We hosted Ms Jenny Wang (@sydney_uni & @AustralianMuseum) to collect morphological data on #wrasses (#Labridae) from 3 to 9 September. Combining physical traits, precise digital calipers & genomics, her work will help to revise problematic labrid genera! #CollectionsAreEssential
Fresh specimens of Leptojulis poecilepterus (Labridae) collected from Japan🇯🇵.
This species has distinct sexual dimorphism, TP are greenish, and IP are pale yellowish.
Notably, TP are very beautiful, with green bodies, pink fins, and head stripes.

We'll just go ahead and extend this to Thursday as well, it that's ok with everyone.
