Thanks Philly for the warm welcome #sfs2024

Excited to share a list of posters & talks led by members of our lab & collaborators at #2024SFS - we're looking forward to reconnecting with & meeting new science friends in Philadelphia next week. Safe travels & see you soon!

Hey #rstats folks. Since the raster package and it’s getData function are no longer maintained by CRAN, how are people working with, say, WorldClim data in R now?

I'm still recruiting graduate students to start in August 2024. I'm going to be scheduling interviews soon. Students will have wide latitude to pursue research on systematics, conservation genetics, phylogenetics, and/or taxonomy on freshwater mollusks or fishes.

I can't easily put into words just how proud I am of my team at the Center for Conservation & Research, San Antonio Zoo. We frequently work with subterranean fauna... and another "first-ever" - one of our Oklahoma Cave Crayfish has successfully hatched 50 babies!

@zwculumber This is the one that I struggle with: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pho

I can't be the only one who feels weird saying the word gnocchi....

Please share: I am recruiting a master’s student to sample mussels in tributary systems of the south-central plains ecoregion in Arkansas. Position starts in January (2024)

An absolute legend! I spent 18 months down the hallway from Ets. He was so passionate about fish and caddisflies. And so kind and generous to me as an aspiring fish ecologist. My heart goes out to family and friends. hellbenderpress.org/news/david-etn…

Hey #teamfish is anybody doing modal progression analysis these days? I’ve used FISAT II in the past, but there must be an #rstats package out there.

A brisk and beautiful morning on the Guadalupe River, Kerr County, TX

Traveled to East Texas in search of some fish diversity. Brazos and San Jacinto systems 👇

Please share: I am recruting two M.S. students for two different projects in the Moro Creek watershed. Applications are due by May 1, 2023.

Looks like an awesome symposium! I’ve been dabbling in urban streams in San Antonio, but unfortunately won’t be in GR this year. @AlliVeach and @Jen_A_Smith1 are doing cool urban eco work here too.

Yes! #fairweatherfandom

@zwculumber @cavemander17 Maybe Jonah Hill is available between now and Friday?

@cavemander17 I'd like to see a stat of avg game length over the years separated by those that are or are not on TV (or at least are or are not on major networks). It may be out there, I'm just too lazy because it's a Tuesday that feels like a Friday.

Please retweet: The Aquatic Diversity Lab at Mizzou is hiring summer technicians to work on crayfish and mussel projects. Join us for great fieldwork opportunities! @FMCS_mollusk @CrayfishIAA #crayfish #mussels

The undetectability of global trends on local species richness: our paper out today in @EcographyJourna. I think this settles the so called biodiversity change paradox.

Please RT: PhD opportunity w/ my group studying big-river fishes in tributaries of one of Earth's largest rivers — the Mississippi. Along the way, become an expert in invasion & movement ecology. Applicant review starts ASAP, position starts fall23 or spring 24. #Fishissippi 🐟🚤
