Our ALUS project for Martial Gooselin demonstrates the importance of providing buffers along rivers, creeks, streams, and drains. Projects like this one reduce sedimentation and nutrient uptake to our waterways while compensating farmers for taking this land out of production.

73 of 80 acoustic tags now swimming in Smoke Lk. We're underway for the next 5 years... Canoe / Tea Lks next year. Winter in water & connected lake systems.

Male squash #bees were both more frequently & consistently seen visiting crop flowers than females. Peak activity of squash🐝s & #bumblebees coincided with the daily crop pollination window, whereas peak activity of honey bees & other wild bees occurred later #Pollinators 🎃🐝

We do aquatic research on lakes that inspire @AlgonquinPark. Smoke, Canoe & Tea Lakes
Now we begin a 5 year project on fish movement and food webs in these lakes using a large VPS array. Smoke Lk is ready...

Diverse, freshwater fish are critical for societies, economies and ecosystems - but they are undervalued and under threat. This report from organizations including @WWF and @Global_Wildlife explains why we must act now to save them:

It begins.... more coming on a new multi-year acoustic tracking study. About 20% of receivers in prep
