The invasive twospot livebearer's biology, and its current and potential global distribution. JOURNAL OF FISH BIOLOGY #BiologicalInvasions #InvasiveSpecies #NonNativeFish #Poeciliids #PotentialNiche #ViviparousFish

our new comprehensive review on the twospot livebearer 🐟, recently recognised as invasive with potential global impact, is out!!. we discuss its traits, distribution, & the urgent need to prevent its spread. #InvasiveSppEcoLab #InvasiveSpecies #poeciliids bit.ly/449IUER

Exciting day at #ASSAB2023, our PI (Mo Camacho-Cervantes) took the stage to discuss individual variation in sociability towards conspecific and heterospecific interactions among natives and non-natives! #ConferenceTalks #poeciliids #goodeids

I'm very sad that I can't attend this conference in person, but delighted to be offered the chance to give a hybrid talk on my #invasive #guppy research from afar! Anyone who works on #poeciliids should sign up as it is ALWAYS a really fun event with a great group of people!🐟🐟

Is Lake Miragoane the new Lake Victoria? Great work by a great regional team - led by Trai Spikes, Ph.D. & including UWI St. Augustine graduate @J2jul. Looking forward to including this #Caribbean example in my lectures on #AdaptiveRadiation! 🐟🐟🐟#Haiti #Poeciliids #Limia

Poeciliids are successful invaders that pose a threat to natives. The twospot livebearer is recognised as invasive, but little has been published on its ecology in this context. #ShareScience #InvSppEcoLab #InvasiveSpeciesScience #ScienceOutreach #Ecology #ForNature #Poeciliids

Fish of the Poeciliidae family are not charales! #sharescience #InvSppEcoLab #Poeciliids #Fish #Ecology #InvasiveSpecies

#PoeciliidForum off to a great start! Sarah W Fitzpatrick gave an excellent overview of her work using #poeciliids as models for conservation. #Guppies in #Trinidad provide evidence for #GeneticRescue effects! #GuppyNews #HomeOfTheGuppy

A new paper documents how the swordtail Xiphophorus helleri (a species which is already a pest in several countries including Australia) has established itself in #Morocco bit.ly/33zuyiN #conservation #livebearers #poeciliids

Instead, I spend my time wading through sulphur springs to investigate the startle-like collective behaviour of two #poeciliids. Conditions are harsh (especially for the fish), but predation events are frequent allowing us to collect a lot of data in a month

@moraCamachoC "#Guppies are the second evilest #poeciliids after #Gambusia" seems fairer to me!

Fantastic prize-winning poster by Juliane Lukas on how collective wave-making by #poeciliids may deter bird predators! #PoeciliidConference2019

Jon Evans and that much of the earliest work on #SpermCompetition was conducted on #poeciliids!

Jon Evans also points out that even #Darwin recognised the importance of #Poeciliids as sexual selection examples

Super cool results on #Poeciliids sex chromosomes, providing insights on initial stages of sex chromosome evolution and FIRST case of functional chromosome-wide #DosageCompensation in teleost fish. Congrats Iulia Darolti Alison Wright Judith Mank

Did you bicker with your siblings while growing up? 🤬⛈️🥊⚠️ Fish don*t seem to be much different in this regard! In clonal mollies, familiarity increases aggressiveness. Check out the bioRxiv now: bit.ly/2OSj0Py 🐟⚡️🐟 #fishsci #preprint #poeciliids
