@_seachange @otago @Eleanor62446061 @MarineOtago Nice project. I used a similar hypothesis to convince myself I didn't need to tidy my room as an early teen.

I’ve wanted to do this exp. for a long time! Does habitat complexity affect brain development? Triplefin recruits will be reared for 9 months in these mesocosms, after which, we will look at behaviour, neurotransmitters & brain morphology. Thanks to a generous @otago UORG grant!

So far our surveys & exploration of the MCEs from 50m to 150m depth 📸@CoralReefFish & his team from @CalAcademy has come across many exciting & possibly new species. Findings will help revise the Fishes of the Maldives Checklist.

I was asked to co-teach the Advanced Ecology this past fall (graduate core course @uricels). I decided to dedicate half of my section to talking about decolonizing Ecology. Evals suggest I made a good choice: #DecolonizingEcology #DiversityandInclusion #BlackinSTEM #LatinxinSTEM

@gobysimon @CoralReefFish Idk, watch this space. While sorting and photographing samples, I heard an odd mutterance of "That's a really good looking one".

The greatest benefit of decompression is that I have hours to photograph species in the shallows! And here in the Maldives there are many species I haven’t seen before like this endemic Amphiprion nigripes (the Maldives Anemonefish)! #hopeforreefs
