Main content

I presented our latest results on the guppy experiment, from population dynamic to maturation and behaviour. The presentation was very well received and got really interesting comments.

It has been a great opportunity to discuss about common research interests with different researchers at the institute. At the Killen’s lab they are interested in how individual differences in energy balance and swimming performance in fish can affect vulnerability to commercial fishing. Check here the great experimental set-up for testing vulnerability to trawl available in their group or read the nice paper from here.
