Glasgow's M8 set for nine months of roadworks

aquatic invert crew. I once worked in a lab where they used small receptacles filled with glass beads that allowed freshwater inverts to be positioned exactly so you could count setae, view gills etc via a dissection microscope. I can't remember what these were called. Anyone got a clue/link?

eh?

one for the UK freshwater ecology lecturers. Do you still teach the use of BMWP in labs/field courses or do you use the WHPT index?

Down in the big city/main campus to hear a talk by star quantitative ecology MSc student @nadiafrontier.bsky.social She did great (as expected) and the uni looks amazing as always

lake isotope people... anyone ever seen Asellus with very, very 13C-depleted d13C values? As in lower than profundal chironomids from low DO sediments?

Seven years ago, we hosted the cream of the isotope ecology community in Viña del Mar, Chile for #IsoEcol2018. A great conference and a really, really great conference party 😎

bye bye you annoying git!

Isotope ecology folks - any tips/examples of combining enriched/natural abundance data in mixing models?

Next year's @thefsbi.bsky.social conference will be at the @unisouthampton.bsky.social See you there!

@helenalcurrie.bsky.social great talk at #FSBI2025 Would be interested to talk to you about PAM in a small lake setting... 🙂

First @sceneuog.bsky.social speaker at #FSBI2025 is up, with Ruaidhri Forrester talking on his PhD work on vendace, Coregonus albula

Ever gone to a conference and found out that an earlier speaker has an almost identical talk? Luckily it's by a close mate @drhaydo.bsky.social ‬ and I have time to change my talk for #FSBI2025 #GreatMindsThinkAlike

Another wonderful CESAB FOOD-WEBS working group meeting!. Such a wonderful and productive time (managed to submit 2 papers during the meeting) Special thanks to @profchrisharrod.bsky.social for hosting us at @sceneuog.bsky.social in Scotland! Funding: @frbiodiv.bsky.social

Very happy to report this new paper led by newly minted Dra @karinagonzalez.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Orestias were the reason that I first came to Chile back in 2007 (well, apart from @criordor.bsky.social !). This led to ANID-funded work on lago Chungará with INVASAL.

this looks like a game changer for the (pre-) historical ecology field!

Heading back to Glasgow tired but very content after a long, intense but absolutely fantastic week of teaching stable isotope ecology to this lovely group of scientists on the #SGSIE2025 course at the ExedraCenter Our field is in very, very safe hands!

Heading to Sicily to teach on the 2025 Survivor's Guide to Stable Isotope Ecology (#SGSIE2025). @clivetrue.bluesky.social is on the same flight and we're both looking forward to a fun week with a group keen to learn about isotope ecology.

Anyone know of fossils of Coregonus or Salvelinus spp.? I've looked on paleobiodb.org but wonder if there are any more out there...

rather nice inland fisheries post going at the FAO jobs.fao.org/careersectio...

if you work on stable isotope ecology, _the_ account to follow here on Bluesky is @stableisotopeecol.bsky.social They are the most consistent source of new interesting isotope ecology papers. Follow and enjoy the science!!

which publisher has the best platform for viewing/downloading papers/citation details? I like the Royal Socs and really dislike Frontiers

…A number of my friends and colleagues at #NOAA ‘s Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab were just fired by the new administration. Hard workers and wonderful community members dedicated to protecting the #GreatLakes. I’m furious at this pointless destruction of people’s careers and lives.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

Do spiders select prey based on its nutrient content? This is challenging to study outside the lab - but evidence from the field in our new @oikosjournal.bsky.social paper led by @jordancuff.bsky.social supports the idea 🧪🌍 nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

When baby salmon emerge from the gravel, how far do they disperse to summer rearing grounds? We haven't known until now (at least at the population scale), because they're too small to tag. In a paper just out, we answered this question using parentage-based (genetic) tagging! tinyurl.com/39b2sfjd

Very happy to report that today I watched my first two @uofgsbohvm.bsky.social / @sceneuog.bsky.social final year students present their dissertation talks. Eden and Zoe did fantastically, as did all their peers. Very professional, clear and excited to present their own research.
