If you work on inland lakes in the Midwest, this tool is for you. One of my favorite new features - you can generate a detailed report with extensive ecological data and model results for any lake in the region in handy PDF format with just a click!

The study found blueberry seeds digested by wolves and then deposited in their scat were between 5 and 27 percent more likely to successfully germinate and sprout into new blueberry plants. That's significant when put in the context of how many berries wolves eat.

I know I've shared this illustration for #SundayFishSketch a few times now, but I'm sharing it again because it was accepted into the Minnesota State Fair fine arts building and is currently on display. So, if you're headed to the fair check it and the other amazing art out!

An illustration of a Burbot (a type of fish) swimming in deep water. The water is dark - almost black - and the bottom is a mixture of sand, silt, and rocks. The burbot is in three-quarter view, and the front is illuminated while the back fades into the background. A school of small, nondescript silver fish swim beneath the burbot.

Attention Ecologists! We are going to need *a lot* of ecologists. The First Lego League Teams need to speak with a scientist about their projects every year. Every year it's a different type of scientist. Last year was archaeologists. This year, ecologists! Sign up: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

There's something fishy going on in the frigid, dark depths of Lake Superior. Scientists have discovered a growing number of emaciated lake trout deep in Lake Superior, about half their normal body weight, dubbing them "zombie fish." They’re racing to learn what’s behind the phenomenon.
