Why do #fish swim in #schools? A🧵and new hypothesis. Schooling could help fish avoid predators, navigate, communicate, find mates and food, and save energy. Here we propose and test a new hypothesis: tinyurl.com/yc764d74

Last call for Summer 2024 Accessible Sharks applications! Due this Friday January 19! Please reach out with questions and share widely. :)

Accessible Sharks Summer Undergrad Research Program is running in 2024. Unique research opportunity for disabled undergraduates interested in sharks, paleobiology, developmental biology, and bio-inspired design. Apps due Jan 19. #NSFFunded #DisabledInSTEM accessiblesharks.wordpress.com



The shark #denticle #multiverse will be on display at #sicb2024 this week. See talks in the @SICB_DCB_DVM sessions. So much diversity, so little time ... below the #ontogeny of sleeper shark denticles from Vaz et al. 2023: mdpi.com/1424-2818/15/1…

Getting ready for #SICB2024, and all things #shark skin! Testing patches of skin to measure the shear stress (friction) of water moving over the skin, and how #denticle orientation alters flow patterns.

In the commentary published in @J_Exp_Biol , @georgelauder and I asked one question: Why do vertebrates often move as a collective group? A thread 🧵

In their Commentary article @TheYangfanZHANG & George Lauder discuss how little we know about the energetic cost of moving as a group compared with that of solitary locomotion, given that moving in flocks, shoals and herds is ubiquitous among vertebrates journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

Very excited to see our Commentary in JEB out on the promise and challenges of quantifying the energetic cost of collective movement with @TheYangfanZHANG
