Did you know that fish blink? Perhaps even for some of the same reasons that humans do! Tune in to this week's episode to hear Zach talk with Drs. Brett Aiello and Tom Stewart about their recent project studying blinking behaviors in Mudskippers. They go into detail about the functional morphology and evolutionary biology of this fascinating and unique behavior.
