Did you know that female reef mantas in Hawai‘i only reproduce at the island where they were born? 🤔The first genetic study of reef manta rays in Hawai‘i found that each island has separate and genetically distinct populations! Learn more: fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-s…

Slender mola (Ranzania laevis) embryos ready for life in the blue… and a postlarval mola, 26 days in culture. Young #mola larvae live close to the ocean surface. Older larvae prefer darker, deeper waters; hence those giant light-sensitive eyes! #larvalfishproject #fishlarvae

Does #larvalfish phenotype influence #dispersal outcomes? After 2 years of field sampling, 2 years of lab work, and another 2 years adjusting the model to satisfy reviewers, I am happy share that yes, yes it does. New paper out in @royalsociety #ProcB doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2019.11…

This brought me tears and I can only empathise, support and agree with the valid, justified emotions and experiences of @VanJones68 who reacted to @JoeBiden’s election 💙

Three years ago, after Charlottesville, Joe Biden was moved to break his silence. "We are living through a battle for the soul of this nation,” he wrote, in @TheAtlantic. That became the theme of his campaign, which has now taken him to the White House:

A 3/4" larval deepwater #cuskeel (likely Bassozetus sp.) makes a rare appearance on a #blackwaterdive off #Oahu. Adult Bassozetus sp. live at continental slope to abyssal depths. The larval form is a beauty. The adults…not so much. 🙏Bruce Mundy ID. #larvalfishproject

This is from a sample collected in the Gulf Stream - fish larva and a fast-moving siphonophore. Many diatoms, copepods, and a few urchin larvae can be seen in the background @UGA_MarineSci

Batesian mimicry! They look an awful lot like hydromedusae which are generally much more abundant than larval fishes – at Savannah, GA

#eDNA #metabarcoding folks: our paper out yesterday has the following methods: 1) combining data from multiple loci, 2) creating indices of abundance using time series, 2) network analysis to suggest ecological interactions among taxa. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
