new thing I learned today: humans intentionally introduced a bunch of trout to rivers in Chile in the early 1900s and messed up the ecosystem so fly fisher people could go play fish or something. which sucks. then later they found out that the trout really like eating these small endemic freshwater hermit-crab-cousin guys called Aegla. so there was a proposal in the 1970s to introduce Aegla into California to screw up THAT ecosystem, so fisher people could go play fish even more over there. but then it turned out that the normally detritovore Aegla will absolutely 100% just turn into a predator and eat the baby trout if given half a chance. this could have turned out really bad, but luckily crabs can do whatever they want, including burrowing into the invasive trout nests to eat their eggs. I'm proud of them

It's so, SO important to share success stories like this. I know an actual JPL engineer who doesn't believe in climate change because, "you never hear about acid rain anymore."

I wanted to share this: WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO BRING BACK DEAD CORAL!!! By using sounds of living coral to attract fish.
