🎉 Congratulations to our colleague Francesc Piferrer, from the @GroupBiolRepro: the book "Sex Control in Aquaculture" made it to @bookauthority 's best Aquaculture books of all time! 🔗bookauthority.org/award/Sex-Cont…

🔊 Last GBR paper out! We provide a protocol to develop an #epigenetic #biomarker with prognostic and diagnostic value! It informs on the quality of thermal environment in farmed fish. Check it out from: doi.org/10.1016/j.aqua… @GroupBiolRepro @ICMCSIC

What a wonderful week! living the 30th CECE & ISFE joint congress in Portugal to the most with great scientists and friends :D couldn't ask for more.. and then I even won the 1st prize for the oral talk! Thanks! What an honour!! @GroupBiolRepro @ICMCSIC @J_Exp_Biol @ceceisfe2022

Unexpected results! We report that, in a global warming scenario, fish with chromosomal sex determination (SD) may not necessarily be better protected against the masculinizing effect of high temperature than fish with polygenic SD. doi.org/10.1016/j.envr…

Published! The evolutionary history of sexual systems in fish, with >4600 sp. analyzed. Separate sexes is the ancestral system, and sequential hermaphroditism is an intermediate step in the evolution of simultaneous hermaphroditism. nature.com/articles/s4146… @cbenvenuto73 @ICMCSIC

In a study carried out at Dr. Gen Hua's lab, we uncover transposon-induced epigenetic silencing in the X chromosome. This represents a previously undescribed solution in animals relying on dmrt1 function for sex determination. Check the study at: doi.org/10.1186/s12915…

Everything you ever wanted to know w about seabass sex pnas.org/content/118/50…

What exactly is a hermaphrodite fish and how many are there in the world's oceans? How many undergo the process of sex change? Why are there so few freshwater hermaphrodite fishes? Find answers to these and other questions in our latest paper: rdcu.be/cyYtE

🔊Publication out‼️🔊 Are the offspring from a sex reversed parent more sensitive to environmental perturbation? Check it out in the latest GBR paper by @dafanast and Francec Piferrer ➡️ karger.com/Article/FullTe…

@ardynasios Thank you for all your inspiring work on which part of this review was based!

Nice paper just out by our colleague Francesc Pifferrer & Dafni Anastasiadi on whether or not offspring of parents, one of which is subject to sex reversal are more sensitive to environmental perturbation. doi.org/10.1159/000515…. Focus on fish, but with broader remit. Good read.
