New open access paper: Egg Size Scales Negatively With System Size in a Periodic Fish Species. We found that yellow perch in small, inland lakes produced larger eggs than in the Great Lakes. Very excited for this paper to be published in Ecology and Evolution! doi.org/10.1002/ece3.7…

Any recommendations of a microscope for fish age and growth?

Your research is still valuable even if you don't publish in the "top" academic journals.

In the ocean, numbers don’t always mean safety—scientists are discovering that larger fish groups can actually attract more predators! 🐟 Scientists observed a massive cod shoal consuming over 10 million capelin in hours—a record-breaking predation event. phys.org/news/2024-10-o…

This is insane

We need to release wolves in Illinois so that I don't die of chronic wasting disease in a drainage ditch behind a Casey's.
