Thank you to everyone involved in the 14th ICRS virtual conference. An amazing showcase of ground breaking coral reef research. Well done and thank you to all of the presenters! 🙏 @icrs_2021 #coral #coralreef #science #virtualconference #202
Thanks everyone for following my #sharkweek instagram takeover posts! And thanks to @icrs.students for having me. This last photo was taken during our field work in French Polynesia. To learn more about my research, you can follow me on Twitter (@ e
And no #sharkweek #takeover would be complete without some actual pictures of sharks. This was taken during one of my favorite dives at the Blue Corner in Palau. #erintakesover #diving #shark
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE. Moving forward, we aim to extend this method to other locations to examine broader geographic patterns of change in reef shark communities. Currently, we are exploring patterns in denticle accumulation along Panama's Pacif
SHARKS BEFORE HUMANS. We recently used fossil shark scales to reconstruct an empirical shark baseline before major human impact in Caribbean Panama and quantify how much the modern shark community in the region had shifted from this historical r
TINY FOSSILS, BIG STORIES. The denticle record can reveal shark community change over long ecological timescales to help contextualize modern shark ecology and guide management goals. This information can help us better understand what was natural in
NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK. Back in the lab, the sediment samples are meticulously sieved, treated with acetic acid, and sorted under a microscope to isolate the denticles. I am lucky to have an awesome team of research assistants to help with our lab and
DIGGING INTO THE PAST ON CORAL REEFS. Coastal shark populations have declined steeply in many regions, yet it is rarely clear what shark abundance and diversity were like before human impact. Fossil denticles can help us go back in time. To
