Had to wait until the last day to share what an amazing time I had in Brazil 🇧🇷Work trips are great, but they’re even better when you’re home. Two months filled with learning, connections, happiness, and a perfect balance of work and family 💙🐠🤿

Blennies may provide key food web links between detritus, inverts, & algae they consume & bigger fish that eat them! I had a great time sharing my work on what stable isotopes & DNA metabarcoding can reveal about their trophic roles at the Texas Bays & Estuaries Mtg! @UTMSI

So happy to have been awarded the Clark Hubbs Scholarship from @TCAFS for my eDNA/eRNA chapter on the southern flounder! 🧬 And even happier to celebrate this feeling with @ScubaMelman - which is doing an incredible work on Texas blennies 🐠 @UTMSI @TheCaseyLab @AmFisheriesSoc

Global mesozooplankton communities show lower connectivity in deep oceanic layers

Mesozooplankton is a key component of the ocean, regulating global processes such as the carbon pump, and ensuring energy transfer from lower to higher trophic levels. Yet, knowledge on mesozooplan...

FINALLY got this work published 🥳 Ever wondered if we can use dust to see were a person has travelled?? We used eDNA and geochemistry signals from dust to find this out! Thank you to our project funders @DIP_SouthAust sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Rodnyel Arosemena López and I have had a busy week in Bocas del Toro, Panamá studying how reef degradation influences the roles of parrotfishes on coral reefs! Fieldwork is going swimmingly! #postcardsfromthefield #fieldwork #marinescience #coralreefs @TheCaseyLab @stri_panama
A three-part photos shows gray-colored parrotfishes swimming over a reef, a woman sampling sediment from a coral reef, and a man preparing to spearfish fishes for scientific research (with appropriate permits).
