Beyond excited to say my first PhD paper (and first first-author) is out today in @Nature 🤯. Taking a new approach to key innovations, we show rapidly gaining/losing complex teeth accelerates speciation in fishes. Look out for a longer thread soon…

Super proud of my 2nd PhD paper exploring shifts in evo. integration among reef fish fins with expansions in locomotor modes, out now in Evolution. Within modes there is much diversity in fin shape and weak connections between form and function. doi.org/10.1093/evolut/qpae1…

I knocked a lot of doors this past year on my campaign and asked people what issues were most important to them. Here are some of the key takeaways from my time spent talking to people here in Texas:

It's so cool how everything from prescription drugs to McDonald's to frozen waffles is contaminated now. It's almost like government regulations were the only thing keeping manufacturers from cutting costs and poisoning us.

A classic key innovation constrains oral jaw functional diversification in fishes doi.org/10.1093/evlett/qrae0… Now in @EvolLetters by @Alexuss_Symone, @cmart_fishmorph, @damalichthys, and @PeterWainwrig15
Figure 1 from the paper. Illustrations of the the oral (lateral view; shaded in black) and pharyngeal (lateral view; shaded in gold) jaw structures involved in prey capture and processing function are shown at the top. Photos show closed mouth (left) and maximum gape (right) stages of feeding motions for a subset of 12 species. There is a phylogeny on the right hand side plotting a stochastic character map shows the relatedness of the 228 study species across 43 acanthomorph families and the evolutionary character history of the MPJ

I am SO PROUD to say that the indomitable @Alexuss_Symone 's 3rd ch. is OUT NOW at Evolution Letters! With me, @cmart_fishmorph , & Peter Wainwright, we find that a famous key innovation in feeding apparatus LIMITS functional diversification! doi.org/10.1093/evlett/qrae0…
