Done collecting #Macroinvertebrate and #eDNA in the Lancang-Mekong, southwest China. Visited pristine and land use impacted streams, & found extremely diverse aquatic insects. Heading back to the laboratory soon.

Very happy to announce that our new paper with @Albert_Ruhi and Ted Grantham on the effects of human stabilization of river flows on fish invasions across the USA has been published in GEB Journal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

Please spread the word! If you are an indigenous scientist or a scientist using traditional ecological knowledge to study temporary rivers and streams, please submit an abstract to Session S12 at the Society for Freshwater Science's upcoming meeting! sfsannualmeeting.org/Special.cfm

Our paper is out now finding that environmental DNA of preservative ethanol performed better than water samples in detecting macroinvertebrate diversity using metabarcoding onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dd…

Very proud to announce our new article in @PNAS where we quantified the duel impacts of climate change and land use on global river fish communities! @xingli_giam @Albert_Ruhi @oldenfish & Pablo Tedesco pnas.org/content/118/27…

Happy to announce that I just moved to @HainanUniversity. Excited for new opportunities here in this new position. I will miss my terrific friends, colleagues, and students NAU.

Julian Olden, professor UW SAFS, was elected as an ESA Fellow for pushing the frontiers of invasion ecology, for deepening the understanding of freshwater sustainability, and for tireless science communication and mentorship. Congratulations @oldenfish! #ESA2022 🙌🙌

Our IBI/MMI paper is out now. In this review, we discuss eleven major concerns with the development and application (including logistical limitations) of multimetric indicators based on freshwater biota to encourage more rigorous and widely applicable MMI implementation.

Huge appreciation to @oldenfish for delivering a super informative short course on dam-impacted fresh waters in the past 2 months at Hainan University! Thanks Julian👏

The @oldenfish lab Chinese students Chunlong Liu (刘春龙) finally meet in Haikou, enjoying seafood. Looking forward to meeting @oldenfish in Haikou & Qingdao.

By analyzing a huge US riverine dataset, we reveal more consistent func vs. taxo responses to landuse change across taxo groups & geographic regions, & traits contribute the most to func composition change differ between urban and ag. Co-led with Julian, & thanks to all coauthors

Our paper is out in Ecography now. Specifically, we found that subtropical β-diversity varies more in space relative to variation in time compared with temperate β-diversity.

It was awesome to have @oldenfish visiting Hainan. It was a very productive week talking science, visiting streams, meeting friends, & seeing fish.
