#Eels and isotopes, oh my! New paper out from my lab led by the amazing @mikecurtis.bsky.social! What kind of variation is found in #stableisotopes in American eel in the understudied subtropical part of its range? Find out now! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

What's marine functional connectivity? And where is the research going next? I'm excited to be a part of this new major review of the field along with some amazing colleagues! Check it out! doi.org/10.3354/meps...

An outstanding showing by the Walther Lab at the Texas Chapter of the American Fisheries Society this weekend! Kimber Montanye, Blake Munz and Jacob Oster presented all of their amazing work on flounder, tarpon, hypoxia, and beyond!

TWO new papers out! Companion papers using fish geochemical signatures to track movement and habitat use! Two amazing students of mine analyzed #otoliths, #stableisotopes and fish scales in Red Drum. We found individual variation in lifetime movement patterns, as well as strong site attachment!
