Doctorate in Marine Science - love all things goby and coral - Big fan of all things ocean - Fascinated by botany and palaeontology too!
I'm proud to announce that my article - an updated guide to Genus Gobiodon, my favourite Genus of coral dwelling cryptic fish, is now published!
If you would like a copy for your research, please email me at courtneyahildebrandt@gmail.com π
Hoping this can help these little guys get identified!
Hi all!
Little update! For those that have seen my fishy drawings and thought "I'd really like that on some merch.." I have some good news for you!
I have opened a Printify on demand printing pop up for my fishy drawings!

I don't think anything really prepares you for how weird you feel after submitting your thesis π

Scientific poster detailing a study naming two species of cryptic coral reef fish. It includes the methods used and descriptions of the fish.
Want to learn about the two species I recently described and named, but don't have time or want to read a 23 page paper?
Here is a quick little poster version I put together while I was working on it!
Hope you enjoy!

I always find it scary submitting my research for publication to a journal. Regardless, here is a cool snippet of what's to come! π

.....or maybe its just the visual learner in me....
Happy New Year! Looking forward to another year learning about these adorable fish! And trying to post some more as I finish up my PhD thesis in March π

Two stages of writing:
1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no
Let's continue yesterday's monochrome eleganza with this gorgeous Panda coral goby (Paragobiodon lacunicolus). These are without a doubt the classiest coral gobies βΒ all they need is a top hat and monocle π©π§. Unfortunately, as coral specialists, they are seriously threatened by climate change.

I have been working on a professional research website for myself and my projects!
Feel free to check it out and give me any feedback!
Some pages are still a work in progress (e.g. publications and awards)
Thankyou!
