This week Davide and Shaun headed to the International Congress on the Biology of Fishes. It was a week full of fantastic talks and meetups with great friends.
Extremely blurry photo of Shaun talking about digestive costs and positioning of fish within schools.
David McKenzie talking about our work on air-breathing fish in Brazil.
Earlier this month several members of the lab converged on Florence, Italy, for the annual meeting of the Society for Experimental Biology. As always with the SEB, it was an incredibly fun conference packed with amazing and inspiring talks.
Lucy Cotgrove talking about the effects of metabolism and temperature on behaviour of fish schools.
Marion Claireaux discussing the work she did in our lab on how metabolism affects group behaviour and how this varies with group size.
Jolle Jolles talking about the integration of physiology and behaviour in the study of collective animal behaviour.
Davide Thambithurai talking about how hypoxia may affect capture vulnerability in fish.
Daphne Cortese on how female size affects offspring quality in clownfish around Moorea.
Jack Hollins discusses his work looking at how temperature affects vulnerability to capture in fish and links with metabolic traits.
Julie Nati talking about how variation in thermal sensitivity within species varies with latitude.
Marie Levet with her poster on how boat noise affects fish metabolic rate.
Mustafa Soganci with his poster on how hypoxia affects fish schooling behaviour.
Anna Persson presenting her poster on her honours project which looked at diurnal variation in coral reef fish.
Steph McLean presenting her poster on how digestive costs affect schooling behaviour in fish.
Luca Pettinau presenting his poster on how metabolic rates affects assortment within fish schools.
Off all the bars in Florence, of course we find the one Scottish pub.
Hi-jinks at the conference banquet.
At the Euro Evo Devo conference in Galway, Ireland (26-29 of June), Tiff gave an oral presentation on how maternal mouthbrooding contributes to the development of craniofacial shape in four species of African cichlids. Despite some technical difficulties (her talk got lost!), and some intense heat, the talk went over well and she received some useful suggestions for future analysis.
Last week Shaun was in Bergen, Norway, for a meeting of collaborators and consultants on the ConEvolHer Project, coordinated by Katja Enberg. It was an incredibly stimulating week of science with some fantastic people. Thank you Katja and lab for organising such a great meeting!
This week Anita Racz traveled to here native Hungary to attend the 10th Annual European Zebrafish Meeting. There she presented her poster on a project carried out by herself and Toni Dwyer examining the effectiveness of various disinfectant methods for zebrafish eggs. Well done Anita!
