Check out my recent #JFB Between the Covers: "Everybody needs good neighbours, even if you’re a winter flounder". https://doi.org/10.1111/jfb.15954
Highlights work by Dolan et al investigating #migration and #GeneticDiversity in the winter #flounder, that have been hammered by #fishing. https://doi.org/10.1111/JFB.15890
Results from 375 samples showed that there is connectivity between neighbouring estuary subpopulations, allowing stronger source subpopulations to facilitate genetic recovery.

Two new fish species discovered in Swiss waters

Something for the weekend... our preprint on how SSRI treatment inhibits female response to male courtship in a cichlid fish.
Our new #salmon paper - individual migration success is genotype dependent. This was a big one (and even featured on Paolo's viva cake). Thanks to an awesome set of coauthors! #OA #FishSci #TeamFish #Freshwater
Goodness me, little new species of damselfish, what big eyes you have!

Two decades of fish measurements from UK rivers, a lot of work by some of my colleagues...

Check out my recent #JFB Between the Covers: "Research and the environment, casualties of war". https://lnkd.in/e6_6YmYK
One of my more hard-hitting editorials highlighting an article by Kutsokon et al. examining the spread of an #InvasiveSpecies of fish in #Ukraine. https://lnkd.in/etvE6X9X
The editorial discusses the impact of war on aquatic environments, as well as the impact on researchers. Both of which leave the scientific community, and humanity, poorer.
