LAB SHOUTOUT🧪🪲 StreamCLIMES researches how drying across the southern US impacts community structure, food web dynamics, and genetic connectivity of macro-invertebrates living on and below bodies of water. They’re processing Alabama watershed leaf litter breakdown samples now!

LAB SHOUTOUT 🧪🌎 The Atkinson lab focuses on organisms’ roles in maintaining vital ecosystem processes with the interactions and impact of flow regime alterations of waterways, land use, and climate change. 🪲Stay tuned for updates on other projects through the Atkinson lab!

Reminder ‼️ Our March chapter meeting is coming up and there’s only 1 week left to propose a special session.

Check out this freshwater inhabitant, the red swamp crayfish(Procambarus clarkii)! It is native to the gulf region and has made its way quite far globally as an invasive species. Fun fact: They make chimneys above ground and burrow below ground. #ecology #fieldwork #research

LAB SHOUTOUT 🌊🧪 The AIMS project researches intermittent streams; streams with periods of no flow. The team utilizes hydrology, macroinvertebrate/microbial community ecology and biogeochemistry to help them understand intermittent streams. #ecology #hydrology #research

It’s National Mussel day! Freshwater mussels are at the bottom of our rivers, lakes and streams, helping to keep the ecosystems stable and clean. #ecology #scienceeducation #freshwaterscience #science

Check out this episode from ‘The outfall’. Steve Galladay speaks on the value of mussels in the Flint river. To learn more about conservation of these incredible organisms, look for Steve and his colleagues’ special session at our March chapter meeting. theoutfall.com/story/mighty-m…

LAB SHOUTOUT 🏞️ 🧪 The Corbicula Mesocosm project, from Alabama, investigated how the native freshwater mussel, Lampsilis fasciola, is impacted by increasing densities of the invasive freshwater clam, Corbicula fluminea, in varying food resource treatments. #invasivespecies

More details coming soon… We are looking for memes, videos, podcasts, songs, and hopefully something we’ve never heard of! #freshwaterscience #ecology #ecologyresearch #environmentalcommunications #environmentaleducation #environmentalpodcast

Happy 2025 🎉 !! This year we want to promote y’all’s hard work. DM us pictures of your lab group, some information on your project and any questions! #science #labpromotion #research #freshwaterscience #societyoffreshwaterscience

We are excited to announce that we will be having an environmental communication competition! All submissions will be posted on Instagram, bluesky and twitter. Please DM us with any questions, and look for the google form link in our bio. #environmentaled #environmentalcomm

LAB SHOUTOUT 🪱 🌳 The Giant Aquatic Salamanders project is based out of SW Georgia in isolated forested wetlands. They study spatial and food partitioning of fully aquatic salamanders(Amphiuma means and Siren lacertina). #ecology #wetlandsresearch #research

Don’t worry if you missed your chance to submit… Our environmental Communications Competition will be open until March 2nd!! Happy submitting 🥳 #environmentaleducation #environmentalcommunications #environmentalart #sciencecompetition

Happy Friday from our new friend! On a tributary of the Conasauga River, one of our groups is monitoring water quality and chemistry, but found this American Green Tree Frog trying to get in on the action.#waterquality #conasauga #freshwaterscience #americangreentreefrog #ecology
