ALT Location, timing, and methods of emergent insect sampling. (A) Location, fish status, and relative water temperature of six study lakes along an elevation gradient in the central Sierra Nevada. (B) Bathymetric map of one study lake (cold, with fish) and approximate distribution of emergence traps in the littoral zone. (C) Image of the floating traps (area 0.27 m2) used to capture insects from the littoral zone of each lake. (D) Water temperatures recorded in the epilimnion of each lake over the course of 2019 and 2021 sampling periods (lines), along with the dates at which samples were collected from each lake (circles). Blue boxes show the approximate dates in each year when the study lakes became ice-free.

ALT Screenshot of page 7 of the Cal-SFS newsletter, linked in this tweet. It reads: " The California Chapter of SFS (Cal-SFS) has made three awards ($2,000 ea.) available to support the travel expenses of undergraduate or graduate students presenting at the 2023 SFS annual meeting in Brisbane, Australia. Awarded funds may be used to cover the costs of transportation, lodging, and/or registration. If the student is not yet a member of SFS and the California Chapter, a portion of the travel grant should be used to cover the cost of membership. Cal-SFS is supporting student travel to the 2023 SFS meeting in Brisbane, Australia in order to provide funding to students who otherwise would not be able to attend, and for whom not attending the meeting would be detrimental to their academic or professional development. "
