Fish Evolution Lab @Scripps_Ocean @UCSanDiego led by @arciladk and @R_BetancurR. Fish evolutionary biology and phylogenetics.
Very proud of this paper led by @L_DBall where we examine what ‘Unexplored’ means in a natural history context - we recommend ‘biodiversity blindspots’ instead for places that lack digitized public data Video abstract youtu.be/QZ8wUrgJEao Paper here peerj.com/articles/18511/
Scripps Oceanography's Ben @Frable joins the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation to share more about the fascinating deep-sea specimens known as #oarfish, and why they're washing up on California beaches. 📅 July 19 🕙 10 AM 📍 Batiquitos Lagoon Nature Center sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/07/09/com…
Thrilled to share that my grad student @HeipleZach won the 2025 Ernst Myer Award at #Evol2025 for his PhD work on how deep-sea fishes evolved their extreme tubular snouts! 🐡🎉 SSB’s top honor for the most creative student research in systematics @Scripps_Ocean @FishEvoLabSIO ❤️

Our newest scientist spotlight is on Luz F. Jimenez-Segura! Luz studies how environment, climate, and geomorphology affect fish. @UdeA @MincienciasCo @FCENUdeA @ACICTIOS @RedEcoHH @MinAmbienteCo DOI link: doi.org/10.1643/t20241… 50-day free access link: ichthyologyandherpetology.org/ihbjbd/nat2024…
Once again wondering why anyone would ever bother with animals that aren't fish
先日、西伊豆の5mくらいの水深で、数万匹のホシフグの大群に囲まれました。30分以上このフグの群れは続きました。途中、群れから外れて僕の方に寄ってきた1匹のフグが可愛すぎました。 詳しくはここで紹介しています。 youtube.com/live/3Q-YXlPi9… #ホシフグ大量発生 #ホシフグ
Congrats to @Liz_C_Miller for leading this amazing work on deep-sea anglerfishes! 🌊✨ With 1,092 loci & CT scans, we revealed their adaptation from benthic to pelagic habitats—rapid diversification, bigger jaws, smaller eyes, & diverse body shapes. ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4155…
Why do seahorses, goatfishes, dragonets and flying gurnards evolve differently across oceans? 🌏🐟 A new study led by Scripps researchers reveals that colonization dynamics drive the decoupling of species richness and morphological diversity. Dive in: journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73…
🌊 Lead the way in ocean conservation! We're seeking a visionary @calcofi director to oversee the longest-running ocean & living marine resource observation program in the United States. Apply by 11/8 to contribute to advancing knowledge in the field. ⬇️ employment.ucsd.edu/calcofi-direct…
Excited to share our newly published study in @SpringerCORE following fish and coral richness and composition across a year using #eDNA on a model coral reef at Lizard Island, only possible with generous funding from @lirrf. In short, summer is where it's at on the reef!
#Funding opportunity, this time for #ECRs❗ Apply for the #Young #Investigator #Grant on South Atlantic Ocean and Antarctic sciences before the 25th of November 🌊🌊🌊 More info here: buff.ly/3A0pfNK
I'm hiring a coordinator for our #mesophotic Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) program! This exciting new project will generate unprecedented amounts of information about the biodiversity of deep reefs in the Pacific. Spread the word! us242.dayforcehcm.com/CandidatePorta…
