I’m gonna work from home to write

Me all day:

José ‘Tosti’ Sánchez-Ruiz was one of the brightest, most giving, and sweet folks in our @BenthosNews / @macrolatinos families — so awful to learn that his life was cut short by a car accident this week.

We should celebrate and honor his life at SFS 2024 and beyond.

We now have a first record of the #invasive asexual Marbled #crayfish in the wild in Canada and North America. If you have these crayfish as a pet DO NOT release them in the wild! (PS: they are banned in the provinces of Ontario and Saskatchewan!) (photos P. Hamr)@CrayfishIAA

Getting distracted by the bounties of Appalachia while scouting for field sites

Triops! That is all.

Exploring the source of Thunder River (steepest river in the country, dropping 1,200 feet in a half mile!), a spring deep in a Limestone cave along the north rim of the Grand Canyon. Really doesn’t get much better than this 🥰

[Brian Bush @brianbush98]

Sometimes, a staunch refusal to wear waders when not electroshocking has its low points. Mine occurred in this 5.9 C stream I spent 6 hours sampling.

Finally made it through @NHMU in SLC today… top tier natural history content 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[Brian Bush @brianbush98]

Don’t knock scrubbing periphyton until you’ve tried it… probably the most relaxing field work you can do. I spent 2 different field seasons carrying toothbrushes with me all over Ohio 😅

[Brian Bush @brianbush98]

I understand the intended audience is for fire personnel working here, but the commodification of a natural disaster right next to an evacuation shelter seems… very on brand for the state of the world right now

Central Idaho, where the stoneflies are thick as weeds 😍

Overheard someone say, “You don’t have to worry about dressing up for your presentation, I mean, some guys will be presenting with sandals on”. Feeling attacked #JASM2022

This tenacious little guy just wants to enjoy some sunshine

[Lydia Jennings, Ph.D. @1NativeSoilNerd]

Monday I ran #Boston126 on the 50th anniversary of women running the Boston Marathon. Because this is a once in a lifetime event for me (I'm a trail runner at heart!), I dedicated my run to highlighting examples of #landback. 🧵

[University of Alabama Press @UnivofALPress]

Whether you call them crayfishes, crawfishes, crawdads, mudbugs, ditchbugs, yabbies, or flusskrebs, you'll want to get your claws on this book!

CRAYFISHES OF ALABAMA by @crayfishguenter, Christopher Taylor, and Stuart McGregor is officially out today!

Some assorted crays for #NationalCrawfishDay. I propose pinkies out for photo ops from here on out!

[Brian Bush @brianbush98]

@EcoAndy3 I don’t wanna live in a world where this is unacceptable

[SHOAL @Shoal_Org]

2⃣1⃣2⃣ species of freshwater fish were newly identified last year, including this brightly coloured goby from Okinawa, Japan 🇯🇵

Shoal today release a landmark New Species 2021 report detailing this guy, a fish called Wolverine, and much more.. Read on!👇

Some interesting sclerotization going on here with this P. lunzi… hard to see over the scope but those gonopods almost look black to the naked eye (and did so before it was pickled)
