Collaboration was central to the success of the 2025 whale cruise. Contributions from @Seafari_SA, daily fluke matching via @HappyWhale and the work of DFFE scientists, interns and students ensured a complete survey despite challenging weather.
These findings support conservation planning for humpback whales, one of South Africa’s most iconic marine species. As lab work begins, the Top Predators Research Programme will lead the next phase of analysis.

Lees je even in op toppredators en vermeerderen icm beschikbaar leefgebied.
Kom je later terug met een wat genuanceerde reactie? Top!

Humans are the apex predators on Earth, not through physical strength but through intelligence, strategy, and technology, dominating ecosystems globally. #humans #toppredators

What do rising ocean temps mean for the #toppredators that call the #NorthwestAtlantic and #GulfofMexico home?

Top predators are confirmed as reliable biodiversity indicators
Their efficacy depended on the background taxa used for biodiversity monitoring and their ecological linkage to the predator

They're killing wolves for just existing. That's what's happeneing in Idaho, where even pups are slaughtered via snares, baits bounties.
The ESA gives the @Interior the authority to #RelistWolves to protect them from this cruelty. @SecDebHaaland, what are you waiting for?

This beautiful torpedo-shaped #fish is one of the #toppredators in the #ocean environment. There is a real chance that wild populations will not recover and may go #extinct. @WildlifeSOS

🖋🦭 Research Paper Alert - Marine Top Predators
"Habitat model forecasts suggest potential redistribution of marine predators in the southern Indian Ocean"

Marine top predator #biodiversity in the Southern Ocean is predicted to be redistributed based on climate model outputs. This may have substantial #ecological, #conservation, and #managment implications.

In the UK, many people dream about bringing back this beautiful species.
They really should do it!
Toppredators are making the difference

One long standing myth is they need ice to spawn, they don’t! The UK is also not too warm for them! They need a temperature ideally of 4°c but can produce young at up to 7°c though with a much higher mortality rate. #burbotuk #rewildling

This morning I got to give an in person (!!!) lecture for the #TopPredators course here @UiTNorgesarktis! This was my first time giving a lecture (as opposed to a talk or presenting my own research). It was great getting to talk about new exciting research, even if it was at 8am!

Dus door alleen de toppredators aan te pakken redden we de weidevogels 🙄
