Round 3 of 5-day spawning experiments testing habitat limitations on fantail darters done. So far, 15 spawning pairs have decided their habitats were not too dirty to get down in. Starting Round 4 tomorrow.

Rebooting spawning field experiments in the lab this spring. VT IACUC inspected lab today. One step closer to testing effects of sediment pollution on darter reproduction! @globalchangevt @vt_fishwild @afsvirginiatech

Traveled to DC recently for a closer look at science and policy interacting with @igc_vt. We need people who can translate research results to decision-makers! What a valuable experience. Thanks @globalchangevt. @VT_Science globalchange.vt.edu/2017/11/…

Finished fall surveys for young darters in Copper Creek last week. Check out the #rivermonster caught at the final site. Quite likely the VA record for largest greenside darter ever captured at 122 mm long (SL). Photo credit: @Mohsin_A_Kazmi
