Another mussel display for your viewing pleasure. This from a tributary of a tributary of the lower Flint River in GA, US. On this day, all the females were 'a luring'. They were hoping to catch a ride for their larvae on an accommodating fish. #musselhugger #riverlove

Way to go, Dr. Cassandra Quave🌿⚕️!! Keep bringing the #plantjoy !

We are proud to present the winners of the Society of Herbarium Curators 2024 Student Awards:

Matthew Yamamoto California Botanic Garden & Claremont Graduate U. won a Graduate Award ($500) for the project 'A flora of the McGee Creek Watershed, Mono County, California'.

Congratulations!

Great lab meeting today discussing journal article on effective size. Message. Many populations are too small to maintain genetic diversity so management action is needed. Especially plants and amphibians onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me… Dylan Fraser great work!!
