I am once again asking, how old is this shark?

1/6 In animals with strict hierarchies, theory predicts that higher ranked individuals should be more aggressive and perform fewer helpful behaviors. But is this true in anemonefish, where group members are unrelated? #teamfish #AnimBehav2021

CUT the strings before throwing out. Reaching as many people as possible: please pass on.

Testing random #clownfish to calibrate @LoligoSystems. Can't tell if they are swimming or dancing?

Why do birds have different eye colors? The short answer is we don't know. The long answer is in our new review article, up now as a preprint! We look at the pigments, genes, and evolutionary forces that give birds eyes their colors. ecoevorxiv.org/5h4pk/

Lab day off - escaping a WWII bunker in the Swiss Alps🏔 and fondue 🧀🫕

Not always sunny in the tropics Jules Schligler École Pratique des Hautes Études - PSL @INEE_CNRS criobe_pf .... but the fish keep laying eggs, often leading to cool papers such as besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13… @daphnecortese @r_beldade Shaun Killen @AmelieCrespel Tommy Norin #fishsci ANR - Agence nationale de la recherche

Just finished our first sampling of 2023 on Lizard Island LIRRF

Publishing together works on the link between micro and macro evolution -> it can be done here:

Super happy about my new paper with Oscar Puebla in Molecular Ecology where we dissect color pattern variation in the hamlets! 🐠 🎊 Check it out here, it’s open access: doi.org/10.1111/mec.17… (1/2)

Very happy to announce our new paper in GBE (Genome Biology and Evolution) on the genetic basis of clownfish evolution. Check it here: doi.org/10.1093/gbe/ev… with a cool cover image

On the cover of the most recent issue of Ethology: Nocturnal parental care in the clown anemonefish Amphiprion percula, led by Madison Pacaro, with Tina Barbasch, Michaela Rogers, Juan Chavez Andonie, John Majoris with thanks to BU Biology

I was thrilled to present my first talk at an international conference #IPFC2023 on the evolution of stripe patterns in clownfish, thanks Salamin's Lab for this amazing experience 🐠

Cool ideas: Positive spatial autocorrelation in habitat quality indicators sets stage for evolution of dispersal plasticity in a coral reef fish. Led by Robin Francis w Tostevin, Tina Barbasch, Rebecca Branconi, Srinivasan & Jones tinyurl.com/yc3th4my BU_MarineProgram BU Biology
