It hardly feels real but it’s finally done! Thank you to everyone who came to my defense and all who watched remotely I could never have anticipated there would be so many! What an [adjective] time that was. I couldn’t have asked for better than the @ToBoLab

Please join us THIS Friday (Dec 2nd) for the doctoral dissertation defense of Mykle Hoban (@thefishbotherer) ! The talk will be at 2:30 pm HST in Bilger 150. DM us for more info if you would like to join virtually! Outstanding flyer credit to @ladymisskai 🐟🐡🐠
The flyer for the dissertation defense has the text "Mykle Hoban Dissertation Defense Dimensions in Marine Biodiversity / Traditional and molecular approaches to unraveling the mysteries of the deep / Friday Dec. 2, 2:30 Filter 150. The poster is all black and white, and the right and left vertical edges of the flyer are bordered by DNA. The main scene depicts an underwater view of a diver, we can assume to be Mykle, using a fish as a rebreather, in the black water around him are myriad other marine creatures, waiting to hear the talk. On the surface of the water above is a small ship sitting on calm water, ready to bring the diver back to shore, the view also has low mountains in the distance with small clouds peaking out behind them.

New #OA paper out! A @JoshuaCopus joint: are #mesophotic reef fish populations older / more stable than shallow? Our phylogeographic survey of deep-reef squirrelfishes & soldierfishes suggests not. mdpi.com/1424-2818/14/8/691/…
An underwater photo of a group of five Neoniphon aurolineatus squirrelfishes. They are sleek fish with reddish heads and yellow-lined bodies.

An underwater photo of a Myripristis chryseres soldierfish. It is a red fish with bright yellow fins pointing to the right. Below it are a few goatfish and a snapper.

Red Sea fishes are the best. Here's another masked puffer (Arothron diadematus). This one is from Egypt.

I'm on the mood for a #PrettyFish day today, and you know me, when it comes to pretty fishes I think nothing beats the Red Sea. First up, Chaetodon austriacus. #ichthyology

I've stayed mum through #FreshVsSaltyFish so far, but on today's theme of #beauty, I feel compelled to throw up these gorgeous Hawaiian endemics. Chaetodon tinkeri (1) and Pseudanthias hawaiiensis (2,3) are residents of deeper reefs >30m depth and are absolute stunners.

This #AlohaFriday we wanted to commemorate our "Bridge to Nowhere" which is now more like a few steps... This bridge previously was a walkway to a processing building when Moku o Loʻe was a hub for a tuna fishery. Thanks to Chris Suchocki of the @ToBoLab for the shots!

Yesterday on a bay of glass, we were fortunate to catch some of our local mantas (Mobula alfredi) and a large school of ‘ōpelu (Decapterus macarellus) feasting upon the abundant plankton.

A great way to start the new year is with a paper in press - our latest paper (with @phair_nikki @ToBoLab), shows that anthropogenic pressures such as habitat loss can drive declining genomic diversity in seagrasses. bit.ly/2QB4Fdu @ELSenviron @ProjectSeaStore

What the flock?! Our review lead by Brian Bowen in collaboration with @ZacForsman, @DrjJonWhitney, @Anuinhawaii, @JoshuaCopus, @vicentejan, and other @ToBoLab members is now online for free. Why are adaptive radiations and species flocks rare in the sea? academic.oup.com/jhered/adva…
