Wrasses and parrotfish (Labridae) are among the most diverse lineages of reef fishes on earth. A new study sheds light on their diversification during the Miocene. Painting reef fish is fun because I get to use turquoise and magenta!. #sciart #fish

Wow @ChaseBrownstein congrats!! This is a huge accomplishment and such cool research. It���s always a pleasure painting fish for the @TJNear lab, especially when they are as beautifully diverse as wrasses.

The paintings were created with watercolor. Using a ton of water, some choice colors, and a little bit of salt, the first layer of paint showed the contours of the rocks and leaves for the backgrounds. I could then add the shadows and details.

Research by Sonal Singhal and colleagues explores approaches to understanding #speciation through the example of Xantusia lizards. My challenge as a science illustrator was to paint the ecomorphs and their distinct habitats: rock crevices and decaying leaves. #sciart #evolution

Excited to see my fish paintings in another publication by @TJNear and Chris Thacker. 19,100 species 🤯 I haven’t painted that many… yet. #sciart #scientificillustration.

Chris Thacker and I have published a new review on the phylogenetics and biology of acanthopterygian fishes. This lineage includes more than 19,100 species, comprising nearly one third of all species of vertebrate animals!.

It is Invasive Species Awareness Week, and I designed 5 posters for the @ISWGvt. This one is about the environmental impacts of #invasivespecies. Did you know invasive species account for 60% of global plant and animal extinctions?. #sciart #invasivespeciesweek
