Day 10 in the field

During our most recent sampling of Everglades National Park the MAP team caught an Asian Swamp Eel (monopterus albus) for only the 3rd ever. This non-native species is already wreaking havoc in marsh food webs and we could be seeing range expansions further into Shark River Slough

_If_ you have published a study on the trophic discrimination/fractionation/diet shift of sulphur/sulfur stable isotopes please send it to me [email protected] Am finishing a meta-analysis and hope I have all that can be found, but don't want to miss your work!

NEW PAPER: We modelled the Lake Champlain food web to assess the impacts of alewife invasion based on expectations from the Great Lakes' invasions, and found some interesting contrasts! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Roll tide!

Check out our new manuscript investigating the distribution of pharmaceuticals in bonefish across the Caribbean. Every fish had at least one pharmaceutical and pharma composition varied across regions authors.elsevier.com/c/1iHZMAOMA1UY6 FIU Institute of Environment Bonefish & Tarpon Trust

Coach Saban is the GOAT!! Thanks for believing in a young man from Flint, Michigan. Helped me become a champion on the field, but more importantly a champion in LIFE. Enjoy retirement Coach, you earned that!! Love you Coach Saban, ROLL TIDE!! 🥹🥲

Greatness Witnessed ❤️ #RollTide

So stoked to have just gotten the formal 'ACCEPTED' email from our latest (and possibly greatest) isotope ecology collaboration. Very excited to share this when it comes out, hopefully it will be helpful to many people!

Final four! #rolltide
