Great work by @Alexvn leading this thorough evaluation of ichthyoplankton metabarcoding as a tool for detecting at-risk and invasive species in the #LaurentianGreatLakes. Research supported by @DFO_Science, @UTSC. Check out the #openaccess paper here:

Excited to share MBE's first Highlight! Learn how Antarctic icefishes have adapted to see under the ice -- Looking through the Ice: Cold-Adapted Vision in Antarctic Icefish buff.ly/3KCxWPo @giannicast @EvolutionVU @opsinlab @franceshauser @alexvn @UofTCellSysBiol
ALT Cover of Molecular Biology and Evolution with an drawing of two fish under the ice in Antarctica. Hanging over the fish are fish hooks that are connected to each other to look like a phylogenetic tree. There is also a folded protein and a graph showing the absorption wavelength of the opsin proteins in the fish eye.

The deepwater sculpin thrives in deep lakes and cold temperatures. @UTSC researchers are now sequencing its genome to unravel the genetic secrets of this iconic Canadian fish. Check out our latest story written by @ThomLundy.
