It hardly feels real but it’s finally done! Thank you to everyone who came to my defense and all who watched remotely I could never have anticipated there would be so many! What an [adjective] time that was. I couldn’t have asked for better than the @ToBoLab
Please join us THIS Friday (Dec 2nd) for the doctoral dissertation defense of Mykle Hoban (@thefishbotherer) ! The talk will be at 2:30 pm HST in Bilger 150. DM us for more info if you would like to join virtually! Outstanding flyer credit to @ladymisskai 🐟🐡🐠
New #OA paper out! A @JoshuaCopus joint: are #mesophotic reef fish populations older / more stable than shallow? Our phylogeographic survey of deep-reef squirrelfishes & soldierfishes suggests not. mdpi.com/1424-2818/14/8…
National Geographic article about our research published today in Scientific Reports! Climate-resilient #coral species offer hope for the world’s reefs nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar… via @NatGeo #coralreefs #coralbleaching #climatechange @CoralResearch @jtprice01 @ToBoLab @NoahWeisleder
🚨NEW PUB!🚨 Here we explore the link between #coral physiology, the microbiome, and environmental gradients around Oahu, Hawaii! Check it out here: rdcu.be/ct6YU #forthecorals #coralReports #coralreefs @jtprice01 @CoralResearch @mj_wilkins @ToBoLab
A high honor for a former advisor, colleague, and friend at @himb_soest @ToBoLab Newly discovered species of Ehu named after UH biologist hawaii.edu/news/2021/04/1…
New snapper just dropped! And it's named after our own Brian Bowen (the Bo part of the lab name, don't ya know)! Congrats to the coauthors (of whom I think only @irichthyology is on twitter) and to Brian! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jf…
Looks like we need up up our game!
Red Sea fishes are the best. Here's another masked puffer (Arothron diadematus). This one is from Egypt.

We are happy to announce that Elizabeth Monaghan of the @mikerappe lab will be defending her MSc defense at 10 am next Monday, November 9th! Please DM for the Zoom info if you would like to join!
I've stayed mum through #FreshVsSaltyFish so far, but on today's theme of #beauty, I feel compelled to throw up these gorgeous Hawaiian endemics. Chaetodon tinkeri (1) and Pseudanthias hawaiiensis (2,3) are residents of deeper reefs >30m depth and are absolute stunners.

This #AlohaFriday we wanted to commemorate our "Bridge to Nowhere" which is now more like a few steps... This bridge previously was a walkway to a processing building when Moku o Loʻe was a hub for a tuna fishery. Thanks to Chris Suchocki of the @ToBoLab for the shots!
Yesterday on a bay of glass, we were fortunate to catch some of our local mantas (Mobula alfredi) and a large school of ‘ōpelu (Decapterus macarellus) feasting upon the abundant plankton.
New article out from lab member Derek Kraft!
Excitement at the beach house during a past ToBo gathering.

Jack Randall is known as a towering figure in ichthyology, but he was also an early pioneer in field ecology, performing one of the earliest studies using exclusion cages to investigate herbivory: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.23…
