These folks represent a critical step in natural resource conservation and need to remain funded!

It is always an honor to see the smallest endangered species that is listed. The Tumbling Creek Cavesnail (Antrobia culveri) is found only in one cave and the largest adults tend to be around 2mm.

Early career ecologists: take it easy on your joints. Recovering from shoulder surgery is really tough/painful. Know your limits and don’t push it. You have a long career ahead of you!

This was a fascinating presentation on allopatry, vicariance, dispersal, geomorphology, and their influence on darter evolution. Would be a great supplement to any evolution course discussing these topics. Highly recommend!

On Tuesday I had the privilege to present on online talk in the NOAA seminar series. This talk focuses on my research group's work on allopatric speciation in North American freshwater fishes.

Most snowy owls that visit Mo. are juveniles that may fly south due to a lack of space for territories after breeding season; these younger owls have extensive black barring on their otherwise white body and head, like this one seen yesterday in northern Mo!

My student Griffin just sent me this profoundly sad photo of a Great Bowerbird bower. The painting on the right depicts what the bower should look like, filled with pebbles, shells, and bones. Nowadays, the birds use what they can most easily find in their surroundings: garbage.

ALT Region covered by the 8th edition of Common and Scientific Names of Fishes from the United States, Canada, and Mexico prepared by the American Fisheries Society/American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists (AFS/ASIH) Committee on Names of Fishes. Canada, the USA, and Mexico and their respective exclusive economic zones (EEZs) are shown. Note that Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and other territories outside of continental North America are not included in the list. Dashed lines indicate the ocean boundaries. (A) Species richness, showing the number of marine versus freshwater species in each country (darker tones represent marine species). (B) Species richness by habitat (freshwater in orange, marine in blue). (C) Number of introduced and extinct species in each country.
