Chorizo breakfast burritos are significantly better than bacon breakfast burritos. Replicate samples were taken. I ran the stats. The results are comprehensive. I need a nap.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

Absolutely terrible. @lizrenner.bsky.social is an amazing scientist, colleague, and friend. SMFH. The attacks on our science, public lands, and PEOPLE of this country are real. We will ALL be affected. www.keloland.com/keloland-com...

Facebook profile deleted. You were just like a really cheesy greasy pizza. I really enjoyed you at the start, but by the end you left me sick to my stomach.

Attention all limnologists! We recently published a paper where we tracked changes in study duration of lakes and reservoirs through time. There are plenty short-duration papers. But long term studies are getting longer! #lakes #ecology #lter @sfs-src.bsky.social @aslo.org rdcu.be/d74UM

Enjoy! I'm certain these aren't fish or benthic inverts. Pretty, nonetheless. Oh, and that's Lake Superior in the background. It's the best lake. It's in the name.

Aquatic insects emerge from freshwaters as adults. When they do, many disperse laterally into terrestrial environments feeding birds, bats, etc. Healthy streams lead to healthy forests. See our meta-analysis on insect dispersal. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/NWKMIB... #foodwebs #ecology

A climate change extinction model predicts that extinctions will accelerate at a 1.5C increase in mean global temperature. The highest-emission scenario would threaten one-third of species, especially amphibians and species in alpine, island and freshwater ecosystems. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Brown trout were hungry, gorging on allochthonous inputs of cicadas. Diets were collected in mountain streams of the Santa Fe National Forest (New Mexico). Healthy forests, healthy food webs, well fed fishes (including non-native trout) #teamfish #streamecology #foodwebs #ecology
