Professor of Marine (isotope)Ecology at the University of Southampton. Interested in all things sciencey especially marine, fishy things, otoliths climate and guitars
Reposting as I was a bit distracted when this came out! @stableisotopeecol.bsky.social
Mat Cobain@cobainmat.eurosky.social · last wk.New paper alert!!! 🚨📃🚨 Led by the awesome Sarah Magozzi and with @clivetrue.bsky.social and many other data contributors, we test isoscape construction in the Med using extensive compiled opportunistic data (1000's of measurments) doi.org/10.1016/j.po...
Fab, thought provoking talk by @bd-stew.bsky.social about the value of citizen scientist- & fisher-collected data. From octopi to sharks, we can learn a lot from people who are in the sea every day (while we tap away on laptops & social media!). Get out there and talk/build relationships 🙌 #FSBI2026
The #FSBI2026 programme has officially been opened by esteemed guest, Lieutenant Governor of Jersey, Vice Admiral Sir Jeremy Kyd KBE! We also hear from the FSBI's honorary President, David McKenzie, who welcomes delegates and highlights the value the FSBI brings to the community.
1st talk of #FSBI2026 is from Jack Jones awardee, Rashid Sumaila, who pays tribute to Jack Jones while also professing to be the "silo smashing guy"! Rashid's talk "MPAs as economic correctives" explores ocean governance beyond western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic economics.
So many wonderful, thought provoking talks at #FSBI2026! From weird economics to shark tooth jewellery to tagging to metapopulations to stakeholder engagement to fisheries management. So diverse and interesting!! @thefsbi.bsky.social
Sunny morning start for #FSBI2026! Excursions and workshops today ahead of talk program starting tomorrow. Looking forward to welcoming people to Southampton. @thefsbi.bsky.social
First leg of our #FSBIGreenTravel journey complete! #FSBI2026 Essex contingent incoming! 🐟🐟🐟 Share your Green Travel stories (even if they arent as exciting as you swimming to Southampton) on social media, and remember to tag #FSBIGreenTravel to be in with a chance of a prize! @thefsbi.bsky.social

New #isotope #isoscape paper.. Sarah Magozzi leads a huge team building isoscapes for the #Mediterranean Tldr: state of the art statistical models cannot compensate for systematic variance in opportunistic data. Important finding in AI meta-analysis world -cannot just rely on compiled data.
🏅 Beverton Medal #FSBI2026 Simon Jennings is recognised for ground-breaking research and a lifetime contribution to fisheries science. His work has advanced ecosystem-based management and strengthened links between research and policy. More: bit.ly/4bi6mVO
Excited to share our paper in Ecology Letters @pzecology.bsky.social@jimjunker.bsky.social ker.bsky.social@wesnerlab.bsky.social! Using ~670,000 body sizes from stream food webs across North America, we show that warming does not necessarily favour smaller organisms, but depends on resource supply🌍🐟
🕺#FSBI2026 social update! Join us for a week of workshops, excursions, networking and social events, including the Gala Dinner at the Harbour Hotel on 30 July. Expect great science, great company, and a fantastic programme throughout the week. More info: tinyurl.com/FSBI2026Soci...
Really excited to be talking this morning at the inaugural MidSEC conference in Backaskog, Sweden 🐟
This is a cool discovery - maybe expected but still cool to see. I was judging headlines by whether they used ‘’ around ‘graveyard’ - but the article has necropolis without.. wish people didnt imply or encourage inference of agency or behaviour esp for popular reads.. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What's the most abundant vertebrate on earth? Forms a crucial link in the global #carbon cycle? And why don't we have any idea whether this group is adapting to #climate change and ocean #acidification? Led by my postdoc @evolbyo.bsky.social and #NSF funded - now we know! #lanternfish 🐟🏮💡🌊

Trait-based ecosystem modelling shows that impact-driven darkness and body-size-dependent extinction thresholds, rather than carbon-dioxide increase or acidification, drove most of the observed end-Cr...

New research highlighting the utility of #MuseumCollections and #stableisotopeecology. @williammills.bsky.social and others found that brown skuas in the Southern Ocean have shifted wintering strategies over the past 100 years, moving to more oceanic subantarctic waters. doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

We are delighted that Professor Alberto Naveira Garabato has been elected to the Fellowship of @royalsociety.org. It is one of the highest honours a scientist can receive and recognises Alberto's immense contribution to oceanography. Find out more: https://southampton.pulse.ly/hikofge7ab
Check out my recent #JFB Editor's Choice: "What big eyes you have! Well, until 500 m, that is": doi.org/10.1111/jfb..... Using an incredible image repository, authors show that larger eye investment peaked at 500m, after which expensive eye structures weren't worth it. Paper by Pinti et al.
A good few degrees cooler than southern England here in Rhossili.. still a LOT of pink skin on show..

I am recruiting Ph.D. students this cycle. Students interested in deep-sea fishes and phylogenetic comparative methods are an especially good fit.

For those who reached out asking how to help: This gofundme is specifically for graduate students who lost personal items, computers, tablets, etc. in the fire. We were told that these items are not retrievable or reimbursable -an added burden for students during a devastating time. Plz share 🌊💙
Mya Breitbart@viromegirl.bsky.social · 3mo agoLots of people have reached out asking how they can support us after the devastating fire in the MSL building, the heart of @cmarinescience.bsky.social Here’s one way, a GoFundMe organized by our graduate students - gofund.me/4373c6ff3. Please share widely, and thanks for helping our community!
