Did you know stickleback, which can be found in Ontario, are quite romantic?

With OE3C getting closer and it being Valentine's day (although we were a day late...) we thought it would be fun to share a fittingly romantic ethology fact.

Although the throes of winter bring cold winds and snow, spring is just around the corner. That means OE3C is coming soon (April 30th-May 2nd).

Reminder, the topic is "Coexisting with Nature", and the conference will be held in Mackenzie Chown Complex at Brock University.
