New study - Repeated and widespread evolution of biofluorescence in marine fishes. 459 known biofluorescent teleosts, with the majority associated with coral reefs.

New species alert! 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘥𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘢 was a small killifish that lived in a shallow layer of water above muddy sediment in the swamps of southeastern Madagascar.

I'm excited to announce my new paper (@PeerJLife) describing the first evidence of sexual dimorphism in olfactory organs of #lanternfishes! Our findings add to the growing body of evidence for this trait in #deepsea fishes. https://t.co/dAi7DuJ6AV

Another surprise visitor to the San Juan islands today! A giant oarfish washed up on Friday Harbor in near perfect condition. Check out those jaws!!

This is the best!

.@Lampichthys, new professor @UNLincoln, tells us about light organs in the deep sea lanternfishes. Lovely histology of the photophore scales shows huge variation in the cup and the lens. In some cases the lens has different layers.

Looking for grad students!

Our latest paper is o-fishally out and it's on one of my favorite fishes, Pacific spiny lumpsuckers. For these fish, it pays to be bumpy!

Armor is amazingly diverse in form and function. Our goal was to question the role of armor and hydrodynamics.

Dissected a pregnant fish today. Call that a sea section

Ever seen inside a ghost shark (chimaera) mouth? This is the mouth of a Spotted Ratfish (Hydrolagus colliei); looking down on the lower jaw. Note the (grey) tooth plates (hence the name "ratfish"). Behind a fleshy tongue-like unit, is a wonderful array of taste papilla! Wow!👻🦈

1/2) I am excited to announce that in August 2024 I will be joining the School of Natural Resources @UNLincoln as a tenure-track Assistant Professor of fish biology. Thank you to so many people, including the always supportive, engaging, and inspiring #SundayFishSketch community.

Dr. Jose Tavera, a @FulbrightPrgrm fellow in my lab, is scanning all the fishes of Colombia. We have a nice poster going, and every now and then there is a bonus. Here, a freshwater grunt (Rhonciscus bayanus) has eaten an entire fish. Perhaps a mullet.
