Polypterus: so many #finlets … so little known about their locomotor function. And auto-tracking multiple finlets during a variety of locomotor behaviors is not easy! Talk by Zane Wolf (@inzaneresearch) at #SICB2021 here: https://bit.ly/3iZMCdg #fishsci @SICB_DCB_DVM
Batrachoidiform #fish reproduce in the rocky intertidal and have large benthic eggs. How does this alter skeletal development in the head? Talk by Diego Vaz (@dfbvaz) EO Wilson Postdoc @Harvard at the #SICB2021 meeting here: https://bit.ly/2MhTOpk #fishsci @SICB_DCB_DVM
How does the fibrosis response to parasites affect the escape response in #stickleback fishes? @Orang_Hutan_ with @DanielBolnick lab has shown the effects of fibrosis on body stiffness. Our talk at #SICB2021 here: https://bit.ly/3qtVsCG #fishsci #locomotion @SICB_DCB_DVM
Can fish save energy when #swimming in oscillatory flows with increased velocity? Experiments using our robotic flapper by @rthandiackal show that even in a thrust wake trout alter body kinematics to reduce cost. Talk at #SICB2021… more to come! @SICB_DCB_DVM #fishsci
#Shark skin #denticles are remarkably diverse, but the external skin between gill slits shows a new pattern. @molly_gabler shows a dramatic transition in denticle shape within a few mm in her #SICB2021 talk. #fishsci #sharks #SharkScience @SICB_DCB_DVM
Studying acceleration from rest in live fishes is hard! @rthandiackal, Carl White in @BIERLABS1 at UVA, and I used a fish robot to generate accelerations and quantify power used and water flow dynamics. Talk @SICB2021. #fishsci #locomotion #hydrodynamics #SICB2021 @SICB_DCB_DVM
If you are interested in shark skin, fish robotics (3 talks), fish schooling (3 talks), fish finlets, and even stickleback parasites, check out the talks upcoming at the virtual #SICB2021 meetings from the @georgelauder lab and collaborators. #fishsci #sharkskin @SICB_DCB_DVM
Super excited about #SICB2021! If you’re interested in coevolutionary dynamics, plant-animal interactions, chemical or behavioral ecology, and/or bats, check out our talk in Session 110: (Un)Correlated Evolution👇🏼 🌱🦇
Proposing something 16 months ahead of time is a PR and an affront to my personal procrastination efforts @colleenecology @MeKernbach @SICBtweets #SICB2021
