Such a loss. She was such a champion of conservation. She inspired me to become an ecologist and I am so grateful to have had the chance to see her speak, twice.
We must all continue her legacy by fighting for wildlife conservation and continue to have hope π€
Rest in Peace, Janeπ€

Cambarus robustus at Bronte Creek Provincial Park.
I went on a solo hike today at Bronte Creek Provincial park with the goal of witnessing the beginning of the salmon run. The salmon havenβt made it this far west yet, but I was blessed to find this beautiful Cambarus robustus who had recently molted.

A reminder:
There is no analogy in the fossil record for the magnitude & scale of the modern bioinvasion event.
Driven by human activities, species are moving faster, farther, and in greater numbers than at any time in the history of life.

Blessed to find this beautiful electric blue Faxonius virilis while sampling the St. Lawrence for my doctoral work! This is a fairly rare phenotype for this native North American species!
