Introducing a fish, no a nudibranch.... what the.....oh you’re a pelagic nudibranch from the genera Phyliroe! Right, sorry.....These slugs have independently evolved to live like fish, even hunting jellyfish for example!

Ever wondered whether redlip cleaner wrasse cheat like bluestreaks biting off healthy scales, or remove ectoparasites honestly like gobies ? @redlipblenny & I found out https://t.co/Ck1zRK25UG Awesome photos @CoralReefFish & Frédéric Zuberer @criobe_pf @EPHE_PSL @SFU @SFUBioSci

Stress, parasites, coral reef fish. What better to read with your morning coffee?

Is your #vision different depending on where on the reef you spend your time? The answer is yes, or at least it is if you are a cardinalfish! Read more about Martin's & co's latest @FunEcology https://t.co/9bhQdoFLOl #teamfish #colsci @QldBrainInst @UQ_News

[Dr. Kristen Brown @imkristenbrown]

I'm looking for a volunteer diver for fieldwork at Lizard Island from 10 to 24 March. Main activities involve diving to retrieve coral fragments (pictured) for measurements back at the lab, plankton tows & seawater collection/filtration @CoralReefs_UQ @CoralCoE @lirrf

Please RT
Recruiting asap! 2xPhD students (fully funded scholarships, domestic & intl students welcome) to work on the visual ecology of coral reef fishes under the supervision of @karen_cheney & @Fcortesi

#ThisIsWhatAScientistLooksLike: Six months pregnant and leading a team in the field. It can be done! (Just stick to snorkel - no SCUBA until the baby's out, ladies!). Last photo is the end result, three years later. #MissionUnstoppableTV #KellyClarksonShow #ifthenshecan

Parasites and Prague...what more do you want?! Submit to the session @LaurenNadler and I are co-chairing. Awesome lineup of invited speakers including @ProfPatiLopes & @Joanna_Miest

🙌 🙌 I was awarded this year’s @QldBrainInst travel award for best postdoc publication. Fish eyes rock! This was a massive team effort, so this is for everyone involved! Paper here https://t.co/SaScjJyYWh @UQ_News

[The Bellwood Lab @bellwoodlab]

Our latest lab paper (featuring: @WismerSharon, @SB_Tebbett, @robert_p_streit), out now in @CommsBio!
@jcu, @CoralCoE

[The Bellwood Lab @bellwoodlab]

Our newest lab paper is out! We show that "obligate" coral dwelling damselfishes still recruit to a reef that has virtually none of their preferred corals left. Good news for the #future of #reefs? #PersistentFishes 🐠🐟🍼 🐠🐟https://t.co/o2fi32CK89

[Visual Ecology UQ @EcoVisUQ]

Yayyy, it's out - using everyday cameras to estimate animal vision. Great piece of software, amazing amount of work! A game changer some would say :) Well done @vancedberg @jTroscianko #colsci #vision

Check it out! Our new study on how cleaner fish cognitive performance respond to levels of CO2 from pre-industrial to RCP8.0 2100! It looks that there's potential for adaptation! #PhD #CleanerFish #Scaled_Ape https://t.co/DaMppTY1ja

Huh, four years of work have come to this. Phew! Funny... somehow all I really care about is that my very first paper as a first author has a Star Wars pun in it xD Drinks!
