Why are coral reef fishes so productive?🪸🐠.This question has puzzled @bellwoodlab for a long time🧐. To help him find an answer, I joined forces with @helenyaan and @RenatoAMorais and results are out today in @Nature. Growth is key!. 🔗⬇️🧵 (1/9)

Incredible first PhD chapter, @iSEAbelle_ng!.Great to see it out and what wonderful shots too🤩. check out 👇 for some great fishy science 🐠.
Reef fishes are diverse, & so are their diets. What led to the diversity of diets🍴seen in fishes on reefs today? 🪸🐠. Read more here: Published in @RSocPublishing w/ @bellwoodlab, @JanStrugnell, @ParraviciniVale, & @SiqueiraAleC. @jcu @ReefFunctionHub
