📢 New paper out!
Cetacean strandings in Scotland have risen 125% over the past 30 years. Our study gives the first comprehensive picture of when, where, and which species strand, providing a baseline to guide conservation.

Ever wondered what hoverfly sperm look like? 🪰💡… Well, me neither!
But as you might imagine, they are really tiny: around 15 microns. 🔬 That’s approximately 100 times smaller than a 1mm measurement you’d find on a ruler. 📏
Female marmalade hoverflies store sperm (left pic) in spermathecae (right).

Download the new @strandings.bsky.social app, Beachtrack! 📲
By recording beach walks you can easily & effectively help monitor Scottish coastlines. Knowing where people are and aren't walking gives us a clearer picture of what’s happening along the shore🦭🌊
