doi.org/10.1111/joa.14… New paper: we describe the variation in cephalic glands #morphology in 12 species of homalopsids 🐍

Please share: I’m recruiting a postdoc (2-years) to start in my lab Fall 2024. My lab studies Functional Morphology and Macroevolution (mostly of fishes). More info: edwardburress.com/prospective-st…

We got the whole gang together (actually a few gangs) for a 9 hour power session to finish off our new team-written review paper on #AI for evolutionary morphology. 50 pages and 6 case studies later, the preprint is out! doi.org/10.32942/X2S315. Website w/ links to tools up soon!

Look! A job opportunity! I’m hiring a research technician in my lab to work on CT scanning and segmentation of birds and mammals. Apply now if you love vertebrate anatomy: ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/se…. we’ll also be hiring a Postdoc on the project soon.

The classification of ray-finned fishes monograph just dropped! bioone.org/journals/bulle…

Today I got a letter from the provost confirming my tenure and promotion to associate professor! My lab past and present have been the best, their insights, support, hard work and exciting science made it all possible!

🐟 Curious about what's in a fish's belly? Our paper, "Linking anatomical and histological traits of the digestive tract to resource consumption and assimilation of omnivorous tetra fishes," is now live in Ecology and Evolution. Check here: doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1… #fishteam ASIH

Check out our latest Of Mice and Carnivorans preprint investigating the adaptive landscape of skeletal form & function in carnivorans and testing for functional trade-offs/covariation among the skull, appendicular, & axial skeleton. with @Tseng_ZJ & Prof. Leslea J. Hlusko doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

New paper (my first as 'senior author'): High-latitude ocean habitats are a crucible of fish body shape diversification with @sarahtfried Katherine Corn, PhD (and others not on here) academic.oup.com/evlett/advance…

Posted it twice… let’s make it thrice ;). Come read about some whacky fishes. Although Zeiformes may only be half a weird as Siluriformes, they are highly diverse and we still know very little about their evolutionary history and ecomorphology.

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

I realized I haven’t had the chance to properly celebrate Moritz Lürig joining the lab at the beginning of the year. But now Moritz has his first paper in the lab out in Ecology Letters. And it is a fun one. Go check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Have you ever wondered what factors shape the processes of morphological evolution? And how might innovations arise and contribute to patterns of diversification? Our new paper uses 3D CT scans of tetraodontiform fishes to explore these questions. doi.org/10.1093/evolut… 1/15

I am SO PROUD to say that the indomitable @Alexuss_Symone 's 3rd ch. is OUT NOW at Evolution Letters! With me, Christopher Martinez , & Peter Wainwright, we find that a famous key innovation in feeding apparatus LIMITS functional diversification! doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

Exciting news! After an amazing journey at Kory Evans Ph.D. Lab, I'm thrilled to begin my new role as professor at UFPR . Ready to welcome master's and PhD students for the upcoming semester—let's study fish together! #teamfish #newPI #WomenInSTEM

🚨Incredibly excited to share my new pub in collab w/ Christopher Martinez, Katherine Corn, PhD, + Peter Wainwright in Evolution Letters! Opposite of long-held predictions, we find that a pharyngeal jaw novelty restricts diversification of feeding motions + morphology! doi.org/10.1093/evlett…

🚨New paper alert from Kory Evans Ph.D. Lab!🚨 Our study "Ecological shifts underlie parallels between ontogenetic & evolutionary allometries in parrotfishes" is out in Proceedings B! 🐠🪸 🔗 Read more: doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2… #teamfish #Evolution #Parrotfish #ProceedingsB

Hi, I'm Brooke (she/her)! I'm a recent PhD graduate with research interests in sexual selection, host-parasite interactions (especially those involving host sex), + animal behavior. I'm looking for a postdoc position! I also create short videos and I'm a photographer and artist.
