Watch as this #brushleggedmayfly uses their long setae on their front legs to filter food from the water #Ephemeroptera #Isonychiidae #Isonychia

Major shout out to @DrFluvial for leading this global synthesis of the energy exchange between organisms in forests and streams, aka “allochthony”. 🍂🐟🕷️Read more about it here: https://t.co/W3aXjfibt5

[Daniel Allen @DrFluvial]

Check out our new paper in @Ecology_Letters, where we synthesize all the data we could find across the world on allochthony ... what portion of an organisms diet is derived from another ecosystem ... in studies of stream and riparian food webs.

My lab is still recruiting students for the funded QuEST & Iceland projects! Please share with students who might be interested 😊💧

A quick share of our new preprint on the phylogeny of caddisflies before I tune out for the holidays. I’ve worked on this off and on for the last decade so I’m excited for it to finally see the light of day as a preprint! https://t.co/JxjF8rwaVK

Sure sign the invasive Quagga mussel is impacting the aquatic ecosystem. Here the larvae of case bearing caddis flies include Quagga shells in the case built to protect them from predators.

@jonsweetman and I are recruiting a grad student interested in stream restoration ecology to begin in 2024. See details below, and if you are interested complete this form: https://t.co/J0l8qeU08j. @PSUecosystems @huckinstitutes. Please RT!

Unfortunately, miss Jackson we are for real. This "tree stand" was discovered on public land in McIntosh Co. by Warden Rowland. Not only is this EXTREMELY NOT SAFE, it is EXTREMELY NOT LEGAL.
IT WAS HELD IN BY FOUR SMALL SCREWS.

Major shoutout to @climateflows for leading this!

Last sampling season for @StreamCLIMES with @climateflows and @MeganMalish !

Watch as a case-making caddisfly larva decides whether or not to add a piece of plant material to their existing case #Trichoptera #Phryganeidae #caddisfly #macroinvertebrate #aquatic

[Kierstyn Higgins @HigginsKierstyn]

These have got to be my favorite Coleopterans. Larva is on the left and adult on the right. Such a cool transformation! #Coleoptera #Hapliplidae #Peltodytes @StreamCLIMES
