What can phylogenetic comparative methods tell us about cladogenetic phenotypic change? With Salamin's Lab Nicolas Salamin we developed a new method to explore this question Find out in this article out in systematic biology or at my poster #Evol2024 academic.oup.com/sysbio/article…

⚠️ New study reveals: 62% of EU MPAs offer low protection impacting #marinebiodiversity conservation. 📉Only 1.5% are strongly protected. Urgent changes needed to enhance MPA effectiveness across Europe. Read the full article👉t.ly/2GKAW

66 million yrs ago🦕dinosaurs vanished, but what happened beneath the surface?🌊 PhD candidate Isabelle Ng investigates the evolution of reef fish diets in this new ProcB paper: doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… w/ The Bellwood Lab, Prof Jan Strugnell, V Parravicini, & Alexandre C Siqueira 🧵(1/7)

IUCN categorization was urgently needed for marine fishes with 38% (n = 4,992 of 13,195) being data deficient AI models increase the number of Red Listed fish species by 400% with a new prioritization of subpolar and polar regions for protected areas doi.org/10.1371/journa…

🚨New paper in Current Biology led by @Eva__Maire examines global patterns and drivers of nutritional value in coral reef fish communities. Heavily fished communities dominated by herbivores and detritivores actually have higher average nutritional value! authors.elsevier.com/c/1jnVT3QW8S6G…

Measuring 29 fish community contributions to Nature or People on tropical reefs show that: 1. Contributions for Nature are correlated to biomass 2. Trade-offs among contributions are not the rule 3. Bright-spots can be in any country doi.org/10.1016/j.onee… Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership)

New paper alert: A time-calibrated phylogeny of Neotropical freshwater fishes, the most diverse continental fauna on Earth. Built from a supermatrix of 51 genomic markers for 3,167 species, the most species-rich phylogeny of this fauna to date. frontiersin.org/journals/bioin…

I have a new paper 😇 in which I show how to analyse data collected on stream networks using occupancy models, check it out here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aq… 😉 I also have a few slides there doi.org/10.6084/m9.fig… that give additional explanations.

Paper alert 🐠!!! We investigated the evolutionary patterns of seahorses, goatfishes, dragonets, flying gurnards (Syngnatharia) across different oceans. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73…

Coral reef nightlife becomes more predatory with light pollution 💡🐠 My first publication from my fsbi PhD at University of Bristol Biological Sciences is out today in Global Change Biology! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc… w/ Dwarf Mongoose, Prof. Steve Simpson, Jules Schligler, Suzanne Mills, @r_beldade 🧵(1/6)

Tagliacollo et al. mine GenBank for 51 markers for 5,984 taxa and produce a "Time-calibrated phylogeny of Neotropical freshwater fishes" in Frontiers in Bioinformatics. A testament to the value of the database I help maintain for biodiversity studies. frontiersin.org/journals/bioin…

1/ 📢Yesterday saw the release of our analysis of the first IUCN Red List global freshwater fauna assessment in nature ! The dataset took 1000+ experts 20+ years to compile. So what did we find? nature.com/articles/s4158…
