ConGARtulations @Wrightfish on successfully defending her master’s thesis!!!

Her research takes a large-scale approach to Alligator Gar life history and ecology with important management implications!

GenSea shows kids job possibilities in the blue! Thanks to @Wormy_Sturgeon for showing us the way!

Here we go!

Check it out! @Wrightfish & @TPWDnews team’s hybrid gar catch featured in story @HoustonChron!

“Student catches one of the rarest gar in the country from Texas river” https://t.co/aEcUzS2frT

[Dr. Solomon David @SolomonRDavid]

“Kati Wright, a master’s student @NichollsState in Louisiana, hauled a six-foot, alligator-longnose hybrid out of the Trinity River in Texas, an extremely rare find”

Shoutout to hybrid gar caught (and released) by @Wrightfish & @TPWDnews in story @NatGeo! https://t.co/gJ5L9p3wad

[Dr. Solomon David @SolomonRDavid]

“If it all works out, there would be a delicious bit of irony for David, who spends a lot of time trying to change minds about fish that have long been persecuted for being ugly and of no commercial value.”

Thanks @bittelmethis for the story @NatGeo!!! https://t.co/gJ5L9p3wad

Hybrid Gar has entered your timeline…

[Dr. Solomon David @SolomonRDavid]

We chat about @TheGarLab and the importance of native fishes with @JDLauritsen @WCCO CBS News Minnesota!

[Dr. Solomon David @SolomonRDavid]

The tale of a wild hybrid gar and what it tells us about living fossils!

@TheGarLab graduate student @Wrightfish shares her field experience with these rare fish!

It is #InternationalWomensDay2024 and I want to shout out the amazing women scientists that have chosen to work with me. Their hard work and determination make the lab work. @lyssa_pagel @KaseaPrice @m_legrest @sarah_stov28192, Ceci, Lindsay, and alumni @greenbeath @Wrightfish

The two faces of Alligator Gar:
1 Fierce
2 Derp.

*both harmless to humans👍#GarLab

[Chase Brownstein @ChaseBrownstein]

4/13 We had noticed that in contradiction to essentially all other species, the two living genera of gars still hybridize despite diverging in 105 million years ago. These hybrids are near perfect intermediates b/w parental phenotypes!

[Chase Brownstein @ChaseBrownstein]

6/13 This makes gars the oldest wild hybrid cross in eukaryotes by nearly 50 million years. How could barriers to hybrid viability and fertility fail to form over >100 million years?

Alligator Gar says hello!

📸@Wrightfish

[Kati Wright @Wrightfish]

@TheGarLab @Wormy_Sturgeon Coming in at 27 Alligator Gar, 1 hybrid, & 5 Longnose Gar.. I’d say it was a pretty successful trip to the Trinity!

[Kati Wright @Wrightfish]

1st gar of the day fishing with TPWD on the Trinity!

[Kati Wright @Wrightfish]

@TheGarLab Seeing lots of Argulus in the Trinity River and thinking of @Wormy_Sturgeon 🔬
