1/2 The Canada Nature Fund for Aquatic Species at Risk (CNFASAR) has identified a list of priority places across Canada and the threats their aquatic species at risk encounter.
📢We’re looking for project proposals to help support the recovery of these species at risk.

Excited to share MBE's first Highlight! Learn how Antarctic icefishes have adapted to see under the ice -- Looking through the Ice: Cold-Adapted Vision in Antarctic Icefish buff.ly/3KCxWPo @giannicast @EvolutionVU @opsinlab @franceshauser @alexvn @UofTCellSysBiol
ALT Cover of Molecular Biology and Evolution with an drawing of two fish under the ice in Antarctica. Hanging over the fish are fish hooks that are connected to each other to look like a phylogenetic tree. There is also a folded protein and a graph showing the absorption wavelength of the opsin proteins in the fish eye.

Having a great time so far at #JASM22! I will be presenting a talk this Thursday about how managers and the public talk about AIS management! See you there!

When we pay grad students & postdocs low wages, we are selecting for people who can survive in these situations (and we know it isn't a random selection of the popl'tn). We lose all the brilliant people who cannot afford to live paycheck to paycheck for years

This is such cool research done by @Alexvn in the Lovejoy and Mandrak labs @UTSC! Give it a read #biodiversity #canada150 #conservation #speciesatrisk
The deepwater sculpin thrives in deep lakes and cold temperatures. @UTSC researchers are now sequencing its genome to unravel the genetic secrets of this iconic Canadian fish. Check out our latest story written by @ThomLundy.
