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
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 🥰

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

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)
