Really happy to share I will be joining the Dept. of Anatomical Sciences at Stony Brook University this fall as an assistant professor!!
My lab will focus on ray-finned fish neurocranial evolution, integrating fossils and living species.
DM if you have interest in joining my new research group!
When I finish a museum collection visit:
Ray-finned fishes are famously diverse, but we know little about their brains or cranial endocasts. @rodrigoichthys.bsky.social opens this black box with a dice-CT survey of 86 species across the actinopt tree of life. #OA in @royalsocietypublishing.org 🐟🧠 royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...
Very well-timed publication of my most recent work at @royalsociety.org Proc B showcasing the backbone of my future research at @stonybrooku.bsky.social!
There is still much to learn about ray-finned fish neurocranial evolution and the diversity of ways brain and endocasts interact in this lineage!

I guess close access too… 😅
In a world shaped by climate change and the biodiversity crisis, you're far more likely to actually purchase ocean front property in Arizona from George Strait than resurrect the dodo from extinction
Abstract. Vertebrates are unique among animals as they bear a neurocranium, which almost completely encapsulates the brain. Thus, within vertebrates, the e

Osteichthyans--the bony fishes--are by far the most diverse group of living jawed vertebrates. Two papers out today in @nature.com feature remarkable new Chinese fossils that paint a picture of substantial morphological diversity among stem osteichthyans.
New paper! How weird could Permian animals get? Turns out, pretty weird. Meet the stem tetrapod Tanyka amnicola from the Pedra de Fogo Formation of northeast Brazil
