How are structural variations in scales related to different functions in fish?
Dylan Wainwright (@fishwright3) at the department of @PurdueBiolSci Purdue University (@LifeAtPurdue) tackles this & other questions in this new article👉 bit.ly/3XsiGtV

Thankful to share our new #stickyfish paper in @J_Exp_Biol before Twitter explodes! doi.org/10.1242/jeb.244821
@fishwright3 @Fishguy_FHL @Karly_Cohen & I found that the adhesive performance of clingfish, lumpsuckers, and snailfish suction discs reflect their ecologies

Issue 22’s cover image by @jmhuiee shows the fluorescent ventral adhesive disc of a northern clingfish. In the accompanying article, @jmhuiee @fishwright3 @Fishguy_FHL @Karly_Cohen compare the maximum adhesive forces of clingfish, lumpsuckers & snailfish

Why did the earliest plant vascular systems diversify so rapidly? We think they evolved to tolerate drought. We show why xylem connectivity was critical for preventing hydraulic failure. @BoudaLab @WasonLab @KyraPrats @HuggettLab @Medullosa 🧵👇

Dylan Wainwright @fishwright3 is a new professor here @PurdueEEB and is recruiting graduate students and postdocs. He studies connections between form and function in organisms (mostly fishes and sharks) by using 3D imaging, biomechanical testing, and comparative studies. 1/2

The He Lab @heqixinAA investigates infectious disease dynamics by integrating theory & empirical data. We develop new statistical tools to resolve mixed infections and predict when new disease variants would invade local transmissions. Check our website at qixinhe.net

Scales of the redbreast sunfish showing a subtle transition from smooth-edged to spiny-edged. We typically think of these as different scale “types” that occur on different species. #fishes #marinebio

Pleased that our OA paper is out in @iScience_CP "3D visualization processes for recreating and studying organismal form"
We discuss 3D methods for recreating living animals - w/applications for natural history, robotics & more 🦑😁

Please share: I am recruiting two students (Ph.D. or M.S.) and a postdoc (2-years) to start in my lab Fall 2023. My lab studies functional morphology and macroevolution (mostly of fishes)

Scales of a marine angelfish... somehow not very angelic? #fish #biology #ScienceTwitter #marinelife

Funky bumpy smelt scales! Colors are surface topography where red = higher. Taken with @gelsight #fish #research #biology #biomechanics
