I’m excited to share our new paper, out now in @PNASNews. We used #fossil #shark scales (denticles) preserved in coral reef sediments to reconstruct the pre-exploitation baseline of a reef shark community in Caribbean Panama. pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pna… @odealab @mccauley_lab (1/18)

There is a curious phenomenon that results from the relatively brief window of time a single human lifetime provides: we perceive the current state of the natural world as “normal”.
This is known as the Shifting Baseline Syndrome. 🧵

Our new paper provides glimmers of hope in large carnivore conservation!
We link conservation successes and failures to conservation actions and threats to provide a window into what works and what doesn’t
