New in @ICB_journal: @evovert1 and I argue that large functional trait datasets can help us understand how biotic interactions have influenced both the assembly & evolution of #reef fish communities. 1/3
Thanks @Sternarchella for inviting us to contribute!

Biotic interactions can influence how populations respond to #climatechange by affecting their ability to displace to new areas and adapt to new conditions.
But many of the predicted effects of biotic interactions remain untested! 2/3
#ecology #Evolution
Functional trait datasets:
1) help overcome some challenges of studying biotic interactions,
2) allow us to study the ecological & evolutionary effects of biotic interactions across scales, &
3) enhance predictive models of future reef #fish distributions & evolvability. 3/3

Prolonged morphological expansion of spiny-rayed fishes following the end-Cretaceous. nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
A phylogenomic analysis of more than 1,000 species of Acanthomorpha!
Body size affects many other aspects of an organism's biology & ecology. As such, it's one of the most commonly studied traits. In this paper led by @alencarlrv, we describe how body size has evolved in complex ways across 42 orders of teleost fishes.

Hi folks! Now that SICB+ is live, my talk is up! I am so delighted to be presenting alongside a great group in the DVM Best Student Presentation Session!
Check it out on pathable if you're interested in feeding mode & the evolution of fish body shapes!🐠

Come check out my poster on the functional morphology of sea urchin spines at 4:30 at #SICB2022 ! :)
Attention #SICB2022: @clemson_biolsci undergraduate Grace Holiday will kick-off the Wake Award symposium for @sicb_dpcb Best Student Presentation today @ 13:45 MST. She's presenting her 10-week summer Creative Inquiry research and it is most impressive! @alencarlrv @evovert1
Bifurcation versus budding = interest piqued!
We're excited to share the latest paper from the Jablonski lab, led by postdoc @NCrouch89 and featuring @spissatella. They assembled a new molecular bivalve phylogeny and quantified the effects of assuming bifurcation vs budding in time-calibration.

Look at this game changer by Collyer, @baken, and Adams. We often talk about "weak but significant" phylogenetic signal. We now have a way of statistically comparing SIGNAL STRENGTH between traits. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wi…
So happy to be part of this team! ☺️
It’s postdoc appreciation week and I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all the postdocs I have worked with past & present. Especially @OlivierLarouch7 @alencarlrv @FishFun_Jen who have helped me build and grow my lab. My research is so much stronger for your contributions.

Happy to share my latest paper that talks about how butterflyfish morphology evolves when lineages transition from feeding on benthic corals and inverts to zooplankton. 1/6
