On the subject of Port Jackson #sharks, another collaborative project involving Taronga's Dr Jo Day used long-term acoustic monitoring to show that PJ #sharks migrate inshore in winter to breed. PC: Bluebottle Films. #ScienceWeek doi.org/10.1071/MF16122 
Further #ConservationGenetics work led by Taronga's Dr Jo Day uncovered evidence of high breeding site fidelity in female Port Jackson #sharks (Sydney Harbour and Jervis Bay) & highlighted important areas & actions for their #ConservationManagement. publish.csiro.au/MF/MF18255
Previously the extent of reproductive philopatry (tendency to return to an area to breed) was unknown for this species, which made targeted #ConservationManagement impossible. #ConservationGenetics #MarineScience #ScienceWeek
As Taronga’s Research & #Conservation Coordinator, & a marine biologist specializing in #ConservationGenetics, Dr Jo Day, wears many hats – & most are waterproof! Jo’s work covers many areas & species, including the little-known Port Jackson #shark... #MarineScience #ScienceWeek
Data from GPS and accelerometer tags fitted to Taronga zoo-based Port Jackson #sharks allowed the team to identify resting & active swimming, as well as feeding behaviour.
Using fine and broad scale #MovementEcology data from these Port Jackson #sharks, #MachineLearning models allowed the team to identify these key behaviours in this elusive #marine #shark species. mdpi.com/1424-8220/20/2…
Marine mammal #strandings are obviously tragic events, but they can lead to some interesting and important discoveries too. If a #whale washes up on a beach near you, who ya gonna call?... #MarineMammals #MarineScience #WildlifeHealth #ScienceWeek
Well, although @janeo1000 will probably show up eventually, if you find a stranded cetacean (#whale or #dolphin) in NSW you should actually call the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service on 13000 PARKS (1300 072 757), or the ORRCA rescue hotline on 02 9415 3333.
In many cases Taronga's ARWH team will roll up their sleeves & get involved! That’s just what they do. If you’re interested in what @janeo1000 and @KarrieARose take to the beach, have a look at this Taronga TV clip:
Who wants SCIENTIFIC PIRATE FACTS? Or are they piratical science facts? Either way, put your HOOKS UP! #TLAPD #scicomm #TalkLikeAPirateDay
FUN FACT: when I'm not making music with @PDXBroadsides or sciencing, I'm the Quartermaster for #PDX's finest privateers, @pdxyar!
#PirateScience Fact 1: how much booty we got on board? We can measure that by Archimedes' Principle! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Displacem… #ITLAPD #TLAPD
