We have shirts! For just $30 you can get your hands on one and make all the other labs jealous, PLUS all proceeds go towards funding our research. Just shoot us a message to order. Design by elasmo.com.au. #FishLabInTheWild

@pscarbia new paper out in Animal Cognition today. Males lose their spatial learning abilities while guarding the nest. Use it or loose it! @FishLab_MQ @MQBiology @MQSciEng

Baby PJ #sharks reared under warmer temperatures displayed faster learning than those under current day temperatures but displayed greater mortality.

๐ขโ ๏ธPaper by @pscarbia @CulumBrown shows gobies reared in complex environs (rock/oyster substrate) learn a spatial task faster ๐ than gobies reared in homogeneous environs (seagrass/sand). So beware how you house your #fish! ๐๐ #AnimalWelfare #WomenInSTEM

Many of our members research behaviour in captive animals. Perhaps they will pay extra attention to this article, which shows that captive environmental #enrichment can affect learning ability in gobies:

Quite rare to find an oceanic manta (Mobula birostris) with the drone so I was very excited to film this one barrel-roll and lunge feeding!

PHD THESIS SUBMITTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to everybody who has helped me get here especially @CulumBrown and all in the @FishLab_MQ and @TiffanyJNay.
On a side note.... our submission screen is super anticlimactic... Is it too much to want animated fireworks?

Why do we treat sharks any differently from charismatic mammals? We need to check our moral compasses, well said @catarina_vp! @CulumBrown @seamuseum_ #oceantalks
