[1/2] This #butterflyfish collected from the #CoralReefs of #Palau (western #Pacific) is described as a #NewSpecies thanks to the revolutionary mixed-gas, closed-circuit rebreather diving technology.

[2/2] The #NewSpecies [left] & its closest relative [right, see: doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.614.…] may look incredibly alike, but remain very different genetically.

Here are 3 #NewSpecies of #damselfish from the #Philippines further demonstrating the immense, yet unknown #biodiversity of the #CoralReef “twilight zone”.

Our paper describing three new species of #mesophotic Chromis from the Philippines came out in @ZooKeys_Journal today! So I will start a thread talking a little bit about each species. But first, here is a link to the paper: zookeys.pensoft.net/article/…

Now, just to show you how much we still don't know about #mesophotic coral ecosystems, today another incredible new species was described! A new butterflyfish from Palau! Publication led by @JoshuaCopus zookeys.pensoft.net/article/…

Another spectacular new species of Tosanoides gets a name! Meet Tosanoides annepatrice from Pohnpei, Micronesia, and you can see it alive at @calacademy! zookeys.pensoft.net/articles…

Geopolitical species revisited: genomic and morphological data indicate that the roundtail chub Gila robusta species complex (Teleostei, Cyprinidae) is a single species bit.ly/2xSadpl

Some asshole fish crawled out of the water 35 million years ago and thanks to him we have staff meetings.

America’s best parks program, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, has put parks in every county in the United States. Unless Congress acts, it goes away on Sept. 30th: bit.ly/2M8qfEv

Because who cares about our incredible public lands, clean air and endangered wildlife? @Trevornoah on @TheDailyShow describes it best: on.cc.com/2LSlgo8

I fear the Trump administration is seeking to overturn the almost 20-year-old Roadless Rule to allow for development in the nation’s few remaining pristine open spaces, including vital watersheds that supply clean drinking water.

Sorry not sorry #WrasseWednesday, our @Austmus #FishOfTheWeek is the Magma Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus shutmani), found on a volcanic @mesophotic reef in the Philippines (re Tony Gill and Yi-Kai Tea @Sydney_Uni). Can you top this fiery fish @CoralReefFish?

Here is a 1-minute video that does a great job of explaining the main findings of our @sciencemagazine paper on #mesophotic coral reefs. Well done @ScienceNews! With @SteinhartBart @pimbongaerts @Dr_Yannis science.sciencemag.org/conte… youtu.be/MGDlh1SzW3I

Absurd: @Interior crams complex environmental review, concerns from local tribes and hundreds of thousands of comments from the American people into mere months (instead of years) wapo.st/2Lwr4U6 via @eilperin @StevenMufson #ProtectTheArctic

For a long time people assumed that #mesophotic ecosystems were untouched refuges for shallow coral reef fauna. Our new paper in @sciencemagazine today shows that this is not the case! Deep reefs are unique and threatened! science.sciencemag.org/conte…

Important federal protections for wildlife are under attack in Congress. RT to urge your members of Congress to oppose Sen. Barrasso’s “Eliminating Species Act” and all other legislation that weakens the Endangered Species Act! #StopExtinction

ICYMI: New bills would:
☑️ Make Americans have to pay to protest drilling
☑️ Speed up drilling permits,
☑️ Tie children’s education funding to drilling
