why do people do species-level macroinvertebrate analysis, include the crustaceans, and then not identify them beyond presence/absence. it's great that you got all the midges to species, really, but I promise water fleas also have species

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨
In this @globalchangebio.bsky.social study we used 1327 time series of freshwater macroinvertebrate communities across Europe to investigate whether dispersal capacity changes with the ecological quality of rivers. @sgn.one

I've logged over a hundred dives in California and I've never seen a sunflower star. I was certified in 2015.
Absolutely beyond pumped to see this macroinvertebrate predator take the reefs back.
Absolutely beyond pumped to see this macroinvertebrate predator take the reefs back.
Captive bred sunflower stars (Pycnopodia helianthoides) successfully released into Monterey Bay for the first time! This species has been more or less extirpated south of Washington since the 2014 outbreak of sea star wasting disease.🧪🦑
Sunflower star recovery project in California hits major milestone
Their return could help reverse a decade of kelp forest die-offs along the coast.
