Reading @sarahkendzior.bsky.social for the first time this past week. Her takes on adjuncting (and more broadly on labor) are so painfully accurate, but oh so validating.

This Sunday I've got my how to set up a UK native marine fish tank coming out its been such a great process and really enjoyed keeping several native species like this wonderful Montagu's Blenny

ICYMI: A new record of the blenny, Andamia tetradactylus (Bleeker) collected from Sanhsientai, eastern Taiwan

A potato has been named after Prince.

The US endangered Pecos Gambusia, Gambusia nobilis, has been split into 3 species. 🌏🐟🧪 #TeamFish

Very excited to share my exploration of the phylogenetics of early ray-finned fishes, out today in the Anatomical Record! Really busy day but I’ll have more info shortly. anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

1/ 🧵 I'm at #BOUasm25 A day at the museum to talk about using natural history collections to build inclusive community. Natural history #museums are undergoing a renaissance of novel research. However -who has access to collections? -who is being left out of biodiversity research? #ornithology

I've been doing some seining as part of a new research project looking at the biodiversity of a local river. Some of our fish finds so far. 🐟 #fish 1. greenside Darter

1/2 #NearLab @chasedbrownstein.bsky.social described Birmingham Darter Etheostoma birminghamesnse in April 2025 It is under threat from a mega data center. A petition was filed yesterday by the @biologicaldiversity.org to review the species for protection under the ESA www.wbrc.com/2025/11/14/n...

Phish bassist Mike Gordon loves the transcendent experience of his band syncing up in an improvised jam—so much that he’s funding research to better understand these moments. 🎶

old fish skech ... I think I haven't shared this one here 🐟🐡

Took a long time but we are finally growing baby clownfish in the lab!

1/4 I typically do not use preprint services, but our findings are important to the residents of Bessemer, Alabama impacted by the Marvel Project...a mega datacenter that will have a huge environmental impact. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I updated my website! Felt long over due. I've written new blurbs about some current research themes and projects! jonathanhuie.com

If you didn't see over the weekend, I took the 1,700-plus pages of Jan. 6 subpoenas Chuck Grassley made public last week and mapped out the connections between the people and organizations they mention. www.howtoreadthisch.art/the-web-that...

My book shelves wouldn’t be the same without this amazing #blenny illustration by @greyauk.bsky.social 🤩

Wake up, babe, a new species of Redhorse just dropped. Meet the Apalachicola Redhorse (Moxostoma antelunare), which is found throughout the Apalachicola River Drainage as well as Enconfina Creek in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. 🐟🧪 www.mapress.com/zt/article/v...

So excited to see our paper on #phylogenetics and #morphometrics integrated with feeding #ecology in the surgeonfishes by @linnealungstrom.bsky.social get posted, her first in a series on their incredibly cool biology. 🐟🦑🧪🌎🌿

No better reason to join Bluesky then to say the first chapter of my PhD is out as a preprint! New surgeonfish phylogeny, ecomorphological relationships, evolutionary shape correlations-with NEW method to accurately account for phylogenetic covariation among shapes! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Non-anthropogenic cosmopolitan species ranges are scarce Mugil cephalus, traditionally considered a (quasi)cosmopolitan diadromous fish species, is now shown to comprise some 15 different lineages deserving formal species description www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New paper alert!!!🚨 in our new study we find that Antarctic icefishes added a new module in their skulls during their adaptive radiation special shout out to @mayaranevesbio.bsky.social who led this project! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Need some motiv-ocean to leap into the weekend? 🐟 Leaping blennies are amazing amphibious fish who can launch themselves off rocks and into the air up to 50 times their body length. 🌊 These extraordinary terrestrial fish shore do know how to make a splash, both in and outside the water!

New species alert! A Pascua goby from the Coral Sea. This genus now contains four species. Two from the Eastern Pacific and two from Australia, with more than 5,500km separating them. Lots of fun describing my second new species. #TeamFish #Fish doi.org/10.3390/fish...

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

Excited to share the first paper from my PhD! We looked at what traits help Aneides salamanders excel at climbing using museum specimens, CT scans, SEM, and more! No claws or toe pads, so how do they do it? In short, with long limbs, big feet and grippy toes! 🦎🧪 DM for PDF doi.org/10.1098/rspb...

Ever wonder how the axial locomotor system is arranged into segmented myomeres of red and white muscle in a large pelagic surgeonfish? Well, now you know! 🐟🧪🦑

There are other countries, and other times, when this sort of political vetting of science has happened. And we need say no more than that, I think. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Some clams in the deep sea essentially eat sulfide or methane for food (partnering with symbiotic bacteria). They are are model animals for astrobiologists investigating potential undersea life on other worlds (7)

In @fishguy.bsky.social’s lab we have done many studies on the suction cups of dead clingfish. In this new paper, @fishyologist.bsky.social et al and I found that clingfish can control their suction and stick harder than dead ones! @sicbjournals.bsky.social 🐟 🧪 DM for PDF doi.org/10.1093/icb/...

My brother moves in this weekend & I’m panicking. I still have all this Skype a scientist merch in his room & there’s a crab in the kitchen. Who let me own a home?! If you were ever thinking about buying one of these t shirts today is a GREAT time lmao 😅😅😅 squidfacts.bigcartel.com/product/bina...

After seeing so much mola art in Hualien 花蓮，of course it had to be a sharptail mola 曼波魚 Masturus lanceolatus for my #TaiwanFishes #SundayFishSketch today! Hualien has somehow catapulted this species into a local mascot, although negative effects of increased harvests are TBD. #Taiwan #台灣魚類 🦑🐡🧪

The city of Bessemer, AL, is considering destroying habitat crucial to the Endangered Watercress Darter to allow a huge Data Center to be built. If need be it looks like the CBD will make a legal intervention. And yes, that's a Watercress Darter on the wall of the Good People brewpub. 🧪🌍🌿 #TeamFish
