🧵New paper + open database drop!
The Marine Organismal Body Size ( #MOBS ) Database is now live—85,000+ marine species, from plankton to whales, with standardized size data.
A huge leap for biodiversity, conservation, and climate science. #science #marinelife onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

For many marine species, all we have is a name. Now, thanks to a huge effort led by @drcraigmc.bsky.social, for 85,000 species we have body size as well. Version 1 of the MOBS database is published today: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Enjoy! 🌐🧪

Fantastic, big congratulations Jarno!
The professor suits you very well!

To get started here, I am re-posting some tweets with recent publications I am still very excited about!

After years of Twitter getting worse and worse, I felt it was time to move on….

Hey Bluesky!
Excited to explore this new space and reconnect with familiar faces (and hopefully some new ones too).
Mainly looking for- and sharing science content here.
