Calotomus! A buck-toothed parrotfish, with snaggly teeth not fused into a beak like most parrotfishes. This is key anatomical evidence of the scarines being nested within wrasses, requiring rejection of their classical family status and name. #phylogenetics #backdatwrasseup

Just fabulous!

Quem tiver interesse em saber mais sobre meu artigo na Current Biology descrevendo tecidos moles preservados em peixes de ~290 milhões de anos do Brasil, escrevi um texto explicando a descoberta para o The Conversation Brasil: theconversation.com/fosseis-encont… Artigo: doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…

1/5🏁🏁 New paper with Thomas Near! Here, we reconstruct the evolutionary history of hagfishes, one of two surviving lineages of jawless vertebrates, and show their deep-sea habits go back at least 250 million years! Paper here: bmcecolevol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

..."we illustrate how (i) multidimensional intraspecific niche variation and (ii) the spatiotemporal context of interactions between conspecifics scale up to shape emergent patterns of the population niche." 📊..paper by Raul Costa-Pereira: buff.ly/45i46Kc

In Serrasalmidae (piranhas and relatives), herbivores exhibit widespread convergence, but still underwent slower rates of phenotypic evolution than carnivores. researchgate.net/publication/38…

Pesquisas com evo-devo (biologia evolutiva do desenvolvimento) são surpreendentes. Um estudo testou como alguns genes estariam relacionados com o surgimento e fechamento das fenestras temporais, estruturas fundamentais na evolução de amniotas (répteis+aves e mamíferos).

If you are attending #JMIH2024 and interested in adaptation in extreme environments, don’t miss my talk tomorrow about notothenioids! #teamfish

Kudos to Ana Martínez, whose key #PhD research was just published in Environmental Pollution🤩. Read how microplastics and nutrients alter the diet of freshwater macroinvertebrates: doi.org/10.1016/j.envp…

Já se inscreveram no I Congresso Brasileiro de Biologia Evolutiva?? Pois atenção, pq estão concedendo auxílios 👇🏼👇🏼🤩

Fishes have a lot of bones in their skull. Here are 27 of them from a Tarry hogfish that I'm working on. #backdatwrasseup

Here we are #Evol2024

Now speaking is Mayara Neves about some really cool fish skulls in extreme environments #TeamFish #Evol2024

My time to talk about skull shape evolution of icefishes at #Evol2024 #teamfish

It's today!! Come see my talk at #Evol2024 at 2:45 in Comparative Biology III. I used a comparative transcriptomic approach to investigate the evolution of miniaturized body size in one of the best groups-- gobies!

Finished the parrotfish skull, pretty on the inside and outside. These guys are basically just wrasses that dialed their bones up to 10 so that they can crunch hard stuff... I respect it #backdatwrasseup

New paper alert (open access)! Thanks to a new tip-dated phylogeny of bonytongue fishes (Osteoglossomorpha) with a large sample of fossils, we find that today's freshwater arapaimas and arowanas were ancestrally marine! (1/n) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
