🐟✨ Unbelievable Moment! ✨🌍 As we pulled the net from Lake Victoria, I knew—we found something special! I shouted & showed it to Ole Seehausen. His reaction? "This is unbelievable, Anna!! Lipochromis microdon!" Once thought extinct, now rediscovered! 🔬💙#Conservation

Happy to share our new study published today at Proceedings B! 🐊 Royal Society Publishing Sebastian Hoehna 📝 “The effects of cryptic diversity on diversification dynamics analyses in Crocodylia” royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… #crocodylian #species #macroevolution 🧵 (1/7)

Happy to share our new preprint: `The rise, decline and fall of clades' with Jérémy Andréoletti 🔸, Daniele Silvestro and Helene Morlon , where we study how the biodiversity of clades rise and fall, and the processes behind these patterns. 1/5 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Happy to share my new article on how morphological diversification proceeds during evolutionary radiations: "The diffused evolutionary dynamics of morphological novelty" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🧵1/12

Super excited that our new paper is out today in pnas. Title: Lateral jaw motion in fish expands the functional repertoire of vertebrates and underpins the success of a dominant herbivore lineage. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Out today in PLOS Biology! We show that two major advances in fish feeding - highly protrusible jaws and large teeth - are functionally and evolutionarily incompatible with each other. Mike Mihalitsis and Peter Wainwright. Free to read: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Come join us. Three permanent academic positions (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer) at School of Biological Sciences, Monash. Supportive research and teaching environment. Fantastic colleagues. A great place to work. youtube.com/watch?v=HvHZFR… Ecology: careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/… Genomics: careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/…

Taking tissues from specimens with a lot of interest from the local community. Great opportunity to talk about what we are doing and why these fishes and macroinvertebrates are important.

Interested in applying to evolution or ecology focused grad school programs, but not sure where to start?! Check out the E&E Grad School Preview Program to demystify grad school! Applications have JUST opened!!!

‼️ATTENTION‼️ Our 2025 application for our virtual #Evolution & #Ecology #Graduate #School Preview Program is live! Please refer to our website (link in bio) for more information We especially encourage individuals from historically excluded groups to apply!🎉

Next week I'll be teaching in a workshop at Universidad San Sebastián sede Concepción with Luke Harmon & hosted by Cristián Hernández Ulloa. I believe that enrollment is still open, so if you're local to Concepción, Chile, please check it out!
