Out now in Seminars in Cell & Dev Biol! doi.org/10.1016/j.se... With thanks to co-authors @callumbucklow.bsky.social and @bertaverd.bsky.social

My third PhD manuscript is on BioRxiv: "Somitic Change Drives Changes in Vertebral Regionalisation in African Cichlids Despite Strong Canalisation of Somite Number" (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). Thanks to my co-authors and supervisors @bertaverd.bsky.social and Roger Benson. Thread below...

Lake Malawi cichlids: even common, big, spectacular species are often a taxonomic mess, like these Taeniolethrinops species. Much work needed!

Experimental embryology postdoc available in my lab at the @biology.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk working on the evolution of vertebral counts. Reach out if you’re passionate about EvoDevo, enjoy lab work and microscopy and are into or could get into cichlid fishes. Deadline on the 16th June. Please share!
