🐟 Meet the tailspot wrasse! This new tropical fish species was discovered during a research expedition to the islands of the Revillagigedo Archipelago by a team of scientists, including Scripps Marine Vertebrate Collection Manager Ben @Frable. 🐠 scripps.ucsd.edu/news/new-fish-…

Ornate ghost pipefish, in front of a black coral, whis is only black when dead and dried. Dauin, Philippines, Masaplod sur dive site. I love this dive site. #muckDiving

@isdatmaybs Beautiful! Hopefully many many more in 2024 👏

First hike and hopefully not the last for the year 😁🍃

Three sunsets in a row we’ve seen these two lovebirds doing their part to produce a bumper crop of baby highhats in Biscayne Bay this summer 🔮🐟💞🐟💨#highhat #mating #matingritual #sunset #gametes #coral #coralcitycamera #miami #portmiami #miamibeach #biscaynebay #coralcity

How important is #evolution 🧬in helping or hindering species responses to #globalchange 🌏? Potentially a lot, but we don't know yet. New review and guidelines on using temporal #genomics to understand global change, led by @rene_delight! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17… @evolvingseas

The anticipation is killing me 🥶. Excited to be in Raja Ampat

Plotosus lineatus, striped eel catfish. Plotosus? Plotos them too! #schooling #fish #TeamFish #scuba #ocean These fish are pretty #venomous, more about that here: youtube.com/watch?v=sbpv9L…

Hey #TempGen2021Tweets! Planning to do enzymatic reduced representation using museum specimens? You might need up to 24% more historical DNA 🐟🧬to get sequence results comparable to contemporary samples. Follow this thread to find out more 1/7

This is likely due to altered enzymatic activity during library preparation. Consequently, up to 24% more DNA 🧬 per museum specimen needs to be sequenced to achieve comparable sequence results to contemporary fish 🐠. Stay tuned for more @PhilippinesPIRE results 7/7

Sequencing of degraded museum specimens preserved in EtOH for >100 years is possible, but can result in more sequence substitution errors, unintended loci and decreased depth of coverage compared to contemporary samples. 6/7
