Thousands of the 'zombie' cicadas are complicating SLU research. Here's why: ksdk.com/article/news/local/…

St. Louis cicada population see thousands infected with hypersexually hijacking fungus

St. Louis University researchers are trying to understand exactly how cicadas mate and communicate, but some have been hypersexually hijacked.

Replying to @JasonKnouft
@JasonKnouft, faculty researcher with @slu_water, @SLUBiology, @NGRREC and @SLUResearch, shares his expertise on how climate change is impacting the Mississippi River in a @guardian article about drinking water challenges in Louisiana: theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

‘Everything out the faucet is salt’: Louisianans struggle as drinking water crisis persists

New Orleans has avoided losing drinking water due to a saltwater ‘wedge’ traveling up the Mississippi River – but in Plaquemines parish, it has already happened

Really happy to finally see this work out! We found using an isolated brainstem prep that severely hypoxic/anoxic slider turtles are most likely blind, may still hear. shorturl.at/gLU05 shorturl.at/CFIJ8 @SLUBiology @PharmPhysSLU @J_Exp_Biol

African forest elephants "garden the forest in ways that are beneficial not only for biodiversity, but also for carbon sequestration — for taking carbon out of the atmosphere." Listen to our latest podcast episode with @SLUBiology Prof. Stephen Blake: news.stlpublicradio.org/show…

Critically endangered elephants play major role in rainforest conservation

Critically endangered elephants in the Congo Basin play a key role in creating forests, which in turn, store carbon and maintain the biodiversity of African rainforests.
