More cool #teleost work!
Check out my new paper with @laimosemion.bsky.social on gill parasite infection patterns in darters of Tennessee! Larger darters tend to be more infected, some taxa are more heavily infected than others, and parasite burden strongly varies by season. #fishsky
Body size, season, and host taxon predict patterns of monogenean gill parasite infection in two assemblages of darters (Percidae: Etheostomatini) in Tennessee
Parasites are an important component of freshwater ecosystems due to the ways they regulate energy flow and shape community structure. The goal of this study was to analyze infection patterns of mo...

• Stress reducing effects of NACA only seen in fish w/ reactive stress coping style.
• Important to account for consistent individual differences when predicting response to antioxidant interventions in stress.

The overall embryo was ~16-fold expanded via ChromExM, the display shows a *single* nucleus, though. Experiments, data, and analysis from our @mofrawe.bsky.social
