rays are fundamentally a social species, which is crucial knowledge for #conservation”. #mantarays marinemegafauna.org/news-and…
