Final publication from my dissertation is out online now exploring how #freshwatermussels are associated with variation in a suite of elements (especially Ca) in gravel bars: link.springer.com/article/10… with @Lovemussels and non-twitter co-authors Thomas Parr and Rachel Hartnett

Let’s be honest, mussels don’t really seem like much: two shells, some squishy yet tough material on the inside, a foot . . . if you can call it that & with no “snoot to boop” it’s kind of hard to form a connection. Or is it . . . ow.ly/7tGr50Phtt7 #IRA23 #BIL

Earlier this year we announced the exciting news that we are now an @IUCNssc, Center for Species Survival: Freshwater! With this new designation, one of our first goals was to expand our ongoing freshwater mussel research beyond the Midwest and into Central America. (1/5)

This Leafshell, Epioblasma flexuosa, is pretty remarkable. Currently considered extinct as no live individuals have been found since the year 1900, but this specimen looks recently deceased giving hope for its species rediscovery. Plus it’s HUGE! #FreshwaterMussels #AprilFools

Totally fascinated by this photo I took last week of a #native mussel filtering while it's surrounded by filtering #invasive Zebra Mussels 🤯 @DaveZanatta @MusselLab_DW @cmichSE @Cmich_Biology
