  6. Some fishes from our dives with @slomo in Ammouliani on the second weekend of June.

    Featuring: an ornate wrasse, two brown parrotfishes that look like they are kissing, nudibranch eggs, and a marbled goby camouflaged in the sand.

  8. A couple of pictures from diving with @vivia two weeks ago at Nea Peramos.

    Featuring: A sea cow nudibranch grazing on sponge-covered rocks, a wrasse between rocks and yellow sponges with a sea urchin and various shells behind it, a dorid nudibranch (felimare picta) grazing on sponge-covered rocks with a second one right below it in the shadows, and a painted comber swimming above coarse sand and rocks covered with peacock's tail algae and shells.

  10. The ability to recognize its own image in a #mirror is a famous test to explore #conscientiousness in animals. It is still a contentious issue among biologists and psychologists, and there is a vivid debate about the existence of such advance cognitive skills in #fish. A new paper respond to previous methodological criticisms. #science #biology #cognition #animalbehaviour #wrasse #mirrortest #selfrecognition
