The Diversity of Fishes

The Diversity of Fishes

Why are there so many species of fishes? What is the "freshwater fish paradox"? Why and how do fishes speciate?
And.. what is a fish?!
​
I am so excited to start teaching the course The Diversity of Fishes to educators as part of The American Museum of Natural History's Seminars on Science course. 
Growing up near the river Sabarmati and now living by the Hudson River, I have always been fascinated by bodies of water, the diversity of lives they enable, and the impact they have on ecosystems.
 I look forward to learning more and sharing!
