The pizza represents a site, slices represent water samples, bites represent PCR replicates, toppings represent species and olives represent a low-abundance species.

Something for the weekend... our preprint on how SSRI treatment inhibits female response to male courtship in a cichlid fish.

Our new #salmon paper - individual migration success is genotype dependent. This was a big one (and even featured on Paolo's viva cake). Thanks to an awesome set of coauthors! #OA #FishSci #TeamFish #Freshwater

Two decades of fish measurements from UK rivers, a lot of work by some of my colleagues...

A great new paper came out: Amelia Munson & Cairsty DePasquale have published a review that explores the design factors worth considering when using mazes to study cognition in fish.

I was contacted by one of our graduates who is now working in an aquarium and asked me about cichlids because they "remembered from the first year that I love them". My take home from this is that I don't go on about cichlids enough in the second and third year of our degrees...

We investigated the effect of a fishway on the genetic structure of brown trout populations, finding that the fishway *increased* genetic structuring, we think because it enabled fish to move to their preferred spawning sites.

Yesterday my salmonid genomics PhD student Paolo Moccetti passed his viva - congratulations! Thank you Jamie Stevens for externalling and Jon Bolland for being a fab co-supervisor. You can find Paolo's chapters in preprint/published here, and if he didn't already have a great job to go to, I would be recommending him for post docs :)

New paper: The non-linear effects of increasing temperature on aggression in fish.

We explored the change in aggression with exposure to different temperatures in - the princess of Zambia (Neolamprologus pulcher).

These fish use aggression to maintain their complex social systems - they are co-operative breeders. We explored the effect of temperature on aggression across a large range of temperatures.
