Cave Flatworm (Sphalloplana percoeca), Madison County, Alabama, USA. Feb 2024.
Subterranean flatworms are relatives of the planaria you may have dissected in a high school or college biology lab. Most species are depigmented, lack eyespots, and seldom longer than 20 mm.

The lab was in FL this week for cave crayfish and salamander surveys with an awesome group of Karst Underwater Research divers. We are collecting tissue, swabs, and eDNA samples to better understand the health and relationships among populations.

The 3-year old taking photos of Sandhill Cranes at Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge this afternoon. If you look close you can see some cranes in the distance. Many more to arrive soon.

My favorite fish, the Southern Cavefish (Typhlichthys subterraneus). This species represents a complex of morphologically similar but genetically distinct lineages that await description.

Oh hello. Nice to see you here. I’m a professional ecologist who studies the ecology, evolution, and conservation of cave life, amphibians, and reptiles. I also have a passion for wildlife and nature photography and natural history outreach.

New bird for me in 2024. Gray Kingbird from Dauphin Island, Alabama. This large flycatcher has a limited range in the southeastern US.
