Some days you find yourself beside the Pecos River. Bask in the morning light.

If we don't take risks in life, then what's the point of living?

Really cool results. Focusing on the broader spectrum of particle sizes can reveal patterns that would otherwise be missed if we only focus on the microplastics.

It's invasive common carp spawning season. Disturbance associated with carp spawning (i.e., bioturbation) resuspends sediments, nutrients, and microplastics.

Enjoy! I'm certain these aren't fish or benthic inverts. Pretty, nonetheless. Oh, and that's Lake Superior in the background. It's the best lake. It's in the name.

Aquatic insects emerge from freshwaters as adults. When they do, many disperse laterally into terrestrial environments feeding birds, bats, etc. Healthy streams lead to healthy forests. See our meta-analysis on insect dispersal. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/NWKMIB... #foodwebs #ecology

Brown trout were hungry, gorging on allochthonous inputs of cicadas. Diets were collected in mountain streams of the Santa Fe National Forest (New Mexico). Healthy forests, healthy food webs, well fed fishes (including non-native trout) #teamfish #streamecology #foodwebs #ecology
