What fish habitats are in one of the most biologically diverse rivers in the southeastern US? Take a ride down Missouri’s Black River where our research team collected 89 different fish species. @MOfishlab @riverrat090 @cafnr

I know it’s been a while, but with the anniversary of Helene approaching, I’m asking those who still want to support WNC recovery to consider helping our volunteer group in Old Fort.

Each spring, the Cahaba River comes alive with one of the Southeast’s most remarkable blooms. The Cahaba lily thrives in swift, sunlit water, anchoring itself to rocks as it blooms in bright white clusters across the river. Photo by Keith Boseman

Congrats to James Cain, New Mexico CRU, who has been recently named a fellow of The Wildlife Society. James has made research contributions to species such as desert bighorn sheep, mule deer, Mexican wolf, and other ungulates. Congrats James! 🏆 tinyurl.com/5n8j2s8x

Does anyone know if a company that will make stream-side rearing tanks for fish? I’m interested in doing some in-situ toxicology trials using river water, but I don’t know where to start. Has anyone designed these themselves? TIA!

The Oregon CRU is leading efforts to understand critical ecosystems like the Nisqually River Delta in Washington. We used 6 years of data to model how weather and sea-level rise affect water temperatures—key info. for salmon that rely on cool water. tinyurl.com/2cnwsvdb

The Mississippi CRU is working with volunteer anglers to build a one-of-a-kind fisheries database. With more fishing apps available for smart phones and other devices, managers can involve many anglers in data collection. tinyurl.com/5z2jwu3m

I installed 250 ft of native pollinator garden around my house last fall. Now during my morning coffee, I get to watch the Monarchs, swallowtails, & many other butterflies as they fuel up during their migrations ☕️ 🦋 🌼 😎
Mid-August marks the start of fall migration for millions of monarchs! Now through mid-November, these butterflies will travel during the day and roost in trees at night. You may see anywhere from a few to hundreds taking a break along the way. 📷 Mike Budd/USFWS

Also the place where the “Prominence Riverlet Crayfish” was discovered. One of 100 crayfish species found in Alabama 🦞🦞💦
Demopolis, Alabama (Greek for “City of the People”) was founded at the confluence of the Black Warrior River and Tombigbee River by French Bonapartists who fled following Napolean’s exile in an unsuccessful attempt to found a wine and olive colony

As Leader of the North Carolina Coop Unit, I can attest the model is unchanged. We lead high-impact research for our state agency partner on reservoir fisheries, whitetail deer, black bears, elk restoration, alligators, etc, all while training the next generation of biologists
Fam — here’s a nice overview of the 43 nationwide Cooperative Fish & Wildlife Research Units, which have been a lasting model for wildlife research since the 1930s, created by wildlife science pioneers such as Aldo Leopold & Ding Darling. 🐟🦌🦆🦃🦎 Link: wildlifemanagement.institute…
