Excited for this one hot off the press (& while we happen to be at #SMM2022)! Iron and dive capacity as a novel cost of reproduction in a marine mammal. Today at @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146…. @WHOI @NSF (NMFS 17411)
🦭Antarctic Weddell seals may strategically time their most extreme dives, minimizing surface time and maximizing foraging time during daylight hours. @michellershero @WHOI @DanielPCosta2 nature.com/articles/s4200…
🦭How does iron impact seal pup survival? #WHOI biologist @michellershero + partners spent much of the winter investigating this question on a remote barrier island off #NovaScotia, supervised by a band of feral horses. Read all about it: go.whoi.edu/sealsonsable
⁉️🦭🗺️ #InternationalSealDay Trivia: How far can a gray seal pup travel on its own in a month? 📲 Find out– and see more awesome pics of seals, wild horses, and field work from @michelleshero: go.whoi.edu/gray-seals 📸 taken under permits DFO 23-28A and NMFS 25794 © #WHOI
🦭🐴 What do you get when you cross gray seal pups + wild horses? An amazing photograph, for one! But for #WHOI marine biologist @michellershero, it’s just what happens when she collaborates with @FishOceansCAN on #SableIsland, NS! #NSFfunded with @NSF @TexasTech @UA_System
The remotely-operated vehicle #ROVJason was just beginning its descent to the #WestMataVolcano, off Samoa when the volcano exploded! Jason dives have yielded no shortage of breathtaking adventure stories– check out 3 of the most memorable: go.whoi.edu/jason-stories #NSFfunded
A great example showing why all these Antarctic science projects are so important! These seals helped map the local bathymetry --- critical to knowing how water masses will interact with warming ice shelves too.

Thank you @ScienceMagazine @NewsfromScience for telling our story. Antarctic science is more important than ever in today's changing world. We just feel 'gutted' by this huge loss. science.org/content/articl…
The U.S. Antarctic research program is in trouble, as canceled field seasons imperil data sets and demoralize researchers. #LongReads scim.ag/46b
Woohoo! 🙌 Go Macquarie seal team!
It’s been a month since seal tagging on Macquarie Island 🦭 with the Seal Team and @AntarcticSciAus, @IMOS_AUS , @SydneyMarine, @AusAntarctic. Time for an update... 🧵 (1/3)
🦭 Cuteness alert! 🦭 A #WHOI-led study found that nursing Weddell seals provide so much iron to their pups that they have to limit diving & eating. Sound familiar, moms? Learn more: go.whoi.edu/weddell-seals 📸 @michelleshero NMFS permit 17411-03 #NSFfunded
Really awesome work in @caroline_rzu 's first dissertation chapter out today! She's been using thermal cameras to 'pull out' and amplify animal respiration and heart rate - using only videos, so completely non-invasive!
