  2. Fossilized fish ear stones – known as #otoliths – can reveal far more than previously thought.
    In a recent study, a team of palaeontologists from #univienna demonstrated that a refined electron microscopy technique can make even the finest growth rings visible. 🐟🔬 #palaeontology

  3. The Ocean Within by Yvette Monahan

    Photographer Yvette Monahan: ‘Otoliths, or ear stones, have revealed a fascinating world of fish senses. Otoliths can serve as biological timekeepers and storytellers – much like tree rings, holding the collective memory of the aquatic world. These remarkable otolith structures hold a biochronology– a map of life experiences embedded and made visible within their physical forms’

  4. At the moment this site feels a little like the awkward first days of a #conference where you don't really know anyone and are wondering what the etiquette is.. At some point the posters will go up and the refreshments will come out...

  5. Hi all, #Introduction time! Im an aquatic ecologist working in water science in rainy #Canberra Australia. My #phd was on freshwater fish early life history, with lots of time fiddling with #otoliths of a really cool fish, Mogurnda adspersa. My interests include #rstats #datavis and data science in general. Pic is of a small native fish in the Canberra region, Galaxias olidus. For more: www.danswell.org #sciencemastodon

  6. Time for an #introduction as I try to figure out this new platform! Hi everyone, I’m Kylee and I am a first year #PhDstudent at #TheOhioStateUniversity. I study #YellowPerch interactions with #bythotrephes in the western basin of #LakeErie and the impacts on angling success. I love #otoliths and fish movements and migrations too! Can’t wait to connect with you all!
