We are proud to host the 20th annual meeting of the German Ichthyological Society @ichthyologie in Berlin from 7.-10. Nov! Talks in English and German will be accepted covering topics around fish research! More info to come here: https://t.co/U6yYIb86ZF #teamfish#GfI_Berlin24
See our latest work on the evolution of the taste and smell receptor genes across vertebrates in @NatureComms. Congrats to all involved, in particular to @MaximePolicarpo.

#Taxonomy
We "cleaned up" one of the taxonomic misplacements in the cichlid fish from Lake Tanganyika with Gnathochromis remaining for G. permaxillaris and a new genus Jabarichromis for J. pfefferi. Great work by Anja, @FredericSchedel, Fabrizia, @adrian_the_fish:

Cyphocharax albiventris from Rio Xingu, Amazon basin - our paper describing the species includes both morphological and molecular data and was just published in Am Mus Novitates. Link: https://t.co/yRXtwx3oga
Out in Zootaxa: "Description of a rock-dwelling cichlid that re-invaded the sand substrate in Lake Malaŵi, Africa" from Konings, Miller & Stauffer. #newspecies Pseudotropheus likomae below. https://t.co/idajcgRtpB
Excited to say our review of genome editing in cichlid fishes, focusing on CRISPR/Cas9 tech, is now published in @RSocPublishing#OpenBiology!

One of our favourite talks! Frederic @FredericSchedel on its search for new and old cichlids in Tansania. Always feels like you are right in the middle of the river yourself. #gfi
