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.
Ohhhh my gosh. It’s gonna be a good year! xitter.cf/michaeljaiwhite/status…
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

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
Of course, stable #global #carbonemissions were too good to be true. Combating climate change is an uphill battle. Let's keep our eyes on the prize. nytimes.com/interactive/2017…

LESS forest cover means LESS hellbenders due to decrease in recruitment @cathyjachowski #SEPARC17 #hellbender #herps
Fantail #darters ready to spawn in #NRV. The female (right) was uncomfortably FULL of eggs. #unseasonablywarm @vt_fishwild @globalchangevt

Time to sample fishes in Copper Creek - Clinch River @vt_fishwild @globalchangevt
Getting ready for spawning season. Conducting experiment with fantail #darters on response in reproductive effort to benthic #habitatquality
I'll take u up on borrowing that. Around tomorrow? Ur new name rocks btw. @sturgeonscience looks like I'm steppin up my game
Our cat's been gone for days. Man down the street saw her go into this sewer. Drop trap set. It's a stake out hahaha
Hahaha. Yeah, heard this. Where was he going with this? xitter.cf/JonRothstein/status/84…
