Chris Thacker and I have published a new review on the phylogenetics and biology of acanthopterygian fishes. This lineage includes more than 19,100 species, comprising nearly one third of all species of vertebrate animals! link.springer.com/article/10…

Last week, a video of a rare black seadevil anglerfish spotted near the ocean surface made headlines because anglerfish typically live in very deep waters. Dr. @Sternarchella joins us to discuss the video and recent research on anglerfish evolution. buff.ly/3XbxoYb

Since it is Presidents' Day, here is the Highland Darter (Etheostoma teddyroosevelt), named (scientific name) after the 26th president of the U.S., Teddy Roosevelt. It can be found in the Arkansas River drainage and upper reaches of the White River drainage on the Ozark Plateau.

After "WILD caught" they should add "...and it's been in the wild a loooong time. Like seriously, have you ever eaten something as old as your grandparents?"

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Very proud of this paper led by @L_DBall where we examine what ‘Unexplored’ means in a natural history context - we recommend ‘biodiversity blindspots’ instead for places that lack digitized public data Video abstract youtu.be/QZ8wUrgJEao Paper here peerj.com/articles/18511/
