Fish considered thermally tolerant can still be extremely vulnerable in early life.

We found that developmental temperatures of 33°C (regularly experienced in North Qld) resulted in severe spinal deformities and mortality in mosquitofish.

My first time sharing some of my findings from my @jcu postdoc, looking at how temperature impacts spinal development in eastern mosquitofish

As a part of our phenotype analysis I present to you… fish racing 🏁

Reviewing footage from our boldness testing arenas… looks like fish can also get the zoomies!

I’ve set up a second aquarium with some corys and danios, in addition to my guppy aquarium. Might be starting to get a little fish obsessed 😅

Time for your annual reminder that it’s Tasmanian devil dispersal season!

This means young devils out finding their way in the world are particularly vulnerable, & often drawn towards roads for easy passage & food. So watch your speed on Tassie roads this season (& always!)

A variety of species across the animal kingdom can reproduce both sexually and asexually, including some types of starfish, water fleas, hammerhead sharks and Komodo dragons. @jcu https://t.co/7s38j1rj3s

I wrote an article for @ConversationEDU about facultative sex, after I found out that many people outside of biology have never heard of the concept. I think it's such a neat ability that everyone should know about!

Still adjusting to the heat and humidity of North Queensland but a recent highlight was getting to see fireflies for the first time. Got a shot of one on my hand - such amazing creatures!

Oh so proud... when your former PhD student and newly crowned DECRA introduces the plenary speaker at a major international conference. One of the future stars of science, @AnneAulsebrook, @ISBE2024

[Lucinda Aulsebrook @LCAulsebrook]

Great pre-completion seminar by masters student Kate Chu. It was exciting to be involved in this project and now see the cool results!
