    Greenland sharks have an incredibly slow metabolism, running 8 times slower than the most sluggish bull sharks, but the lethargic animals can keep going for lengthy periods on meagre portions. A 224kg shark only needs 164–193g of fish a day to keep going journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

    Fish with swimbladders should not descend below 7200m, so when @Hadalbloke & @DrToddBond spotted a macrourid at 7259m, they knew it was miraculous. With Imantes Priede they reveal that a 1kg fish's swimbladder could hold 37.9g oxygen for buoyancy 🧵1/2 journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…

    Catch this JEB sponsored #BigBiology Podcast where Art and Marty talk to @HolliePutnam about the causes of coral bleaching and the basic biology of corals in the hope of selectively breeding corals that can better tolerate future ocean conditions bit.ly/3cwO6Kr

    Mexican fruit flies wave their wings at predators, but why? @dineshraov and colleagues have discovered that the movement camouflages the insect by making it vanish in a blur in the eyes of spiders, causing the arachnid to hesitate so the fly can escape bit.ly/3BRLxyW

    Tiny D. cerebrum produce super-loud clicks and now Antonia Groneberg @benjulab & co reveal how the cartilage hammers that hit the swim bladder develop. In addition, even 6-week-old fish click at full speed; they don't need to practice journals.biologists.com/jeb/article/22…
    A photo of a transparent male Danionella cerebrum showing the swim bladders (silver structures in the middle of the body) that produce the clicks when the hammers impact then and the muscles (yellow), around the top of the front swim bladder, that drive the hammer impacts.
