Congratulations to McIntyre Lab post-doc Austin Milt whose dissertation research recently appeared in a new major text for conservation planning. Conservation Planning: Informed Decisions for a Healthier Planet by Craig R. Groves and Edward T. Game is a new resource for practitioners, students, or researchers of conservation, natural resource management, or landscape planning and architecture. It includes methods, tools, approaches and case studies in nature conservation.

The McIntyre Lab will migrate to Shedd Aquarium for the second annual World Fish Migration Day! Join us in Chicago on May 21 to learn more about migratory fishes, the need for healthy rivers, and opportunities to protect them! Visitors can undertake a scavenger hunt of sorts as they fill in their “Migratory Fish Passport.” See migratory species up close and on display. Talk with fisheries researchers about how they monitor fish populations and what they’re learning. And, of course, get a photo of their heads in our amazing “fish face cut-outs.”

Catherine Wagner, a UW assistant professor in the Department of Botany and the UW Biodiversity Institute, is studying interactions between the biodiversity of East Africa’s Lake Tanganyika and the human communities that live around the lake. The work is conducted with the support of The Nature Conservancy and with collaborator Peter McIntyre, an assistant professor in the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Center for Limnology.

NEW paper by McIntyre Lab former grad student Evan Childress out in Ecology of Freshwater Fish, "Spawning success and early life history of longnose suckers in Great Lakes tributaries"
Called “Fish On the Run,” the site will chronicle the fieldwork, scientific studies and computer modeling going on in Peter McIntyre’s research group here at the Center for Limnology. While much of the focus will be on the migratory fishes of the Great Lakes, folks in McIntyre’s group also explore fish as far afield as Tanzania and Thailand.
A sneak peek of an upcoming H7 project that will take viewers on a journey to the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
