I think you will agree with me, Coriocella hibyae (aka the Maldives Sponge Snail) is just cool....super cool!! (end tweet)

Want to learn about fish behavior and how they relate to symbioses for gobies and their environment? Listen in to my Dauphin Island Sea Lab seminar: Zoom: disl.zoom.us/j/82085872747?… Meeting ID: 820 8587 2747 Passcode: 079732 #animalbehavior #seminar #coralreef #symbioses

Has anyone used DNA/RNA Shield for preserving HMW DNA in the field when a -80 isn’t available? We want to do some long read sequencing or even Omni-C prep of these samples (if possible) at some point Rebecca Varney any thoughts?

I'm excited to announce that the Hellmann lab is moving to The Ohio State University EEOBatOSU this summer! We will be continuing our work on paternal effects in fishes, and will be recruiting graduate students and a postdoc. Please reach out if you are interested!

My new lab Twitter profile SymBio Lab is up and running. Please follow to hear about our latest research and fieldwork!

Off to Ningaloo Reef! Follow along SymBio Lab

One week into our trip to Ningaloo reef and projects are well underway! Our main project is funded by U.S. National Science Foundation to look at the systematics and species delimitation of the host sea anemones. A main species is the bubble tip anemone Entacmaea quadricolor seen below 1/n

But anemones are a weird group with fewer species in the tropics than at higher latitudes, so we are also testing hypotheses about sea anemone diversity broadly. So we sample the intertidal some as well! Below is a species we just collected from (?) the genus Anthopleura TRESA DALY

Our other projects here on Ningaloo focus on the role of the host sea anemone species on the behavior of their clownfish symbionts. So we are setting up GoPro cameras to record daily activity budgets of the fish themselves as seen here by U.S. National Science Foundation postdoc Catheline Froehlich🐠🎙️🐡|FishEcologist|Podcaster

Sometimes fieldwork is hard…😂

Squeezing in some time for cake in between all the sample processing!

Sample processing continues! On one side, microbiome work and clownfish dissections, and on the other, high molecular weight DNA extractions for the host sea anemones. 1 week left!

A day of sampling with your French postdoc naturally ends with a chicken, Brie, and wine picnic in the back of the truck- even in Western Australia 😂

Hi #Evol2023! I'm recruiting graduate students to join my lab at Mississippi State University! Interested in population and phylogenetic methods, machine learning, or terrestrial gastropods? Let's talk!

So excited and beyond deserving for Catheline Froehlich🐠🎙️🐡|FishEcologist|Podcaster Thrilled she’ll be around for 3 more years (or until someone smart hires her away!)

My lab at Ohio State is recruiting graduate students for Fall 2024 and a postdoc for Spring/Summer 2024! I'll be at #ABS2023 - please contact me to meet if you are interested in plasticity, paternal effects, predation, and fish!

Fantastic postdoc opportunities here at Dauphin Island Sea Lab and UA Dept. of BSC. Come join an exciting and growing community of tropical marine scientists!

The Majoris Lab at TAMU-CC is open and recruiting a PhD student to study intra- and interspecific variation in larval dispersal traits. Full details at: johnmajoris.com/graduate-stude… Texas A&M-Corpus Christi AFS_ELHS SICB_DAB
