@maxshafer.bsky.socialOur new paper is out on Proceedings B! royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article... We reveal how environmental lighting and the biological clock shape swim strategies in larval zebrafish 🧵
Show PostOur paper’s out! 🐟👀 How does the four-eyed fish Anableps see in air and water at once? It expanded its air-facing ventral retina and redeployed existing opsins there. Congrats Louise Perez @perezlouise.bsky.social & Lina Shi! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Show PostHot off the presses! I reviewed the history of early ray-finned fishes, with a focus on their morphology, fossil record, and taxonomy. My principal goal is a guide for other workers to make the rich record of early actinopterygian evolution more broadly available. dx.doi.org/10.1002/jmor...
Show Post#TrendingNow | In this Essay, Matthew Walker and colleagues highlight eight of the most exciting new discoveries within #sleep science, discussing how these have expanded our understanding of sleep's function at the cellular, organismal, and societal levels 🧪 #ICYMI #NeuroSky plos.io/4bvllco
Show PostI added some features to what is now called Genome Observatory. By request, you can now organise by taxon. Here we’re looking at the very well-sequenced order Lepidoptera 1/
