Me, Jose Tavera, and the ⁦JoJo 🌊🐟⁩ using a lifeline to call ⁦Thaddaeus Buser, PhD⁩ about sculpin IDs. There were more species than we thought. And more were O. maculosus than you could believe.

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.

#SICB2023 here we come! Check out my SICB talk & poster on Wed, Jan 4 (Day 1) Talk @ 2:30 (Room 303-304). We got videos, CT scans, and histology of an anemone eating fish - oh my! Poster @ 3:30 (P1-158). Three fishes that stick. Who sticks the most? Also peep my collabs πŸ‘‡

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/

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.

Are you thinking about doing grad school? Listen to some guy gush about his friends for three minutes and maybe you’ll be inspired!
