🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

How can pollutants affect the success of non-native species? Isaac Ligocki & colleagues find the potential influence of chemical pollution on invasion success remains largely unexplored and recommend its inclusion in conservation and restoration

Thinking about all of my US colleagues today that work for USGS, USFWS, US Parks Service, NOAA and the EPA. From front line environmental practitioners to scientists and policy makers, these folks ensure that waters are swimmable, fish are edible, that natural areas are accessible, etc, etc, etc.

Our latest #SORTEE-led paper is out now in #ProcB!

We reviewed data/code-sharing policy clarity, strictness & timing across 275 EcoEvo journals

We also worked with #ProcB & #EcologyLetters to assess initial compliance with sharing mandates. Huge team effort! 👉 doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Excited to share our new paper led by Jake Martin (@jake-m-martin.bsky.social) out in ES&T Letters! We show that behavioral ecotox studies often test pharmaceuticals at concentrations much higher than those found in nature!

✨Out Now✨ The outcome of my 1st ever #guppy experiment (from 2021!) w @ccioannou.bsky.social & @jtroscianko.bsky.social

We asked: How detectable are guppies to visual predators under different env. conditions?👇

Thrilled to announce that the brilliant Dr Gabriela Melo has officially graduated with her PhD! 🎓 Her thesis shows how the antidepressant fluoxetine can disrupt sexual selection in fish—even at the trace levels found in rivers. (1/5)

Wild to see our new pharmaceutical pollution and salmon migration paper in @science.org covered on @colbertlateshow.bsky.social!

Benzodiazepines can help us feel like the world is a little less scary. Seems like they do the same for salmon—which probably isn't good for the fish. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Over the moon to finally share our new study in @science.org led by the amazing @jack-brand.bsky.social!

Pharmaceutical pollution at environmentally realistic levels alters behaviour and migration in Atlantic salmon, directly affecting survival

Excited to share our latest publication: 'Evidence of the impacts of pharmaceuticals on aquatic animal behaviour (EIPAAB): a systematic map and open access database'. 🐟💊

This database consolidates 48 years of research, highlighting the effects of pharmaceutical pollutants on aquatic life.

Just published! Check out Martin et al’s new #SystematicMap and open access database on the impacts of pharmaceuticals on aquatic animal behaviour.
