Amblema elliottii is a freshwater mussel in the family Unionidae only found in Alabama. The genus Amblema was once in the Black Warrior, but has not been seen alive for decades. Sequencing the genome of Amblema elliottii will aid its conservation. Vote: https://t.co/dI87ypC5jG

Enjoyed taking Carla Atkinson‘s UA Freshwater Ecology students out on river patrol last week. We talked about Tuscaloosa sewage spills, Nucor Steel, Warrior Asphalt, chemical plants, dams, Hunt Oil Refinery, and much more.
