New paper alert on this #MadtomMonday!
Our study examined the genetic diversity of the federally-threatened Neosho #Madtom throughout #NeoshoRiver basin (KS, MO, OK)
Summary: populations fragmented into genetically distinct conservation units because of impoundments

We evaluated effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding of #FreshwaterMussel communities based on previous conventional sampling methods.
Spoiler: eDNA metabarcoding agreed with conventional surveys but also detected rare species.

Today's #FishFriday post reflects on our 2014 expeditions to the rio Xingu, Brazil. Our teams collected two new species of catfishes that were just described in this 2025 paper:

If you asked me as a student, I never would have thought I'd collect a holotype

Striped Shiners (& Common Shiners) are pretty aggressive when fishing for smallies and can be a blast when using an ultralight spinning rod / 2 wt fly rod, especially for kids. Here's my daughter's catch from a few years ago.

Fall / early winter is the best time to find deals on used kayaks (for <$100)
It'll look great on the water with Cycleptus, Perca, & O.nerka, and on special occasions Campeloma, the canoe

Pinkies have the mildest texture & flavor of the 5 Pacific Salmons - comparable to Rainbow Trout. They are fun to catch (see below... from Alaska) and are amazing to eat with lemon & pepper freshly cooked over an alder fire (especially when soaking up beautiful scenery)

Newest addition to my fish collection
This Rainbow Trout Ezra Brooks decanter (from 1970) was my grandfather's that he passed down to my dad, who (finally... lol) passed down to me. It'll look great in my display case.

Did you know sponges can anchor themselves to #FreshwaterMussels?
We (@mussels4life.bsky.social) found an association b/w mussels & sponges in rio Xingu (Amazon basin). Trawled these critters up from 30+ meters. Mussels were likely only hard substrate for sponges
