Adam P. Summers JoJo 🌊🐟 Thaddaeus Buser, PhD JoJo 🌊🐟 is the best Twitter handle I’ve ever seen. Bravo.
Adam P. Summers JoJo 🌊🐟 Thaddaeus Buser, PhD I recently learned everything is Oligocottus. Thanks Thaddaeus Buser, PhD
Peter Hundt JoJo 🌊🐟 Thaddaeus Buser, PhD Dude! I have tried that on him. It is not working. If you say none are Oligocottus they all turn out to be…if you say they all are then two out of 50 are the dang things. It is frustrating. And I am not convinced there really are any more than one species in the family.
Adam P. Summers JoJo 🌊🐟 Thaddaeus Buser, PhD Haha it’s a real problem. It is no better with tropical sculpin #blenny
Pectoral fin shape (morphology) is fascinating. There's a great paper I've recently read by Marianne Porter, Thaddaeus Buser, PhD, and Sarah L Hoffmann's paper. The lack of significant difference between ecomorphotypes - this is what should be on Shark Week. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32965713/
Interesting fish eggs from the intertidal Friday Harbor Labs. We are sampling them and we will figure out who they are.
Chi-Kuo Hu Friday Harbor Labs You know it is going to be a dang sculpin...but we await a large enough animal for Thaddaeus Buser, PhD to ID.

New paper out from Thaddaeus Buser, PhD and others, done while part of my lab. Taurus of the Tidepool? Inferring the Function of Cranial Weapons in Intertidal Sculpins (Pisces: Cottoidea: Oligocottinae). Ichthyology & Herpetology 111(1):98-108, 11. doi.org/10.1643/i20220…
Thaddaeus Buser, PhD used 3D geomorph to examine ontogenetic change, fluctuating asymmetry and sexual dimorphism in 16 species of sculpins, and concluded that despite possessing weapons that resemble bovid horns, these sculpins evolved their spines primarily for defense, not offense.
