#Southernflounder is an important food #fish, but #fishfarms need to capture wild males each year for breeding, which is unsustainable. To eliminate the need for wild fish, #scientists @TAMU created an all-female #flounder population. Read more: https://t.co/6aGcBdqnll @USDA_NIFA

One of the most common problems #livestock managers deal with is having too many animals on the land. Being overstocked beyond what the land can handle may lead to overgrazing, resulting in issues. GrazingCalc helps calculate a correct #stocking rate.

New home! We just released 37 horned lizard hatchlings into a field full of harvester ants, their favorite food. We’re tracking their movement to better understand how we can restore this threatened #Texas species.
