Next paper from @RKSpinks on effects of parental #thermal experience is out! This #experiment breaks down the influence of mothers & fathers and timing of #warming to offspring traits. #fishsci #plasticity #reef @ravasi_lab @FishLucre @CoralCoE @JCUMARFU onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
Parents exposed to warming produce offspring lower in weight and condition

Parents exposed to warming produce offspring lower in weight and condition

Our study teases apart the timing of maternal and paternal non-genetic contributions to offspring phenotype in response to warming in a coral reef fish. We found offspring were lower in body weight...

Controlled sex feminization in #barramundi achieved 🥂🍾 This is bringing us one step closer to same-generation mating, and ultimately boost selective breeding programs in #AUS #aquaculture 🙌🏼 More to come!!! 🐟 – at Townsville, Queensland
