AboutIchthyology conducts research, research training and graduate education on the world’s fishes-their global diversity, evolution, geography, genomics, morphology, conservation, ecology, and behavior. These studies are grounded in research collections of 680,000 specimens and their associated data.
Curator Leo Smith focuses on the higher-level relationships of spiny-rayed fishes, the interplay of diversification and character evolution, and the evolution of venom, bioluminescence, and biofluorescence.
