Ichthyofauna of the Yasunรญ National Park has 458 species of freshwater fishes distributed in 47 families and 13 orders. One of the most diverse assemblage of fishes in the Amazon, and indeed the whole world.

This is a fantastic independent postdoc opportunity in the University of Toronto EEB Department, no supervisor required โ€“ just a highly-motivated candidate with an innovative research program. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Some microphagous fishes have unique pocket-like throat structure called epibranchial organ (EBO) that helps them gather tiny food particles. New study of 13 species reveals diverse EBO anatomy, weak phylogenetic ties & possible link to diet Evans et al: anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/arโ€ฆ

Rio Bio Bio is one of the last home rivers of Diplomystes, a "living fossil" of catfishes that survives only in some rivers draining the southern Andes. A relic from the Age of Dinosaurs.

Thoroughly enjoyed Carl Zimmer new book Air-borne Frustrating that for so long many doctors/scientists/administrators didnโ€™t think many respiratory viruses could spread long distances through the air (basically until COVID-19) despite strong data showing that they could.

A rare silver sailfish caught by fishermen off the coast of Guatemala. Never seen a leucistic sailfish before. thinkstewartville.com/2025/04/14/a-rโ€ฆ

I have never talked to the press about being a creationist missionary, how I left etc - and I do feel really conflicted about sharing this profile. Iโ€™ll be clarifying and giving context to lots of things in it over time. 1/ The Observer observer.co.uk/news/science-tโ€ฆ
