The Rift Valley soda lakes of Tanzania are warm and alkaline. The Manyara tilapia is one of the few fish species able to live here. New research suggests this one species may be two. One is found in Lake Manyara itself, the other is in neighbouring soda lakes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

In crater Lake Masoko one fish species is splitting into shallow and deep-living ecotypes occupying different light environments. New research shows their visual systems are diverging, and how colours of male eggspots have changed to maximise their visibility. doi.org/10.1093/molb...

New research in Molecular Ecology shining light on the riverine ancestors of the Lake Malawi cichlid fish adaptive radiation, led by Sophie Gresham and Hannes Svardal doi.org/10.1111/mec....

Sea ice in the Arctic and around Antarctica cool our climate, drive ocean circulation across the planet, and provide a unique habitat for polar ecosystems. Sea ice amounts have now fallen to their lowest since we started measuring them. This is not good. 🌊🥼❄️🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher (PDRA) in Freshwater Ecosystem Ecology researching the role of organic matter as a nutrient resource in freshwater ecosystems. A 4.5 year role with great training opportunites in isotope ecology and mesocosm experimental science www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLU610/p...

This #WomenInScience Day, we are so proud to see so many female scientists currently working on RRS Sir David Attenborough! The @biopole.bsky.social team are investigating how nutrients drive the global carbon cycle and ocean ecosystems, and the impact of climate change. 📸 Maddy De Marchis

🔮 What does the future hold for our oceans and their ability to soak up carbon from the atmosphere? That's what a team of scientists are hoping to learn more about, as they embark on a 51 day voyage around the Southern Ocean. 🌊 It's time for a thread 🧵 /1

Job alert! We seek to appoint a new Lecturer in Evolutionary Biology in the School of Biological Sciences, find out more at the link below! www.bristol.ac.uk/jobs/find/de...

'This week, Wolfe and collaborators published new work directly linking rising temperatures to bird declines. Their research, published in Science Advances, tracked birds living in the forest understory at the BDFFP against detailed climate data.' 1/2

In the forests of Southern Madagascar, three frog species were discovered in 2019 that represent the very lower limit of vertebrate size: < 9 mm long. The genus was named "Mini", and the three species are: Mini mum Mini ature Mini scule (scientists are nerds, okay?)

‘Awe-inspiring and harrowing’: how two orcas with a taste for liver decimated the great white shark capital of the world really interesting case study of trophic cascade from @cooperpalaeo.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Don’t know about anyone else, but I’m rather pleased they discovered the blob-headed fish. 👍🏻
