New paper! You can ID Anolis ecomorphs from just an arm! We (Kevin de Queiroz et al) compared the arm morphology of a fossil anole in amber to those of extant Anolis species. We can pretty confidently say the fossil belongs to a Trunk ecomorph lineage. 🧪 🦎 doi.org/10.1670/23-058

Many moons ago @jmhuie.bsky.social#scanAllFishes continues to serve the community.

This will be a very helpful workshop and check out @jmhuie.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.1093/iob/...

Learning all about how salamanders can walk up vertical surfaces (like trees) from @jmhuie.bsky.social#SICB2024. How do they do it? They have bigger feet & longer limbs than other salamanders. They keep their bellies flat to the ground and move only 1 foot at a time. So cool!

Dragged my parents out for a hike to look for salamanders. Found many but no arboreal climbing salamanders 😔 🧪 🦎

Smart move. Museum work calls me a little louder every day

Live animal work will be the bane of my existence. Constantly at the whims and desires of my study animals? I can’t take it anymore!!!

The grant with Agnes Karlsson (PI) just got funded! We'll look for a PhD student to study the effect of hypoxia on stickleback populations and physiology. More later... 🐟🐟🐟 #ecosky

It’s just 9:45 but Southeast Regional SICB is already off to such a fun start! @jmhuie.bsky.social#evosky

@kacorn.bsky.social delivered a wonderful seminar at GW Biology today as our grad student invited speaker! Fish bite! And it makes reef fish evolve really fast!
