Fishes aren’t only diverse with regards to number of species, they are also highly diverse in their morphology. Some stomiids have a functional head joint! They have evolved a “rubber neck” for the purpose of expanding their jaws wide enough to eat big things! #SlugsVsFishes

Wow #6000 twitter followers. Thank you! New followers, HI! I’m a systematic ichthyologist and taxonomist. I describe new species of fishes, and work out their evolutionary histories and relationships using molecular and morphological techniques. I LOVE FISHES. Hope you do too! 🐠

For my #SundayFishSketch contribution, here are species of butteflyfishes from the genus Prognathodes. I made this using Microsoft paint. See if you can ID them all!

When I joined twitter two years ago I never thought I’d come to love this community so much. You guys make coming online and sharing my passion and fishes a treat. Look at these amazing fish art from my lovely twitter friends. @ryangreenway @LukeBaggott96 @chloe_fish_art @kntsrgn

@DanDagostino_ Nothing in particular - I’m doing C&S dissections on wrasses (looking at osteology). The seahorse was a piggy back specimen from another department. I don’t work on those, just helping them out with it. Not entirely sure what they’re looking for with those.

1/n Ok #ScienceTwitter and #TaxonomyTwitter. Back me up here cuz I can’t @ Pokémon being lumpers. These two are clearly different species.

- Galar and Kanto (allopatric populations)
- Geographical disjunction (no interbreeding)
- distinct morphological and typing difference
