This afternoon the @HarrodLab is hosting a mini symposium on isotope research in ecology and archaeology
Reporting on many things but including @chris_harrod's research trip funded by @Mineduc and @udeantofagasta#ANT1855
Up next is @CienciaMilenio
@invasalCL and @AnidInforma funded PhD student @Karininabe who is talking about her work using SIA to understand the impacts of the world's highest self-sustaining rainbow trout population in Lago Chungará (4500 m asl).
Now up (penultimate speaker) is Pablo Pérez, Universidad de Antofagasta Stable Isotope Facility manager and @AnidInforma #Fondecyt postdoc is up to discuss what we can do in UASIF and to present his work on environmental pollution and food fraud/traceability using SIA
For anyone wondering what this 'new' #Brexit deal means for UK #fishing opportunities, here is the relevant text (thanks @gwcarpenter). Same as old deal - almost everything will still be up for negotiation - in contrast to what is being claimed in Parliament today #BrexitDeal
Interested in a postdoc? Chilean national funding competition is open, and we at the @HarrodLab and @invasalCL are very happy to support applications on invasive salmonid ecology, evolution and eco-economics.

New paper from @harrodlab super post doc and isotope master, the twitterless Pablo Pérez doi.org/10.1016/j.chemospher… on Hg concentrations associated with fossil-fuel power plants. He's currently working on his #fondecyt postdoc on trophic versus abiotic transfer of metals in fish
Anchoveta: isotopos revelan una alimentación inesperada con un nivel trófico cercano a 3.5.
Pizarro et al. (2019)
Consecuencias para el manejo: ¿Debe la anchoveta ser manejada bajo el estándar de una especie de nivel trófico inferior?... peerj.com/articles/6968/
Am very happy that our article on trophic variation in Peruvian anchovy was published today in @thePeerJpeerj.com/articles/6968#Ecology#MarineBiology
This is the first paper from Jessica Pizarro's PhD on the isotope ecology of the N Chilean pelagic system. Lots more to come!
Big shifts in wetland habit in the Río Chungará, N Chile. In 2007 the endemic fish Orestias chungarensis thrived in the river. Now, only found in the lake but river supports dense stock of invasive rainbow trout.
Funding by @CienciaMilenio, allows @invasalCL to study this system
First @HarrodLab meeting of 2019 (@chris_harrod was away in 🇬🇧) featuring lots of cool new science from the undergrads, postgrads and postdocs (and possibly even the PI).
Work funded by @invasalCL / @CienciaMilenio, #Fondecyt & @TheFSBI
2019 is going to be a busy year!
Good luck to @FranSantanaS who is representing the @HarrodLab and @udeantofagasta at #SAA2019! (aka Society for American Archaeology Annual Meeting in Albuquerque). Go see her talk on using SIA to understand the archaeological development of agriculture in the Atacama Desert
