This thought from fired biologist Tyler Butts, who was tracking the movement of invasive carp in the river, is sticking with me. “It’s not time to pull back from science… it’s time to invest in it.”

Multiple scientists were fired from the USGS science center in La Crosse, which could hamper research on key Mississippi River issues like invasive carp & habitat restoration. For @journalsentinel + @Report4America: jsonline.com/story/news/2025…

Hello everyone, don't post much on here anymore, but I was recently subject to the mass layoffs of probationary employees this past week at USGS If folks have any open postdoc or other opportunities for someone skilled in #DataScience #FoodWebs and #Ecosystems I'm interested!

We've been seeing some pink spiny water flea pop up in Lake Mendota (not all, usually just 1 -5 amidst normal spinies) and I'm not sure what might be the cause... Carotenoids from a change in diet? Spirobacillus @duffy_ma ? Something else? Send your idea! Detailed photos in 🧵

🚨New #preprint 🚨 Many #ecology #limnology #oceanography researchers and managers talk about "Trophic State". It's how we classify systems. But there are SO many ways to classify TS that we might be skewing our understanding of ecosystem productivity. eartharxiv.org/repository/vi…

Congrats @wilkes_lexi - @CUArtsSciences undergrad superstar who published her senior thesis in @GlobalChangeBio !
Ecosystem services are more vulnerable to climate driven extinctions than the food webs they arise from! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Awesome new piece from @wilkes_lexi (my kickass student) from her time in @LauraEllenDee's lab working w/ @AislynAKeyes, @algaebarnacle , & Dana Morton
