  1. NEWS FLASH: We have CLAMS living on campus!

    As part of last week's Sustainability Week at #LincolnUniversityNZ, our freshwater ecology tutor Elysia Harcombe did some kick sampling along a farm ditch. Yes, she found clams!

    It's the first record on #iNaturalist of clams on campus, or anywhere in Lincoln (and we've been kick sampling in the Liffey Stream through Lincoln for several years in my biodiversity class).

    There are records of some clams living in the Yarrs Lagoon wetland reserve to the south of campus, but that's about 3 km to the south (which is downstream and is not connected to campus).

  2. Thrilled to welcome Dr V V Binoy (NIAS, India) as a plenary speaker at #ABL2025. 🙌

    Dr Binoy will explore how his team integrates stakeholders’ perceptions with their research on behavioural insights of mahseer megafish—bridging science, conservation, and community to protect India’s ‘Tiger of the River’. 🐟🐅

  3. If you want to chill out to something a little different, I recommend this short video from the #PBS Oregon Field Guide series about Professor Judy Li effusing about the wonders of stream invertebrates.

    It's also got some amazing underwater macro photography of the insects going about their insect business in the stream.

  4. Wetland (Habitat 🌄)

    A wetland is a distinct semi-aquatic ecosystem whose groundcovers are flooded or saturated in water, either permanently, for years or decades, or only seasonally. Flooding results in oxygen-poor processes taking place, especially in the soils. Wetlands form a transitional zone between waterbodies and dry lands, and are different from other terrestrial or a...

  5. Do you like a fast-paced life style? Or, when it's hectic do you like to go with the flow?

    If so, perhaps you're *rheophilic*.

    Well, not quite, but I learned the word in a seminar today and I like it and wanted to share it.
