In the newest episode of Clever Quokkas, host James Arvanitakis, Director of the Forrest Research Foundation, speaks with Rachel Newsome, Forrest Scholar, on researching the activity and energetics of the reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi) in contrasting seascapes. Using multi-sensor tags, her project focuses on the reef manta ray’s fine-scale 3-dimensional movement and behavioural patterns to further our understanding of their functional ecology and the role they play in coral reef ecosystems.
