Barcoding of exuviae as a tool for non-invasive monitoring of damsel- and dragonflies? Have a look at our new publication. Uni Graz/University of Graz doi.org/10.1007/s10841…

Semaine #poisson de fond 📸 Lundi férié oui, mais avec une Blennie de Caneva. Seule photo que j'ai pu faire d'un individu en entier ! Regardez sa tête caractéristique, avec cette couleur rouge sur la bosse du crâne🤿Elles vivent proche de la surface, dans les zones anfractueuses.

Semaine #poisson de fond 📸 Mercredi Blennie Sphinx prise en contre-plongée. Regardez ces magnifiques couleurs caractéristiques ! Elles vivent très très proches de la surface, dans les zones battues par les vagues. Pas facile de les prendre en photo 🤿

LAST CALL: few days left for abstract submission to European Congress of Ichthyology #ECI2023 in Prague. Fee from €150 (students). We welcome contributions on fish: Ecology Genetics Behaviour Evolution Migration Parasites Morphology Systematics Development Conservation ...

I found a genomic region involved in happy face transformations (also called smiling). Happy computing everyone out there in front of your screens #Genomics

Notes from the Gulf of Mexico No.261: A juvenile hermit crab in a pelagic phase (still part of the zooplankton).

Fish poop feeds coral reefs! 💩 🐟 We examine the quality of fish food and poop for 51 fish species & reveal that fishes don't retain a lot of nutrients from their food, making fish poop a nutritious snack for other critters. Paper led by Dr Nina Schiettekatte : doi.org/10.1111/oik.09…

Check out the new PhD position available in our lab! The supervisory team Maarten Vanhove Nikol KMENTOVA and Maarten Van Steenberge is looking for a motivated candidate interested in evolution of parasite-host interactions!

[1/3] Our journey in ichthyology is more than a scientific quest. It's sometimes personal, tied to our stories & the world around us. Our latest paper, where we describe 2 new freshwater blennies has profound emotional ties. #ichthyology Zootaxa updates #WestAsiaFishDiversity

[2/3] Salariopsis renatorum inspired by "renātus" (Latin for renewal), pays tribute to the resilience of communities affected by the tragic earthquake on Feb 6, 23, in Turkey & Syria, is a far distinct lineage and a real discovery to science, never before mentioned in literature

Grundlagenforschung ist nutzlos - meistens. Warum ich sie trotzdem für das beste Investment der Welt halte, schreibe ich hier: materie.at/a/grundlagenfo…

How hard is it to do science in a language that’s not your first language? We quantified the severity of #languagebarriers for non-native English speakers when reading/publishing papers and attending/presenting at international conferences. doi.org/10.1371/journa… 1/9

Secretive reef fishes use different strategies for avoiding detection. Some, like Aron’s blennies (Ecsenius aroni), hide in abandoned worm tubes and other holes (left page, right page top left). 📸 @morganbennettsmith #rsrc_kaust #red_sea #blenny

Finishing my PhD and looking for a postdoc for summer/fall 2025! I do functional morphology, biomechanics, kinematics, phylo comp methods, CT scanning, R and python coding and more! I like fish & herps but open to system! If you have funding or know of opportunities, let me know
