"From Crawdads to Crows: Critters that Should and Critters that Shouldn't" birdsofvermont.org/event/crawda... Interactive workshop at the Birds of Vermont Museum this Saturday about how invasive aquatic invertebrates can impact Vermont waterways and ultimately birds. 🧪 #AIS #invasivespecies #ecology

Beavers!🦫 Learn more about these industrious creatures from naturalist Patti Smith, and biologist and Beaver Deceiver inventor Skip Lisle. April 12, Hinesburg, VT (Town Hall), 2-4 pm. Co-hosted by Hinesburg Conservation Commission and VT Beaver Association. #beaverdeceiver #beaver #wetlands #vt

Excited to share an article recently published in Hydrobiologia: "Stream and reservoir habitat effects on invasive crayfish behavior and injury" link.springer.com/article/10.1... Huge thank you to co-author and mentor Lindsey S. Reisinger. #invasivespecies 🧪 #wildlife #ecology #freshwater #vermont

Hoppers is a must-see, and the type of media we need in the world right now. In addition to being absolutely hilarious, it portrayed human-wildlife conflict and environmental conflict in general in a way that was both thorny and hopeful. Loved seeing wetland ecology in a fun film. 🦫🦫🦫🥔🦫❤️ (#iykyk 🤣)

Species spotlight for National Invasive Species Awareness Week. Invasive faucet snails are a growing concern in the Champlain Basin and Great Lakes region and can outcompete native snails, clog drain and intake pipes, and spread parasites to birds. 🌍🧪 #NISAW #InvasiveSpecies #Wildlife #Ecology

Favorite photos of rusty crayfish (Faxonius rusticus) for National Invasive Species Awareness Week. While extremely disruptive and damaging to ecosystems when introduced, they are also fascinating, and I never cease to be amazed by the color variation. 🌍🧪 #NISAW #wildlife #invasivespecies #vermont

Invasive Species Spotlight! When introduced to a new place, Banded Mystery Snails (Callinina georgiana) can cause damage by: ❌outcompeting native snails ❌eating fish eggs ❌spreading parasites to birds ❌overgrazing vegetation #nisaw #ecology #aquaticinvasives #invasivespecies #scicomm

It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week and we're going to keep that interest going through next week and beyond with a free webinar, "Aquatic Invasives of the Winooski Watershed." Register here: zoom.us/meeting/regi... #nisaw #invasivespecies #winooskiwatershed #lakechamplainbasin

Does anyone have leads on where to find 1.2 micron self-preserving filter packs for eDNA collection from Smith-Root? store.smith-root.com/products/edn... Currently on backorder and hoping to track some down. Any ideas? Happy field season! #edna #dnasampling #ecology #biology #science #dnatest

Beautiful and informative work from @lifesciencestudios.bsky.social perfectly timed for National Invasive Species Awareness Week. 🌏🧪 #NISAW #scicomm #sciart

It's National Invasive Species Awareness Week! #NISAW Even though the GLANSIS database is for the Great Lakes Basin, it has been a useful reference for my work further east in the Lake Champlain Basin in thinking about aquatic invasive species distribution and risk factors. #AIS #vermont 🌍🧪

Your freshwater moment of the day. #freshwater #river #vermont #nature #naturepic

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🔬 On 11 February, we celebrate the important contributions of women to the STEM disciplines. On this occasion, we asked six female scientists what science means to them: home.cern/news/news/cern/international-day-women-and-girls-science-2025

Wouldn't have thought my first post as a freshwater ecologist would be about a land mammal, but this coyote neighbor stopped by, and I thought it might brighten your day. A beaver-created wetland made this possible. 🦫🐾 #freshwaterecology #coyote #beaver #gamecamera #wetlands
