Sometimes you set out to ask one question and you end up addressing something different. Here is an example of that where we set out to synthesize US biomonitoring data and pesticide data and ended up asking a biodiversity question. Fun working with this team!
Our research group just published a study in Nature on how fish biodiversity in U.S. rivers and streams has been changing over the past 27 years (1993–2019). The results show sharply diverging trends depending on historic and changing water temperature. 🧵 rdcu.be/eH0l8
