Well, our retirement lasted four months and it's definitely time for a re-introduction of sorts! ZR! covers highlights of all things #zebrafish and other cool teleost species. We act as a resource hub for questions/queries from the community while celebrating all those that are part of it! #RockOn 🧪
Happy (zebra) Turkey (fish) day to those that celebrate! We are incredibly thankful for the animal care staff and lab members that are looking after the fish this holiday weekend! #YouRock

Can't believe that our pre-print on the evolution of iridescence in swordtails was covered by @elearlybird.bsky.social on the TWiEVO podcast! I love the suggestion to rename the endogenous foamy retrovirus to "sparkle pony" -- what do you think @nadiahaghani.bsky.social?

Wonderful new global initiative for the fish community 🐟 To follow more news on this, follow @shoalbase.bsky.social 🧪
🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.
ShoalBase | Join, Explore, Contribute Now
ShoalBase offers a global database on fish social behaviour, supporting research, conservation, and ecology through community contributions and visual data mapping.
