Another #naturalhistory collection may be orphaned.

Merry Christmas everyone! Also, there's still time to apply for a PhD with me and folks at the @nhm-london.bsky.social looking at tiny #fishes from the UK and beyond. Apply for this PhD @sotonoceanearth.bsky.social through www.findaphd.com/phds/project... and join #teamfish

Also, your grant will be rejected on 24/12 (or 12/24 for you weird date people!)

A few different studies, but mainly, putting a load in individual containers with various food items and weighing them and prey over a few months - very little change. The outcome was that they seemed to be scavengers of damaged/unwell mussels which can't close well.

This was the subject of my Honours dissertation. Trying to find out what they eat revealed that they don't eat much!

Jobs, jobs, jobs. Come join us here in Bristol...

True, but it highlights that many people are likely fine with the idea.

Very interesting! In Australia and the the UK I have never had anyone say no when I've cheekily asked to see their successful grant application. Maybe I've just been lucky and asked nice folks. Share people! Everybody wins.

Two phenomenal postdoc opportunities for those wanting to work on tiny (but important!) fishes, and a great team of experts to work with!

🚨New postdoc positions available: we are looking for 2 postdoctoral researchers to join a large, collaborative effort to document, describe, and investigate the biodiversity of tiny, cryptobenthic fishes in the Indo-Pacific 🤏🐠🧪. More details: fishandfunctions.com/join%F0%9F%9...
