New paper alert! Oceanic islands are great places to study how species evolve and disperse because their ecosystems are small and isolated. In the middle of the Atlantic Ocean —St Paul’s Rocks, Ascension, and St Helena— are roughly halfway between South America and Africa

Matéria no G1 - Terra da Gente, sobre o novo artigo liderado pela Isadora Cord que foi publicado no periódico britânico Proceedings of the Royal Society B - g1.globo.com/sp/campinas-reg…

Peixes que contam histórias: o que espécies raras revelam sobre ilhas perdidas no meio do Atlântico...

Estudo mostra que três ilhas remotas formam uma unidade biogeográfica única e guardam linhagens mais antigas que o próprio solo onde vivem.

Our new study was just published in Global Ecology and Biogeography. We analyzed diets and distribution of reef fishes worldwide to answer a key question: In what environments do the most ecologically specialized fishes thrive? Delecambre et al. (2025) doi.org/10.1111/geb.70050

🔧🐟 Wrasses using rocks as tools? It's true! A new study shows tool use in reef fish is more common than we thought with deep roots in evolution. These clever fish are anything but simple! 📄 See the full article at: link.springer.com/article/10…

Ever since Charles Darwin, scientists have assumed species facing the same problem often evolve similar traits. But that’s not always the case. @iSEAbelle_ng @SiqueiraAleC @EdithCowanUni @jcu theconversation.com/we-study…

We study ‘planktivores’ – and found an amazing diversity of shapes among plankton-feeding fishes

🐟💥 Think tool use is just for humans, birds, or primates? Think again! New research reveals tropical wrasses smash open shellfish with rocks—proving fish are smarter (and craftier) than we thought. 🧠🔧 #ReefFish #AnimalBehavior #FishIntelligence phys.org/news/2025-03-reveal…

Study reveals tool use in tropical fish species

Scientists have debunked the belief that using tools is unique to mammals and birds, after documenting tropical fish that smash shellfish against rocks to open and eat the meat, in a fascinating new...
