Check out this cool new work by our very own @carolineroz24 @wwfetzer and others demonstrating that the isotopes in trout eye lenses can be used to determine natal origin! Crazy!!! Published by @AmFisheriesSoc

Interesting paper by David Roon, @ryan_bellmore et al. finding little influence of riparian thinning on upper trophic levels (fish & amphibs) despite influencing lower trophic levels: doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.4219 Makes me wonder how often low-order stream fishes are limited by food?

Proud of this one. Our ultimate goal is to help kill less fish when trying to study how they eat and move (w/ isotopes). And we did it for a bunch of "rough fish"! Key support from two fishy groups: 1) CO/WY AFS Chapter (& @UWyoAFS), 2) North American Native Fish Association.
Could fin tissue samples be a nonlethal alternative to muscle tissue when studying freshwater fish food webs? Find out in this #fintastic new paper in NAJFM by @BryanMaitland buff.ly/3t7dCMh photo credit: FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute @MyFWC

AFS member Will Rosenthal's research highlighted by @WyoBio!
Will Rosenthal is a masters student in the botany department who studies hybridization between native Yellowstone cutthroat trout and introduced rainbow trout near Cody, Wyoming. He is interested in uncovering which aspects of each species might promote or prevent interbreeding.

Hot off the press! Former sub-unit president @evancjbooher and advisor @awaltersWY have a new paper out in the journal Diversity and Distributions: Biotic and abiotic determinants of finescale dace distribution at the southern edge of their range

The authors found significant variation in species-environment relationships among basins, which appeared to be driven by the recency of biological invasions.

While these results can inform targeted management actions, they also highlight the difficulties associated with applying common management strategies over broad spatial extents. @WyoBio @UWyoPiE @WGFD @WesternDivAFS
