A sobering thread on #WinterLimnology . For a great overview on ice loss in northern lakes, take a look at #IAGLR23 plenary from Sapna Sharma youtube.com/watch?v=Vo9Cd7…

Students, by joining IAGLR, you join a community of people devoted to understanding large lake ecosystems. Our members receive several benefits, while showing their support for large lake science. Make that investment in your #GreatLakesSci future, today: bit.ly/49jTo7i

Reminder to submit Hoshaw applications to attend #PSAISOPISEP2024

As of the morning of Feb. 12, the #GreatLakes have crossed the historic threshold and reached a record low of ice cover basin-wide.

The measurement taken as of the morning was 2.69% ice cover. NOAA Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory

Oldest-known wild platypus gives new insights into longevity of enigmatic Australian species abc.net.au/news/science/2…

The science of figuring out where illegally stocked fish come from–here, a Lake Cascade ID walleye–is getting better. While its original home is unknown due to lack of comprehensive H20 database, chem signature shows it was put in Payette L area, then swam downstream to Cascade

Fisheries management practices sometimes rely on predation and competition to control populations. This analysis suggests that abundance and growth of common species may be more dependent on the local environment than on predation or competition. Peter Euclide bit.ly/42Fl7wq

The Blackbanded Sunfish, a species with threatened populations throughout its endemic range, can be successfully aquacultured to aid in potential population restoration initiatives or to supply fish for the aquarium trade. @uf_ifas_tal bit.ly/4bzP4SR

Better understanding of tag retention characteristics through long-term tagging studies such as this can inform study design, be considered in model design, and ultimately improve inferences from mark–recapture studies. @sfcolborne Quantitative Fisheries Center at MSU GLATOS Telemetry bit.ly/42FaEkN
