🦈 #Postdoc opportunity

We are collaborating with @NBFurey to offer a position to analyze movement data in a number of tagged species from the #ChesBay.

"The team’s modeling experiments show that almost 90% of Bay warming is driven by atmospheric effects—warming air temperatures and the increase in heat energy emitted back to the Earth from the atmosphere due to greater concentrations of greenhouse gases."

Ryukyu Kajika Frog is the @AmphibiaWeb species of the week!

Features my recent study with @XEBernal examining the functions of synchronized mating calls in these incredible animals.

[AmphibiaWeb- we're on @amphibiaweb.bsky.social @AmphibiaWeb]

Synchronized songs - Like other species, Japanese Ryukyu Kajika Frog males overlap their mating calls.

Legett et al. (2021) found that females aren't turned off by the
noisy hubbub. The multiple male melody decreases parasite and predator risk.

Warm temps this week have put #riverherring season round 2 into full swing. Check out this clip of river herring, likely blueback herring, spawning at our downstream antenna. We tagged 100 fish this week and hope to track them as they move upstream and past old #BloedeDam.

[SERC Fisheries Conservation Lab @SERCfisheries]

Beautiful day to wrap up @HDLegett temperature logger deployments! We are monitoring water temperature in 3 major #chesbay tributaries (Patapsco, Choptank, Rappahannock) this spring during the #riverherring spawning run. #fieldwork

@Torsay @ASNAmNat @XEBernal @cthemingway12 I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was really neat reading your comments in the article.

The media attention has been a nice bookend to my grad school journey.
