Latest paper now out with some approaches for quantifying pattern variation morphospace in Danio fishes and analysis of mutant phenotypes across species. Great work from Braedan McCluskey, Ph.D., Vic Lewis and Larissa Patterson at RIC. journals.biologists.com/bio/article/10…

Interested in the genomic and developmental bases of pigmentation diversity in Malawi cichlid fishes? See this PhD project available in my lab Dept of Zoology nercdtp.esc.cam.ac.uk/projects/bc338 In collaboration with @Dlimnothrissa, Tyler Linderoth and Richard Durbin Pls RT & get in touch 🐠

Very excited that we at Dept of Zoology get to host @drtcp and hope you can join us!

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be starting the Torres-Dowdall lab (torres-dowdall.com) in August 2022. It's a great honor to join the Dept of Biological Sciences at University of Notre Dame. Notre Dame Biology is a highly multidisciplinary dept, a dream place to start an integrative research lab

Fresh off the confocal for a good end to #FluorescenceFriday in Morphological evolution lab #cichlids #HCR

Join us online on 8 March to celebrate #IWD2022. Hear about the research of four amazing #female scientists, like Emily G Mitchell, who works on understanding how ecology impacts evolution through deep-time 🕰️ Sign-up is free: ow.ly/Usit50I0TXA #WomenInSTEM #BreakTheBias

Seriously eChanges fc.ul.pt ? H-index >10 for a first stage researcher? I know MANY great scientists that don’t fulfil this criterion. Trying to reduce multidimensional scientific, personal, mentoring, and other skills into a single dimension? How unscientific…

This week's #FluorescenceFriday user is Aleksandra Marconi! Aleksandra studies development of the neural crest in cichlid fish in the Morphological evolution lab. #HCRimaging allows her to map multiple gene expression simultaneously with striking signal-to-background. See her HCR cichlid GIF here:

📢 Extension for abstract submissions! We are extending the deadline to Friday 22nd July - please share! We look forward to receiving your abstracts in the next week #cichlidsci22 cichlidscience2022.com

Reminder that abstract submissions are open until the end of this week - extended deadline Friday 22nd July #cichlidsci22 cichlidscience2022.com Join us for a great 🐟 meeting!

🚨Hi there! A few of you reported issues with abstract submission. If you didn't receive a confirmation, it means submission didn't go through. We are really sorry for the inconvenience. The form will be online until Monday evening. Please re-submit or send it to us via email🚨🐟

Getting ready to welcome everyone this afternoon! Let the cichlid fun begin! #cichlidsci22 #cichlids

New pre-print alert 🚨 morphological variation between cichlid species manifests during early embryonic development 🐠🥚 or "show me a #cichlid embryo and I will tell you who they are". see 🧵below: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Dept of Zoology Morphological evolution lab

We celebrated our 2nd lab retreat in Morston, Norfolk. Lots of productive discussions about science and the lab's future. Plenty of seal sightings, good food, and the weather almost held up!! #GreatBritishSummer! Connie Whiting Aleksandra Marconi Joel Elkin Aaron Hickey Patrícia Duarte
