Brain morphology mediates cognitive impacts of neuroactive pollution on fish. @monashbiol.bsky.social PhD student @el-moore.bsky.social discusses the results of a project carried out in collaboration with colleagues from @stockholm-uni.bsky.social at #ISBE2026. #BobWongLab
PhD student @gabrielmelhado.bsky.social couldn‘t make it to #ISBE2026 so the wonderful @upama.bsky.social stepped in (🙏) to share the results of Gabe’s work looking at effects of pharmaceutical pollution on sickness behaviour & immunity in Australian rainbowfish. @monashbiol.bsky.social #BobWongLab
Lovely fish dinner with @upama.bsky.social after a wonderful day at #ISBE2026 talking about fish 🐠.
Interplay between resources, body size and neighbours in competition over nesting opportunities in sand gobies. Topi Lehtonen sharing results from our new paper at #ISBE2026 poster session. We dedicate the study to the memory our mentor Prof Kai Lindstrom. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

PhD student @jackmanera.bsky.social from @monashbiol.bsky.social shares results from recent work revealing sex differences in how neuroactive pollution impacts spatial learning in fish. #ISBE2026 #BobWongLab
How does endocrine disrupting pollution impact immunity and reproduction in fish? @upama.bsky.social sharing results from our latest research paper at #ISBE2026. #BobWongLab
Behavioural diversity matters for conservation and management. Great #ISBE2026 talk from @odedberger-tal.bsky.social about our recent Proc B paper—and a reminder of how much fun we had putting that paper together. royalsocietypublishing.org/rspb/article...
Male mate choice robust to effect of low concentrations of pharmaceutical pollution by the contraceptive pill, possibly due to males having higher endogenous estrogen compared to other fish. Talk by @shiho-ozeki.bsky.social about her @monashbiol.bsky.social PhD research. #ISBE2026 #BobWongLab
Native and invasive fish differ in their response to pharmaceutical pollution with consequences for species interactions. Raiko Rafeeq presents the results of her @monashbiol.bsky.social PhD work at #ISBE2026. #BobWongLab
Had an awesome time in Padova at the International Conference of Poeciliid and Goodeid Biologists. A massive thanks to @gilrosenthal.bsky.social for leading the organisation of the meeting and trip down memory lane during the keynote intro 🥰. Next stop: Torino for #ISBE2026!
Reunion of some current and former lab members in Padova ahead of the 12th International Conference of Poeciliid and Goodeid Biologists.
Finishing up my 2.5 year term as Director of Monash's Master of Environment and Sustainability at the end of June. It's been an amazing role getting to work with inspiring students from around the world. A massive thanks to them as well as the wonderful team of Monash educators 🙏
Finishing off the #ASSAB2026 conference in Adelaide on an extreme (sugar) high. Not eating again until #ISBE2026 in Turin.
