How was your bonefishing in 2024? South Florida guides and anglers, please share your insights and invest in the future of the fishery by taking our short, anonymous #bonefish survey before February 1.

Check out our new paper out in @GlobalChangeBio that investigates how large scale habitat loss can decrease trophic function. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Check out our new paper on why you should be using sulfur stable isotopes
I've had a lot of questions about using sulfur isotopes. With awesome collaborators, we brought together all the reasons aquatic scientists should use sulfur isotopes in their studies, paper #OpenAccess @Deakin @BlueCarbonLab @Macquarie_Uni @MEG_MQ

So stoked to have just gotten the formal 'ACCEPTED' email from our latest (and possibly greatest) isotope ecology collaboration. Very excited to share this when it comes out, hopefully it will be helpful to many people!

Coach Saban is the GOAT!! Thanks for believing in a young man from Flint, Michigan. Helped me become a champion on the field, but more importantly a champion in LIFE. Enjoy retirement Coach, you earned that!! Love you Coach Saban, ROLL TIDE!! 🥹🥲
Check out our new manuscript investigating the distribution of pharmaceuticals in bonefish across the Caribbean. Every fish had at least one pharmaceutical and pharma composition varied across regions authors.elsevier.com/c/1iHZM… @FIUEnvironment @bonetarpontrust
PhD opportunities in movement and trophic ecology of recreational fisheries in the Coastal fish and fisheries lab (myweb.fiu.edu/rehagej/)
@FIUEnvironment. Please share and reach out if you have any questions.

NEW PAPER: We modelled the Lake Champlain food web to assess the impacts of alewife invasion based on expectations from the Great Lakes' invasions, and found some interesting contrasts! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

_If_ you have published a study on the trophic discrimination/fractionation/diet shift of sulphur/sulfur stable isotopes please send it to me [email protected]
Am finishing a meta-analysis and hope I have all that can be found, but don't want to miss your work!
Sampling for our #nsfrapid project studying impact of urchin die-off for Caribbean coral reef ecosystems @FIUEnvironment @FIUMarineBio #PuertoRico
New paper introduces conceptual framework for #saltmarsh global comparisons. This framework integrates multiple spatial scales to allow for more effective comparisons across the diversity of salt marshes.

During our most recent sampling of @EvergladesNPS the MAP team caught an Asian Swamp Eel (monopterus albus) for only the 3rd ever. This non-native species is already wreaking havoc in marsh food webs and we could be seeing range expansions further into Shark River Slough
