I remember reading before about those fresh water bivalves and their complicated life cycle. I am blown away by their longevity! It may be their saving grace since they depend on so many conditions to successfully reproduce and reach maturity. I am so grateful to people that choose to study those seemingly insignificant species, it gives us a chance to at least be aware and then we learn just how significant they actually are!

I also remember you talking about diving in that tannic color water in the caves under Ottawa river and watching you flip one and how it straightened itself out!

Fascinating read! Learning more every day and also helps me stay sane here in California as we navigate this crazy election season! Yours is a safe and positive space!
