Super excited that our new paper is out today in @pnas. Title: Lateral jaw motion in fish expands the functional repertoire of vertebrates and underpins the success of a dominant herbivore lineage. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Water plays many important roles in habitat. It transports nutrients and sediments, can aid in the recruitment of new organisms, and can even influence how much energy organisms require to live within it. rpb.li/zRVP

Ever since Charles Darwin, scientists have assumed species facing the same problem often evolve similar traits. But that’s not always the case. @iSEAbelle_ng @SiqueiraAleC @EdithCowanUni @jcu theconversation.com/we-study-plank…

More evidence to show that not everything fits perfectly into “boxes” in ecology; embracing the nuances paints a better picture

When thinking of the 'model' planktivore on reefs, fusiliers come to mind – their fusiform bodies and large eyes seem built for the job. But are these traits common among most plankton-feeding reef fishes? 🐟 🔗 The story is more nuanced than we thought: doi.org/10.1007/s11160…

Science and Society! Where does one sit within the other? Turns out, plenty of opinions abound! And that's just within scientists working on novel marine climate intervention! Great new paper led by @Lawless_Sarah_ It's #OpenAccess! 👇 nature.com/articles/s4418…

New @npjOceanSustain paper finds tension in responsibility debates among 243 scientists working on ocean-climate innovations. Debates oscillated between protecting scientific autonomy at one extreme, & moral duty for socially just futures at the other rdcu.be/dVqLU 1/3

Incredible first PhD chapter, @iSEAbelle_ng! Great to see it out and what wonderful shots too🤩 check out 👇 for some great fishy science 🐠
