We have parrotfishes monitoring sites in USVI where we frequently encounter redband, queen, stoplight, redtail, striped, yellowtail, and pricess parrotfishes all mixed together too!

Radiocarbon in otoliths of tropical marine fishes: Reference Δ14C chronology for north Caribbean waters
Reef fishes support important fisheries throughout the Caribbean, but a combination of factors in the tropics makes otolith microstructure difficult to interpret for age estimation. Therefore, validat...

Congrats to our collaborating fishers and scientists!

New research in our lab indicates french angelfish may live to be over 30 years old!
CamDam says scram! to the pair of French angelfish passing a little too close to the algae farm #Frenchangelfish #angelfish #camdam #damselfish #scram #shoo #getoutoftown #coral #coralhead #coralcitycamera #miami #portmiami #miamibeach #biscaynebay #coralcity

Hello 🦋
Introducing my #PhD research one paper at a time. 🐠 Part II
My 1st PhD paper looked at the #cranial_morphometrics of 15 species of syntopic #parrotfish.
I used #R to create a PCA #phylomorphospace to depict the phylogenetic relatedness of these 9 cranial traits.
