stunning paper highlighted by @profcolinbean.bsky.social www.cambridge.org/core/journal... Time to change our thinking about fish distributions? This is amazing. Did stone age fishers introduce fishes to Scandinavian mountain lakes 5000 ybp? Were they doing the same elsewhere in Europe?

folks who work in Perú - what restrictions are there to removing fish tissue samples (muscle/otoliths) and baselines (bivalves/gastropods) from the country and to the UK. Samples will be from non-CITES species.

aquatic invert crew. I once worked in a lab where they used small receptacles filled with glass beads that allowed freshwater inverts to be positioned exactly so you could count setae, view gills etc via a dissection microscope. I can't remember what these were called. Anyone got a clue/link?
