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/outdoor-news...

The USGS Ecosystems Mission Area, the foundation of the science that informs fish and wildlife management, disease response, and conservation policy across the U.S., is at risk. We're joining @nationalwildlife.bsky.social in a virtual rally on May 22 - register now: www.mobilize.us/nwf/event/79...

The USGS coop units are so essential to fish and wildlife management/conservation. I have been so lucky to work with these talented and dedicated researchers over the years, and am beyond sad and infuriated about these proposed cuts.

It looks like the Trump administration isn't going to wait for the FY26 budget to decimate the National Park Service and the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area. Thousands of job cuts (1,500 in NPS and 1,000 in USGS) are planned via reduction in force within 10 days. Who benefits from this? Not Americans.

A light in the midst of a lot of chaos and uncertainty in #GreatLakes science- Using genetics and morphology, we discovered a fish that was once presumed extinct still swims in Lake Superior. #CiscoInferno🔥 🐟🧬 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Quick break from the doom and gloom for science! We're really proud of this one. We found that two major effect loci on duplicated versions of the same ancestral chromosome play a major role in run timing diversity across four species of salmon (pink, chum, sockeye, coho) shorturl.at/GISX2

One of the greatest honors I have ever had in my life! This is a very timely encouragement for me to further navigate my academic journey. I will always try my best to continue Dr. Bernatchez’s legacy. I hope this serves as a springboard that proples me to greater heights in the future!!!🙌

An intriguing new evolutionary story has just dropped, from my friend and colleague Leif Andersson: a discrete population of large predatory herring in the Baltic Sea, apparently in the process of evolving into a new species. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s #Festivus, so you know what that means - time for an Airing of Grievances about a #GreatLakes Grinch! Goldfish (Carassius auratus) - yes, the goldfish of home aquariums worldwide - have unfortunately been an invasive species in the #GreatLakes for decades #25DaysofFishmas

🎶I’m dreaming of a white #Fishmas…🎶 If you're dreaming of snow and cold this winter, you're in good company - the Pygmy Whitefish (Prosopium coulterii), is a small, little-known fish adapted for life in cold and dark environments like the deepest parts of Lake Superior #25DaysofFishmas ❄️

Here we goooo! 🥳 @drkatfish.bsky.social lighting the #ciscoinferno🔥 on Day 4 of the #25DaysofFishmas with Coregonus kiyi 🐟 The etymology of ‘kiyi’ is unknown but might be a reference to the KiYi brush once carried by navy sailors for washing clothes🤔

Are you interested in evolutionary epigenetics? After Evolution 2024 in Montréal, we created an Evolutionary Epigenetics Discord server for all things epigenetics - data analysis, events, job opportunities, etc. Interested? Message me for the link! 😄

Hi everyone. I felt really dejected for a long time about the state of science communication on Twitter, and was reluctant to give things a try on yet another new platform. I’m so touched by the support everyone has shown so let’s give this one last go, as KaiTheFishGuy on Blue Sky!

Great paper led by my colleagues Anne Beemelmanns, Raphaël Bouchard & Sozos Michaelides. In this study, SNP panels were designed for Lake Whitefish, Brook trout & Arctic Charr for usage in indigenous-led & commercial fisheries management initiatives, including mine 😎. doi.org/10.1111/1755...

Hello, world! I’m a #NewPI at UAlberta. Our research focuses on mechanisms for plasticity like DNA methylation. I’m particularly interested in the role of epigenomic variation in evolution on different timescales, from acute acclimation to genome evolution. Fish, salmonids, maybe snails? Stay tuned!
