New paper alert on this #MadtomMonday!

Our study examined the genetic diversity of the federally-threatened Neosho #Madtom throughout #NeoshoRiver basin (KS, MO, OK)

Summary: populations fragmented into genetically distinct conservation units because of impoundments

Thanks. I busted out my vintage The Hawk glass and enjoyed a nice Free State beer in it after I received my copy of this book. It was a blast to be involved with that project... collaborate with my advisor and bunch of other Kansas colleagues again.
Check out this great book sale happening at @univpressofkansas.bsky.social. They've published some great books over the years, including a few fish ones...
Check it - A Tomelleri & Troll Fish show is being held at Volland, A Place for Art & Community in the heart of the beautiful Flint Hills in Kansas. Show is part of an event called Fish Wizards: vollandfoundation.org/fish-wizards-2… There are still tickets for Sunday's fish expedition at the creek.

New paper alert!

We evaluated effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding of #FreshwaterMussel communities based on previous conventional sampling methods.

Spoiler: eDNA metabarcoding agreed with conventional surveys but also detected rare species.

If you asked me as a student, I never would have thought I'd collect a holotype

My spirit animal is the Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris)

Ever since my Alaskan days, I have loved the Sea Otter, who just chills all day, swimming around and eating, without a care in the world. Now there is another reason to love them... invasive species control!

New research reveals that damage to these environments is pushing freshwater animals to the edge of extinction, with 24% of species in danger of being wiped out.
A quarter of all freshwater species are at risk of extinction
