Incredibly honoured (and nervous) to have been awarded the Young Investigator Award from @neuroethology.org at this year's ICN in Vancouver - thank you so much to Daniel Robert and @laurensr.bsky.social for supporting my application, the society for the award and grant, and the lovely audience! 🥳

It was a pleasure to talk about the wonderful world of underwater sound and freshwater soundscapes with @helenczerski.bsky.social, @profstevesimpson.bsky.social and others via BBC Radio 4's Rare Earth. www.bbc.com/audio/play/m...

The GHG Protocol is such a clear example of why you can’t let industry “self regulate” and create their own standards. It crowds out robust public alternatives and inevitably gets manipulated

Danny Cullenward@ghgpolicy.org · 2mo ago

I have resigned from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's Independent Standards Board. The Protocol is openly violating its own rules and has effectively delegated forest carbon accounting standards to a secret, industry-led working group. ghgpolicy.org/s/2026-06-08...

I said ~5% of ASLO 2026 attendees were on Bluesky. Real number is closer to 11%. Google misses profiles with custom handles like @water-rox or @drdaphnia or @biogeojem. The Bluesky API doesn't. 29 → 168. Apologies, limno crew. #ASLO2026. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Multiple anthropogenic stressors can negatively impact species but can a single stressor also have multiple, concurrent impacts? Here we show that light pollution creates several simultaneous impacts to the nocturnal movement ecology of a moth and a spider: tinyurl.com/5eku5bff (1/5)

Thanks so much to ASAB and the #ASABwinter2025 organisers for a cracking conference. Not sure why I’m so excited here, I guess the yoghurt and granola had just been served…

Well finally.... a long overdue return to the Erasmus programme. Some really excellent news for UK students wishing to study in Europe, and for European students wishing to study in the UK. The potential for broadening the scheme is also a great move. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Cool colossal squid captured on film for the first time in the dark depths of the Southern Ocean!

Mongabay@mongabay.com · 9mo ago

A deep-sea expedition has recorded 30 previously unknown species from one of the planet’s most inaccessible regions, 700 meters into the depths of the Southern Ocean. The astonishing array included a carnivorous “death-ball” sponge, unknown sea stars spanning multiple families, and new crustaceans.
