1/10🚨🚨 New paper out 🚨🚨 I am beyond excited to present our new paper out now in @Nature! Here, we show that rapid gain and loss of tooth complexity accelerates diversification in fishes! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Super excited that our new paper is out today in @pnas. Title: Lateral jaw motion in fish expands the functional repertoire of vertebrates and underpins the success of a dominant herbivore lineage. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

‼️ATTENTION‼️ Our 2025 application for our virtual #Evolution & #Ecology #Graduate #School Preview Program is live! Please refer to our website (link in bio) for more information We especially encourage individuals from historically excluded groups to apply!🎉

Interested in applying to evolution or ecology focused grad school programs, but not sure where to start?! Check out the E&E Grad School Preview Program to demystify grad school! Applications have JUST opened!!!

Taking tissues from specimens with a lot of interest from the local community. Great opportunity to talk about what we are doing and why these fishes and macroinvertebrates are important.

Come join us. Three permanent academic positions (Lecturer/Senior Lecturer) at @MonashBiol. Supportive research and teaching environment. Fantastic colleagues. A great place to work. youtube.com/watch?v=HvHZFR… Ecology: careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/… Genomics: careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/job/…

Out today in @PLOSBiology! We show that two major advances in fish feeding - highly protrusible jaws and large teeth - are functionally and evolutionarily incompatible with each other. @MikeMihalitsis and Peter Wainwright. Free to read: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Happy to share my new article on how morphological diversification proceeds during evolutionary radiations: "The diffused evolutionary dynamics of morphological novelty" pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 🧵1/12

Happy to share our new preprint: `The rise, decline and fall of clades' with @JyAndreoletti, Daniele Silvestro and @HMorlon , where we study how the biodiversity of clades rise and fall, and the processes behind these patterns. 1/5 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Happy to share our new study published today at Proceedings B! 🐊 @RSocPublishing @SebastianHoehna 📝 “The effects of cryptic diversity on diversification dynamics analyses in Crocodylia” royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… #crocodylian #species #macroevolution 🧵 (1/7)

🐟✨ Unbelievable Moment! ✨🌍 As we pulled the net from Lake Victoria, I knew—we found something special! I shouted & showed it to @OleSeehausen. His reaction? "This is unbelievable, Anna!! Lipochromis microdon!" Once thought extinct, now rediscovered! 🔬💙#Conservation
