Seagrass restoration is valuable for marine conservation, yet replanting success is not guaranteed.
This study shows how biochemical measurements can help restoration efforts by providing early indicators of seagrass transplant’s health.

This is so cool! Such a good example of the depth of insight available from detailed ecophysiological data
Yellowfin tuna feeding varies by location.
This #BioLogging study uses electronic tagging to show differences in energy intake across the tropical Pacific, explaining size variation and informing conservation.
