Fish considered thermally tolerant can still be extremely vulnerable in early life.
We found that developmental temperatures of 33°C (regularly experienced in North Qld) resulted in severe spinal deformities and mortality in mosquitofish.

My first time sharing some of my findings from my @jcu postdoc, looking at how temperature impacts spinal development in eastern mosquitofish

A big congratulations to Dr Gabriela Melo (co-supervised with A/Prof Matt Hall and Dr Jake Martin) on her graduation day 🥳 @MonashBiol #BobWongLab
As a part of our phenotype analysis I present to you… fish racing 🏁

Reviewing footage from our boldness testing arenas… looks like fish can also get the zoomies!

I’ve set up a second aquarium with some corys and danios, in addition to my guppy aquarium. Might be starting to get a little fish obsessed 😅

Time for your annual reminder that it’s Tasmanian devil dispersal season!
This means young devils out finding their way in the world are particularly vulnerable, & often drawn towards roads for easy passage & food. So watch your speed on Tassie roads this season (& always!)

A variety of species across the animal kingdom can reproduce both sexually and asexually, including some types of starfish, water fleas, hammerhead sharks and Komodo dragons. @jcu theconversation.com/facultat…
I wrote an article for @ConversationEDU about facultative sex, after I found out that many people outside of biology have never heard of the concept. I think it's such a neat ability that everyone should know about!

Summertime on campus and the ponds near the #EddieKoikiMaboLibrary are doing their thing. #jcu #jcutownsville #nymphaea

My AES flash talk (top left) is done! Great presentations all round ☺️
Still adjusting to the heat and humidity of North Queensland but a recent highlight was getting to see fireflies for the first time. Got a shot of one on my hand - such amazing creatures!
#WildOz #firefly #bioluminescence
Such an inspiration 😊
Oh so proud... when your former PhD student and newly crowned DECRA introduces the plenary speaker at a major international conference. One of the future stars of science, @AnneAulsebrook, @ISBE2024
