Cool description of seven miniature fish species from the Triassic that may be similar to modern day cryptobenthics. Apparently they were all over the Tethys Sea 240 million years ago, measuring in at a whopping 4cm adult body size 🥹 Scale bar in 📷 is 5mm!

We must train specialists in #botany and #zoology — or risk more devastating #extinctions.
Failure to fund #education in #taxonomy could derail efforts to support #conservation in low- and middle-income countries
