1/10🚨🚨 New paper out 🚨🚨 I am beyond excited to present our new paper out now in nature! Here, we show that rapid gain and loss of tooth complexity accelerates diversification in fishes! nature.com/articles/s4158…

📑 #NewStudy by Tariel Adam et al. used citizen science to find evidence of tool use in several species of wrasse – in a part of the ocean where tool use by fish had never been recorded before. doi.org/10.1007/s00338… 👀 Fish Tool Use project: fishtooluse.com

We are hiring a postdoc to work on our NSF-funded project on suboscine bird diversification! Rough goal is to build phylogenies from massive dataset (data are incoming!) and analyze diversification. Posting: shorturl.at/RkYkE

Water plays many important roles in habitat. It transports nutrients and sediments, can aid in the recruitment of new organisms, and can even influence how much energy organisms require to live within it. rpb.li/zRVP

After an inspiring afternoon of innovation showcases, Dr. Kate Quigley Dr. Kate Quigley ended Day 1 of #IOF25Perth with her fascinating research into breeding more heat resistant corals in Ningaloo, and calling for action on climate to protect our reefs from further bleaching.

Ever since Charles Darwin, scientists have assumed species facing the same problem often evolve similar traits. But that’s not always the case. Isabelle Ng Alexandre C Siqueira Edith Cowan University (ECU) James Cook Uni theconversation.com/we-study-plank…

🐟💥 Think tool use is just for humans, birds, or primates? Think again! New research reveals tropical wrasses smash open shellfish with rocks—proving fish are smarter (and craftier) than we thought. 🧠🔧 #ReefFish #AnimalBehavior #FishIntelligence phys.org/news/2025-03-r…

More evidence to show that not everything fits perfectly into “boxes” in ecology; embracing the nuances paints a better picture

Really interesting paper about planktivory in coral reef fishes, featuring a blenny image of mine. I'm always happy to contribute my photography. Isabelle Ng link.springer.com/article/10.100…

I only played a very small role in this PNASNews article by Dr. Abby Grace Drake, Jonathan B. Losos, et al., but it's cool, so please check it out! "Copy-cat evolution: Divergence and convergence within and between cat and dog breeds." doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Congratulations to five emerging Australian scientists who are the recipients of the Academy's J G Russell Award! 🎉The funding will help with costs involved in experimental research and can be used towards equipment, maintenance and travel. The talented early-career scientists

📰This new study which highlights contrasting social-ecological outcomes for human populations in the #WesternAtlantic vs. #IndoPacific, cites #FishBase among its key references as it explores patterns of herbivorous #fishcatches across these two regions. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Super excited that our new paper is out today in pnas. Title: Lateral jaw motion in fish expands the functional repertoire of vertebrates and underpins the success of a dominant herbivore lineage. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

New from the Near Lab, a super collaboration led by Chase Brownstein Phylogenomics and evolutionary history of the iconic reef fish clade wrasses and parrotfishes (Labridae) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1/12 🚨🚨🚨 New paper in Science Magazine Science Advances! We demonstrate the hidden, recent origins of reef fish diversity in the Miocene by leveraging genome-wide data to reveal the evolutionary history of wrasses, parrotfishes, and relatives! #science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our new study was just published in Global Ecology and Biogeography. We analyzed diets and distribution of reef fishes worldwide to answer a key question: In what environments do the most ecologically specialized fishes thrive? Delecambre et al. (2025) doi.org/10.1111/geb.70…
