A little treat today with a morning out of the office, sampling Threespine sticklebacks in Kenogamie lake with students of the lab. Great success and weather! They will be used in a great project with @ecoevoevoeco.bsky.social, @gehaines.bsky.social & many more!

Striking example of the large, longterm and pervasive impacts of plastic pollution, using a small freshwater stream engineer; the caddisfly larvae, brilliant work!

NEW PAPER, JUST OUT! 👀

Insects from the '70s and '80s were already collecting microplastic, decades before the term microplastic even existed. 🤯

A thread on the surprising history of this pollutant and the incredible insect larvae that helped us uncover it. 🐛

Let's dive in! 🧵👇 1/x

“De-extinction” is to biodiversity loss what “Mars colonization” is to climate change—wishful thinking that is at its core impossible but nevertheless sucks up attention and resources from actual solutions to these crises (which, ultimately, might be the whole point)
