Big shoutout to @GraphicsSci for the stunning logo of my new research group at @usponline. Looking for graduate students interested to work on morphological evolution, rodents (but not only), evolutionary trade-offs and macroevolutionary patterns. DM or email me if interested!

My dissertation defense (or exit seminar at UCD) is one month from today! I would love for you to join us to hear all about reef fish morphological diversity and the evolutionary routes reef fish take to reach the strangest morphologies. zoom link: https://t.co/Pm8Z0YaynC

🚨New paper🚨 w/ @cichlidosaurus, @PeterWainwrig15, + my amazing UG Brian Lam is now out in @sse_evolution! Comparing cichlids + centrarchids, we find that the cichlid modified pharyngeal jaw increases coevolution of oral and pharyngeal jaws! Read here:
