Does ocean acidification alter fish behavior? Fraud allegations create a sea of doubt May. 6, 2021 , 2:00 PM When Philip Munday discussed his research on ocean acidification with more than 70 colleagues and students in a December 2020 Zoom meeting, he wasn’t just giving a confident overview of a decade’s worth of science. Munday, a marine ecologist at James Cook University (JCU), Townsville, was speaking to defend his scientific legacy. Munday has co-authored more than 250 papers and drawn ...

April 19, 2021 David Williams, a University of Wyoming professor of botany, and his colleagues at other institutions recently published a paper in the journal Conservation Physiology regarding what may be the world’s longest-living cactus species. The high-elevation cacti growing on Bolivia’s Altiplano, which are more than 400 years old, are a threatened species. Using geochemical isotope methods, Williams and his peers show that the conservation of this species, the pasacana, or Echinopsi...

Whale sharks can recover from serious injuries at an “extraordinary rate” and even regrow partially removed dorsal fins, a new study has found. The research, published in the journal Conservation Physiology, shows that the world’s largest fish can recover from lacerations and abrasions, often caused by collisions with boats, in a matter of weeks. Lead author Freya Womersley, a PhD student with the University of Southampton based at the Marine Biological Association, UK, said that the enda...

A new study has for the first time explored the extraordinary rate at which the worlds largest fish, the endangered whale shark, can recover from its injuries. The findings reveal that lacerations and abrasions, increasingly caused through collisions with boats, can heal in a matter of weeks and researchers found evidence of partially removed dorsal fins re-growing.
