🧵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 offers a global database on fish social behaviour, supporting research, conservation, and ecology through community contributions and visual data mapping.

How is soil functioning shaped by aridity? 🌲🌵 We studied this along a natural aridity gradient.

📌 Microbial structure shifted with aridity, but soil functions were mainly driven by local soil properties.

After so many years of toil, we've finally done it. Definitive proof that guppies can quantum phase shift between dimensions. Congrats to @helenanorman.bsky.social for this game-changing discovery. 🥳 #fishsci
