Some colleagues and I recently published a small paper on some tilapia that were introduced into Port Sulphur, Louisiana. LAFWS managed these fish by treatment with rotenone and stocking of native predatory fishes. After the treatments, a pretty cool shape change occurred in the remaining tilapia, possibly due to the introduction of native predators.
Genetically Distinct Lepomis
A group of researchers I work with, and myself of course recently published a paper about a genetically unique group of the charismatic centarchid fish Lepomis in the geographically isolated and environmentally extreme valley of Cuatrociénegas , Mexico. Check it out at PLoS One.
Site Migration
I have spent some time in the evenings migrating this site from Squarespace to WordPress on my own VPS. It’ll take a little time to get things all polished, but this change should allow easier expansion and changes in the future.
Moving to Chicago
Exciting changes are coming soon. I’ll be starting a new postdoctoral position with the Ree Lab this coming (2013) fall to work on the Open Tree of Life project among other things. Stay tuned.
RandTree 0.2.5
New version of RandTree is posted. Updated to run smoothly with Python 3. Find it here if you are interested.
New Site
Finally put together the new site. It should be up and running in the next week or two.
