This research investigates mating behavior in Siamese fighting fish and reveals that visual interaction dramatically increases reproductive success. By studying 203 breeding pairs, the project demonstrates the importance of sight in social and mating behavior, suggesting that betta fish possess more sophisticated visual and individual recognition abilities than previously understood.

This research investigates how the olfactory system of the Spanish ribbed newt adapts between aquatic and terrestrial environments. By analyzing cellular and genetic changes in the nose, the study reveals remarkable sensory plasticity, offering broader insights into nervous system flexibility and potential implications for understanding neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia.

This research investigates whether a population of southern African skinks represents a distinct species using genetic and geographic data. Findings suggest river barriers and environmental gradients may drive speciation. By combining phylogenetics and ecological modeling, the study explores how landscape and climate shape biodiversity and species divergence in lizard populations.
