New species alert! A Pascua goby from the Coral Sea. This genus now contains four species. Two from the Eastern Pacific and two from Australia, with more than 5,500km separating them. Lots of fun describing my second new species. #TeamFish #Fish

Merry Christmas everyone! Also, there's still time to apply for a PhD with me and folks at the @nhm-london.bsky.social looking at tiny #fishes from the UK and beyond. Apply for this PhD @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social through www.findaphd.com/phds/project... and join #teamfish

Drudging through my old X posts, I found this beauty. It's so wrong but so right; I want one for my office. #teamfish

Here's one I was lucky enough to see last year in the New Forest

I just found out about the existence of stink badgers! Look at their adorable squirty butts! https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/blogs/creatura-blog/2020/09/the-sunda-stink-badger-is-the-cutest-little-stinker/

The first species I described - Tempestichthys bettyae

On a country walk in the beautiful English spring on Sunday we found this beautiful beetle 🪲 - an oil beetle. Little did I know that in their larval stage they are brutal murderers of solitary bees 🐝
