I went on a solo hike today at Bronte Creek Provincial park with the goal of witnessing the beginning of the salmon run. The salmon haven’t made it this far west yet, but I was blessed to find this beautiful Cambarus robustus who had recently molted.

Blessed to find this beautiful electric blue Faxonius virilis while sampling the St. Lawrence for my doctoral work! This is a fairly rare phenotype for this native North American species!

Check out our new paper "Bioclimatic, terrain, and specific peatland composition are major drivers of woodland caribou winter habitat suitability in northern Ontario". I am grateful to have worked on this important topic with this amazing team!
