So grateful that our work on the effect of pharmaceutical pollution in fish @animalecology.bsky.social is among top 10 most-cited papers published in 2024. A huge thanks to co-1st author @gio-polverino.bsky.social & all collaborators @bbmwong.bsky.social @monashbiol.bsky.social @ceb-uwa.bsky.social

Nice to see our work featured in The Guardian — showing that sperm quality can decline the longer it is stored. @krishsanghvi11.bsky.social @itchyshin.bsky.social

👀Behind the Paper!👀 @upama.bsky.social shares how fluctuating salinity can leave reproductive signatures in mosquitofish, the challenges of conducting biochemical assays with tiny sample volumes, and how birding and butterflying sparked her interest in ecology!🐟️ Read it here buff.ly/Jk4J26g 🧪🌍️
