Behind the Paper: How fluctuating salinity shapes reproductive investments in mosquitofish
1mo ago· 6 min readen
Summary
This 'Behind the Paper' blog post features Upama Aich, a Forrest Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia, discussing her research on how fluctuating salinity affects reproductive investments in mosquitofish. Her paper, published in Functional Ecology, explores how developmental environment and age shape macronutrient allocation to eggs and ejaculates. Aich shares the challenges of conducting biochemical assays with tiny sample volumes and reflects on how birding and butterflying during her undergraduate studies sparked her interest in ecology.
