PhD position alert: join a diverse team of palaeontologists to study the evolution of temnospondyls! The PhD project @smnstuttgart.bsky.social will focus on bone microanatomy: lots of fun with thin-sections and CT in perspective. Whoever you are: don't hesitate to reach out!

Very cool paper and approach! A highly recommended read!
I'm excited to finally share our review on the evolution of enameloids and enamels, now published in Biological Reviews!

Came across this glorious Pac-Man impersonator, Bathophilus brevis, while measuring fishes at the Scripps collection with @lizmillermacroevo.bsky.social. It just decided that all it needed in life was a huge mouth and a tail 😂

What would you most like to know about #lungfishes? ... Why they have such ginormous genomes? How they breathe air? How they embarrassed taxonomists?

Lungfishes
Alice Clement introduces the lungfishes, a group of sarcopterygian fishes that uses lungs to breathe and is the living sister group to tetrapod vertebrates.

Blennies are some of my faves.
They are the perfect mix of goofy, kinda ugly and cute.

It would be impossible to cover bioluminescence for #25DaysOfFishmas and not discuss lanternfish. They are, by biomass, the most important group of mesopelagic fish, and are highly diverse, so I've just picked my personal favourite - Lampadena speculigera, the mirror lanternfish.
