First McMahon lab talk (of 10) in the books at #OSM24. Thanks @Matt_D_Ramirez for kicking things off with a fantastic talk on highly siloed coral reed food webs across major disturbance gradients. FYI Matt is recruiting a new MS student!

Great talks by @Matt_D_Ramirez and #stephanemartinez (members of the @DrKeltonMcMahon lab, past and present) too kick off #OSM24
Coral reef trophic niches across reef disturbance gradients AND fish reef abundance and diversity changing with reef complexity.

Thrilled to share the findings of our recent study, made possible by intergenerational specimen collection efforts and the incredible teamwork and dedication of Miguel Camacho, @marcuschua, Manuel Ruedi, Darrin Lunde, @shrewangel, Hasmahzaiti Omar, @JenBiologist, & @treeshrew13
It's not every day you can announce a new species of mammal. It's an even rarer one when you can share the news about five!
A new study led by Smithsonian researchers and colleagues has IDed five new species of soft-furred hedgehogs from Southeast Asia. s.si.edu/3NBA10w

I am stoked to annouce that my masters has finally been published in @ASNAmNat! Here we investigated whether the evolution of a diadromous life history can alter rates of trait evolution and drive phenotypic convergence in clupeiformes. Check er out!

Can the effect of temperature on metabolism explain population trends of bluefin #tuna- and predict the future?
In a new paper we use a stable #isotope based proxy to measure thermal sensitivity of field metabolism in Atlantic BFT

This is JC. JC serves on our board as the Vice-President of Communications. She is a research associate at both the @NMNH and the @LSU_MNS.
As an evolutionary biologist, she asks evolutionary questions about different organisms. Find out why in the video below! #BlackInNHMs

Meet our president, Adania! She is a PhD candidate at the @UF department of biology and the @FloridaMuseum.
Adania is a fish biologist. She is passionate about introducing students of diverse backgrounds, particularly those most marginalized in STEM. #BlackInNHMs

Happy 84th birthday to Claudette Colvin!
She refused to move to the back of a bus 9 months before Rosa Parks, the NAACP did not want to use her to represent them because she was 15 & pregnant.
Other women who refused to give up their seats before Rosa Parks

Today, I'm adding article data to @BioDivLibrary for "Marine investigations in South Africa" (1902-1908) to make this knowledge more discoverable – a request from BHL superuser Gary Poore @museumsvictoria @WRMarineSpecies. biodiversitylibrary.org/bibl…

I tell students that the greatest strength in science is tenacity. Some days just not quitting counts as success.

Africa is portrayed as a continent without history before slavery and colonialism. African History isn't known by many people compared to the history of Europe, Americas, and Asia.
Some of the world's great civilisations such as Mali flourished in Africa.

PhD opportunity!!!
I'm looking for a student to join my lab in a project studying hummingbird communities and pollination in Andean urban cities. Great opportunity if you are interested in network ecology, animal behavior, and pollination.
