In situ estimation of active dispersal abilities in reef fish early life stages using tracking technologies

Most reef fishes possess an early pelagic stage that ensures the crucial role of maintaining connectivity between distant populations, as movements of older demersal stages are generally restricte...

Continuity in morphological disparity in tropical reef fishes across evolutionary scales - Communications Biology

Morphological disparity in tropical reef fishes links intra- and interspecific variation, shaped by ecological and evolutionary processes. Dispersal traits promote genetic diversity and disparity, hig...

Tagliacollo et al. mine GenBank for 51 markers for 5,984 taxa and produce a "Time-calibrated phylogeny of Neotropical freshwater fishes" in Frontiers in Bioinformatics. A testament to the value of the database I help maintain for biodiversity studies. frontiersin.org/journals/bio...

Why do seahorses, goatfishes, dragonets and flying gurnards evolve differently across oceans? 🌏🐟 A new study led by Scripps researchers reveals that colonization dynamics drive the decoupling of species richness and morphological diversity. Dive in: www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...
