Freshwater groups with ranges fragmented by marine barriers are a riddle. Today's species can only tell us so much, but fossils capture distributions and ecologies erased by extinction. @acapomorphic highlights the impact of paleontological data on biogeographical inference ⬇️
New paper alert (open access)! Thanks to a new tip-dated phylogeny of bonytongue fishes (Osteoglossomorpha) with a large sample of fossils, we find that today's freshwater arapaimas and arowanas were ancestrally marine! (1/n) royalsocietypublishing.org/d…

Orocue, Río Meta, Llanos del Casanare, “último” puerto. Aquí llegaban productos de Europa y salían miles de pieles de nutrias, Caimanes y plumas de garza. Hasta había consulados de Alemania, Francia e Inglaterra. Cátedra La Vorágine @mincultura

very intriguing find published this #FossilFriday: the new loricariid catfish Afrocascudo saharaensis from the Kem Kem!
found from the Oum Tkout locality, which has produced unique taxa such as Serenoichthys, it pushes back its family’s fossil record by over 35 ma

Have a look at this @forbes article by @ligaze on the academic journey and cool studies of one of my favourite #poisonfrog researchers (and once my school pupil!), @rmp033 🫶🏾 "Unlocking The Mystery Of Why Poison Frogs Don’t Poison Themselves" 🐸☠️ forbes.com/sites/andrewwight…

The search has begun for my successor! Collections-focused ichthyologists with expertise in systematics, phylogenetics, biogeography, and conservation should apply by April 14. I can happily answer questions about the awesome department and collection.

Do all freshwater 🐟🐟🐟 show the same spp richness pattern? No! But all patterns (classic LDG, inverse & bimodal) are explained by the same process!
