Citizen scientists at REEF spotted a fish species previously undocumented in the Salish Sea, the Striped Kelpfish. A new paper describes this and other sightings made by volunteer divers. https://t.co/vRMDzNIgIH @SeaDocSociety

Quite ironic to be openly proud of a paper on the importance of intellectual humility, but I’m actually really happy that this paper @siminevazire and I have been working on for a while is finally out. It can be found here: https://t.co/L5bOnPjB2a. 1/4

Congratulations Lizzy Ashley @ecologgerhead on a summer of science and great work on the always fascinating sea otter with Drs Megan Moriarty and Melissa Miller - hope you stay curious and come back to us with more research questions! @EpiCenterUCD

[Lizzy Ashley @ecologgerhead]

@CKreuderJohnson @EpiCenterUCD Ah, this is too kind! Thank you for a really wonderful summer! 🦦

Georgia's sea turtles are famous! From today's @nytimes: https://t.co/2IC69T1JOo

@MaerzLab Bet you can’t wait to come back.

For years, we thought turtle seagrass was pollinated by ocean currents.

But research has shown that zooplankton are "bees of the sea" carrying pollen between plants.

The flowers have even adapted to open up at night when the plankton are most active!

It's that time of year again! The 14th Annual #DayontheLawn featuring the amphibians and reptiles of GA is our course capstone event. Thrilled to have @amphibianfound @OrianneSociety @GeorgiaWild #SandyCreekNatureCenter join us again. Supported by @UGAWarnell @HerpetologyUga

Hey @Kristen_Morrow_ we were neighbors at the Athens Earth Day Festival yesterday 🌿🌊 missed you and enjoyed learning more about @POP_UGA!

My day was more entertaining than yours.

Took a study break to skim through dog-ears in an old favorite, @OshaDavidson’s the Enchanted Braid, and recalled my favorite description of ecology: the difference between chaos and complexity!

[Phil Torres @phil_torres]

A reminder that we live in a world where turtles have tears and butterflies drink them for the salt.
Rainforest ecology is complex, but sometimes the simplicity of a bizarre interaction is just about perfect.

Georgia’s Republican-controlled legislature passed an extreme ban on abortion before many women even know they’re pregnant. Georgia women deserve leadership that will protect and expand their reproductive health care, not undermine their access. #HB481

From swimming scallops to sea spiders the size of a dinner plate, Antarctic’s frigid waters can resemble a coral reef. #Antarctica2020

A fungal disease that afflicts #amphibians has led to the greatest loss of biodiversity ever recorded due to a disease, @CornellEEB researchers report in a paper published in @sciencemagazine. @KZ_Cornell #frogs #biodiversity #conservation #wildlife https://t.co/3QSYZY853V

[UGA New Materials @UGANewMaterials]

Sea turtles are excreting plastics, which could signal tremendous negative implications for the ocean's food web. Read more about our recent study with @LoggerheadMC in the latest issue of Research Magazine. @UGAResearch https://t.co/3T5XHXRNK0

[Hugh Possingham @HugePossum]

Plastic pollution is a problem we must all address, but we should never lose focus on the bigger issues: habitat, climate, soil, nutrients, biodiversity https://t.co/7D9x8MjdNE via @wef
