Symposium on Fish Mating Systems (Czechia, 21-23 Jan 2026): REGISTRATION NOW OPEN at fish.ivb.cz/registration/ Plenary talks by Suzanne Alonzo, John Fitzpatrick, and Chiara Benvenuto. #TeamFish

Interested in Fish Mating Systems? Join us for a small symposium in Brno, Czechia, from 21 to 23 January 2026! The invited speakers are Suzanne Alonzo, John Fitzpatrick, and Suzanna Pla. More information at fish.ivb.cz

Some species may become "cuckoos" in other ways than redirecting their own parental care to others. 🪺 🦈🪹🐟 We have mathematically analysed when and how this may happen ⬇️

Beyond thrilled to share 3 papers on the killifish from our lab and fantastic collaborators!! 🐟🙌 Two on protein aggregates during aging – with @JaroszLab! cell.com/developmental-… cell.com/cell-reports/f… One on evolution of 'suspended animation'! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

The ultimate sacrifice? 🔥Amazing work @NatureAging by Tehila and Eitan, demonstrating that the germline regulates vertebrate longevity and somatic repair! A fun collaboration with @SagivShifman, @WJGreenleaf, Oren Ram & Ehud Cohen! Follow & retweet!! nature.com/articles/s4358…

🐟 Our Video Award Category Winner is Jack Perks with his video 'Bitterling' 🏆 Congratulations to Jack for this beautiful video capturing the secret lives of bitterling in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Watch the full video in our Winners Gallery on our website! #underwatervideos

The second chapter of my dissertation is published! High turnover rate of sex chromosomes and differential expansion of a shared sex determining region across the Tanganyikan cichlid tribe Tropheini link.springer.com/article/10.103…

Excellent work by Wenjing Yi, in collaboration between our team and Mike Richardson's lab from Leiden is finally out!

We're hiring! <°°)))>< Interested in deep-sea fish and their eyes? In molecular evolution? We look for a PhD student to join our team in Prague. ERC funding for the single-cell transcriptomics. fishevo.com/erc-funded-phd… (postdocs wanted too, stay tuned). Happy for retweets!😍 thks

Postdoc position open on genomics of deep-sea fish vision. We're hiring! Fond of fish eyes and transcriptomics? Genomics, regulation, single-cell data? We want you in Prague:-) fishevo.com/erc-funded-pos… Funded by @ERC_Research (+PhD call in another post). Happy for retweets😍 thks

Interested in learning more about sexual selection in a changing world – how does it influence adaptation, how can the information be applied in conservation, and much more discussed in this workshop: centromajorana.it/sexualselectio…

Finally, the companion volume to our earlier book is soon out 🥳 This is more about how knowledge about behaviour can be used to solve real world problems 👍

This week at the #WilhelminenbergSeminarTalks: Martin Reichard visited the @KLIVVWien to give a fascinating and insightful talk about the evolution of brood parasitism in fishes.🐠 @Fish_EcoEvo @CzechAcademy @VetmeduniVienna

📢‼️ Our Nature is finally out! Despite the fact that several fish taxa colonise Lake Victoria 15.000 years ago, only cichlids were able to radiate in more than 500 spp, WHY?? discover more in the new article by @nare_ng_ and collaborators ⬇️⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4158…

In this new paper we show how cycles of speciation and hybridization have facilitated exceptionally fast adaptive radiations of cichlid fish into hundreds of species across four trophic kevels in just 16“000 years. ⁦@joana_meier⁩ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🚨Postdoc alert🚨 My group at the Leibniz Institute on Aging in Jena is looking for postdoc candidates to study microbiome dynamics during host-aging. jobs.leibniz-fli.de/jobposting/78d…

Exciting new position in the Valenzano lab!!

Matej Polačik and his team have a new paper out on their further effort to understand natural development of annual killifish embryos, now with data from South America. More on evolutionary parallelism in embryonic development of remarkable annual fish: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
