Reposted by Casey LabJordan Casey @jordancasey.bsky.social · 22/02/2024New publication led by 🌟 undergrad Ariel Wang: doi.org/10.1007/s003... We investigate Risor ruber, the tusked goby, a tiny sponge-dwelling fish. Across the Caribbean, we find seven distinct genetic lineages within Risor and discover that two Risor lineages specialize on a single sponge host! 0115
