Basking sharks are what now?! New paper led by @haleydolton where we document regional endothermy in our favourite giant filter feeding sharky 🔥. Interesting implications for evolution and ecological advantages of regional endothermy; we thought it was only seen in apex 🦈&🐟1/3

Peter Wainwright has just won the Joseph Nelson award for a lifetime of achievement in ichthyology. So very cool. One of my earliest mentors at ASIH. #jmih23

🌳✨Prepare to be amazed! Now, we can accurately map tree heights at a sub-meter scale for entire countries using aerial images and AI 🤖. Take a look at our tree height map of California, home to the tallest and largest tree species on our planet ✈️🌲🌎 doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2306.…

Why might #fish in a #school swim behind one another? A🧵.This question arises because being behind another fish involves #swimming in faster flow. A cyclist can draft because oncoming velocity is reduced. A thrust wake is like a cyclist facing a leader with a large fan.

What tweetable #rstats function have you written recently to reduce duplication in your data analysis code? I'm looking for some inspiration as I re-write the functions chapter in R4DS.

Can’t wait to get my hands on this! Congrats, @BrianSidlauskas, @CalebHasler, @PREAUX_FISH, and all the authors!
I'm thrilled to announce that the first new edition of Methods for Fish Biology in thirty years is now available from the AFS bookstore. Twenty chapters on modern ichthyological techniques, including one by me and Peter Konstantinidis on fish curation. doi.org/10.47886/97819348746…

Ok, fish folks, what’s wrong with this?

This #deepsea fish cover might be slightly psychedelic:-) It refers to our recent study on vision in deep-sea fish larvae (using cones) and adults (rods). It's also the first student paper since I started my FishEvo research group. Happy and congrats Nik! academic.oup.com/mbe/article…

New paper out in @JAnatomy! This isn’t a high-impact headliner about T. rex, nor does it solve the mysteries of a major transformation — but it highlights the dangers of trying to go there before tackling the basics. 🧵 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
