Nearing the endgame for this 11x14” colored pencil illustration of Argyropelecus aculeatus. The diaphanous rays of the fins are killing me (in a good challenging way). Teleosts, they’re dope! 🐟🐠

Anatomy and evolution of bioluminescent organs in the slimeheads (Teleostei: Trachichthyidae)
Bacterial perianal and cephalic bioluminescent organs with similar structure likely evolved separately in the trachichthyoid fishes.

Life as a fish means that sometimes, you have eldritch-looking copepods with long skinny necks stick their anchor-shaped head into your bodily tissue, so that they can drink your sweet, sweet teleost blood

Atlantic Mackerel, Scomber scrombus. These pretty, shiny fish live in large schools for protection!

Unfortunately I missed last week but I'm back for
I've seen a lot of teleosts, but elasmobranchs can be colourful too. Under the right light conditions the blue-spot ray's blue patches are almost hypnotic. I love them.

Can't wait for Come see my talk at 9:30am on Saturday to learn all about body shape diversification in a dataset of ~6k species of teleost fishes. Also feel free to stop and chat with me about fish, evolution, phylogenetics, etc. throughout the conference.

I went to the aquarium. And now let's all revel in some of the diversity that exists within Teleostei, for I am repenting of my ways and, oh, who knows in what directions our travels may take us.
