Catching larval fish can be quite tricky, but give light traps a try! Our new paper on ecology and systematics of larval prickly sculpin is out and open access:

🚨Paper alert🚨
Vertical zonation of fish communities from 10 y of #submersible exploration of deep Caribbean reefs, down to 500 m!

🐠 we find 6 distinct fish communities
🐟 we confirm the uniqueness of the rariphotic zone, below the #mesophotic

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

Big news! Dr. Michael Burns has accepted an offer to join the OSU Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences as an assistant professor, where he will replace me as the curator of the Oregon State Ichthyology Collection. Congrats, Mike!

Our spike-tooth salmon paper got a research highlight in Nature! Kudos again to lead author Kerin Claeson and the rest of the team (@EdwardByrdDavis, @ratfishray, Zabrina Prescott). https://t.co/ywOR2TUC5Z

[Brian Sidlauskas @BrianSidlauskas]

Got a chance to meet my namesake fish today!

@BrianSidlauskas @FulbrightPrgrm @BirindelliJose @fulbrightbrasil This research opportunity is exciting and an excellent interview!

[Brian Sidlauskas @BrianSidlauskas]

Nice video from the Universidade Estadual de Londrina's TV station about my @FulbrightPrgrm project in @BirindelliJose's lab. @fulbrightbrasil #fulbrightbrazil #fulbright

Fast reminder of the full consideration date (April 14) to apply to be my successor as professor and curator at @osufwcs. I've had a great fifteen year run at OSU and am happy to answer questions about my experience, the collection and the department. https://t.co/fV2SHX39b1

[Taal Levi @taaltree]

Our department @OregonState is hiring an Ichthylogist and curator of the fish collection. Full consideration by 4/14.

I'm thrilled (and a bit stunned) to announce that I have just accepted an offer to join the faculty at @Tulane University in summer 2024 as the new curator of the Royal D. Suttkus fish collection and director of the Tulane University Biodiversity Research Institute (@TulaneFish)

[Ivan Arismendi (he/his) 🇨🇱🇺🇸 @Timaukel]

Our lab is fully decorated and ready for Halloween. You can see the names of those that are (figuratively) not longer with us🕷️🕸️ Thanks Rahiza DeThomas !!!!! @LZatkos @jandresolivos @ReservoirWebs @osufwcs @skialoha @w1mam among others

[Alvaro Cortes @Sea_of_Cortes]

@taaltree Haha! Yeah, it’s a bit tight down there. Seems like a potentially great option for future researchers (or the next generation) to have access to such an extensive collection.

[Dr. Karly E. Cohen @Karly_Cohen]

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.
