A lake can look completely isolated, yet still contain fish.
How did they get there? Some clues lie in ancient waterways, while research suggests birds may sometimes transport fish eggs between water bodies.
The science is fascinating, and the answer isn’t always the same.
🐌 Field day!
Went out collecting freshwater snails today with Jakke and @davidboukal.bsky.social 🇨🇿 in a pond close to the Austrian border in South Bohemia. Always good to get out of the office and into the mud!
