stunning paper highlighted by @profcolinbean.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal... Time to change our thinking about fish distributions? This is amazing. Did stone age fishers introduce fishes to Scandinavian mountain lakes 5000 ybp? Were they doing the same elsewhere in Europe?

hello fish bone archaeology/historical ecology world! does anyone have a length (or mass) - vertebrae diameter relationship for ruffe Gymnocephalus cernuus?

Our new paper is out! Here we reconstructed the life and journey of an altiplano woman that travelled to the Atacama Desert during her last year of life, changing her diet and lifestyle: royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article... @ramiro-arqueo.bsky.social @profchrisharrod.bsky.social

The good news fairy finally visited. Finally.

@bbsbryology.bsky.social folks - any tips on measuring production/phytomass in aquatic mosses? Stupid fish biologist begging for help.

folks who work in Perú - what restrictions are there to removing fish tissue samples (muscle/otoliths) and baselines (bivalves/gastropods) from the country and to the UK. Samples will be from non-CITES species.

new paper out with Chilean colleagues www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This looks like an interesting meeting on diet DNA - to be held at Durham University between 21-24 July 2026 foragingecology.com/diets/

Hey Bill Gates : Are you familiar with the logical fallacy known as "false dilemma"?

"We found that despite the enormous spatial range of data, both pPOM and sPOM became 2.1‰ and 2.2‰ more 13C-depleted per decade, respectively, with parallel decreases in the δ13C values in consumers" journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

🔁Help us spread the word! Share the post, tag your early-career researchers friends, or mention it in your lab meetings. Let’s make sure every early career anadromous salmonid researcher knows about it! 🐟 #NoWPaS2026 #EarlyCareerResearchers #FishScience #SalmonidResearch

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?
