Its long been assumed that a reduction in the SDA will provide more ‘free’ energy for allocation to animal growth. In our JEB commentary, we are proposing the exact opposite: that a larger SDA might actually be indicative of better growth performance https://t.co/lpEpmpiLLn

P.s I have a lab instagram that I actually use to talk about our research: @ goodfishlab https://t.co/WT1WI3UzFU

Happy to announce a PhD opportunity in my lab at @ZoophysiologyAU @BiologyAarhus on retinal respiratory and metabolic physiology. The position is fully funded and open to both national and international students. (1/2)

Pretty unreal to be named a #ForbesUnder30! Thanks folks and fish rule 🐟 @IMASUTAS @UTAS_

If you’re working in animal comparative physiology or biomechanics & are within 5 years of setting up your first lab, apply for our ECR Visiting Fellowships & Research Partnership Kickstart Travel Grants. Deadline 3 June https://t.co/xq5eCG8qwu https://t.co/L5IlQpoud0

Our new study, hot off the press! Deeper reef climate impacts on the Great Barrier Reef

In her ECR Spotlight, @H_R_Goodrich tells us how a series of fortuitous events led her to join the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies in lutruwita as a lecturer & how building a supportive network of like-minded kind colleagues is essential https://t.co/SVrhCyMjAW

In their Commentary, @H_R_Goodrich @Tobias_Wang_AU & co discuss the mechanisms underlying the rise in metabolism during digestion. Apparently protein synthesis is the main contributor #comparativephysiology #science #zoology #Biology https://t.co/qUvsfeI8l5

In here you’ll find a summary of evidence both for and against existing perspectives (with a focus on ectothermic vertebrates) and a bunch of experiments aimed at understanding what the SDA truly represents. @Tobias_Wang_AU @fishycarb @Timothy_D_Clark @IMASUTAS

I am excited to host the session called "Vertebrate Cardiorespiratory Physiology" at this year's #SEBconference 2024 meeting in Prague that seeks to cover recent advances in cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic and acid-base physiology!

Check out the open #PhD in my lab, investigating the energetic advantages of schooling behaviour in gregarious fishes. Supervised by me, co-supervised by @clivetrue & @shaunkillen, funded through the INSPIRE DTP. Reach out to me with any questions! https://t.co/WwHlUBDFgA

Want to do a PhD investigating eco-physiological traits of fish that prepare them for climate change? Competitive DUPR scholarships available through @Deakin! DM me if you have a relevant background and strong academic record. Please RT! #fishsci https://t.co/6hL38YUPS2

PHD SCHOLARSHIPS (x2): Fully funded PHDs based at @Deakin looking at urchin & abalone aquaculture. The students will look at aquaculture as a possible solution to overabundant urchins, and will inform a feeding strategy that optimises growth & efficiency of abalone respectively.

Thank you to organisers Carol Bucking @withfewerwords & Chris Wood and everyone who joined us for our Workshop "Inside Out: New Frontiers in the Comparative Physiology of the Vertebrate Gut". #BiologistsWorkshops https://t.co/y1aTt7KYEJ

RESEARCH REVIEW: Ever wondered why some fish grow faster than others? Researchers @IMASUTAS  and @Deakin, @DeakinSEBE summarised available knowledge on the drivers of interindividual fish growth differences to answer this question. https://t.co/jTNNbHWisi

We conclude by suggesting 10 research questions that will help to determine the mechanisms underlying interindividual differences in fish growth. 7/7

Lastly, we discuss the role of the gut microbiome and how differences in the diversity and abundance of gut microbes can work to influence fish behaviour, digestion and ultimately growth. 6/7

But even in species with no obvious dominance structure, we still observe interindividual differences in grow rates. In these scenarios we might expect growth variation to be influenced by factors that affect energy use and uptake via the metabolic and digestive phenotype 5/7
