Round 3 of 5-day spawning experiments testing habitat limitations on fantail darters done. So far, 15 spawning pairs have decided their habitats were not too dirty to get down in. Starting Round 4 tomorrow.
@FloridaMuseum@floralfossa Congratulations guys! That was a labor of love. You may call it something other than love though haha. Excited to get my copy!

Rebooting spawning field experiments in the lab this spring. VT IACUC inspected lab today. One step closer to testing effects of sediment pollution on darter reproduction! @globalchangevt@vt_fishwild@afsvirginiatech
Traveled to DC recently for a closer look at science and policy interacting with @igc_vt. We need people who can translate research results to decision-makers! What a valuable experience. Thanks @globalchangevt. @VT_Science

Finished fall surveys for young darters in Copper Creek last week. Check out the #rivermonster caught at the final site. Quite likely the VA record for largest greenside darter ever captured at 122 mm long (SL). Photo credit: @Mohsin_A_Kazmi
Of course, stable #global#carbonemissions were too good to be true. Combating climate change is an uphill battle. Let's keep our eyes on the prize. https://t.co/DrR9Isyo33
