New publication alert! I am thrilled to announce that my new paper has just been published, and is open-access! It presents the first survey of variation in much of the cichlid skeleton behind the head. doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.12…
Hey, my new cichlid study is “grand”! Thank you, BDJ!
🐟 The grand cichlid study: based on some 1700 specimens of nearly 400 cichlid species, here's a survey of their postcranial skeletal features doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.12… #osteology #ichthyology #fishes @MichaelKOliver
Wait, @ShopRiteStores, let me get this straight. The unit price of an avocado is $1.50. You’re pricing them at two for $3. And this somehow will save me $1.50? Please explain.
We celebrate #BiodiversityDay by announcing the 5th #CETAF E-SCoRe Award winner: kudos to Nathan Vranken! His research on the Cichlids of Lake Edward earned him the prize of €1,000 + €1,500 for financial support to further study at one of CETAF's member institutes. #taxonomy
Wow, that’s a deal! Two 64-pound packs for under 11 bucks! 🤣
Malawi and Mozambique have many isolated mountaintops with unique endemic animal and plant species. A new ecoregion is being proposed, to improve chances of preserving what’s left. news.mongabay.com/2024/03/new-ec…
It’s a great Greek yogurt, but I wonder…. Would it be okay to yell FA-YEH! In a crowded theater?
Boat Marking to address fishing challenges in Nkhotakota Pact Malawi through Restoring Fisheries for Sustainable Livelihoods (REFRESH), with funding from USAID is doing boat registration and marking exercises in all districts along the Lake Malawi. facebook.com/10006385576645…
My instant thought was “Cool! Trilobite cookies!” A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Who could have guessed that a #secretary in Zomba (#Malawi) would be asked to move back home near #MonkeyBay, become senior chief, and begin a steeply uphill battle to eradicate #childmarriage & promote girls’ & women’s education? And she is succeeding! shinemycrown.com/meet-the-inspi…
New #cichlid research: Joana Meier & colleagues, "Cycles of fusion and fission enabled rapid parallel adaptive radiations in #African cichlids." Free abstract. #LakeVictoria #paywall science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
researchgate.net/publication/37… DOI: 10.3390/d15101053 Today a Perspective paper was published that I coauthored with my European friends and colleagues Ivan Löbl, Bernhard Klausnitzer, and Matthias Hartmann on the current situation of biodiversity science/taxonomy.
The captain of this grotesquely #overloaded boat was arrested when local police saw it on social media. Captain ran boat service on #LakeMalawi between #NkhataBay and #Likoma Island, a distance of 73 km (43.5 mi) over often rough open water. #Malawi malawi24.com/2023/09/23/cap…
#Malawi #Fisheries is waging a steeply uphill battle to discourage purchasing juvenile #Chambo #cichlids, which are widely (illegally) fished to sell as food. These species are heading toward extinction. #kasawala malawi24.com/2023/09/13/mal…
New #cichlid research!
New paper: River-to-lake transitions in cichlid fishes result in rapid phenotypic evolution, but not necessarily different (or novel) phenotypes academic.oup.com/evolut/advance…
What the heck brand of computer is a dy? Did they mean diy? Oh.

I’m probably the last to discover that the US Postal Service has issued these gorgeous commemorative stamps of “Endangered Species.” (At least a couple are really just endangered subspecies — San Francisco garter snake; Mexican gray wolf.) Including two US freshwater fishes!
