Lunchtime Discovery: The Little Fishes of Lake Waccamaw

  • Wednesday, August 16, 2023
  • 12:00pm - 1:00pm

Lake Waccamaw

Dan MacGuigan, National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow, State University of New York at Buffalo

From the sandy Atlantic Coastal Plain to the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains, rivers and streams of North Carolina are home to around 250 species of fishes. Each of these species has its own ecological and evolutionary story to tell. Dan MacGuigan will share some of those stories from his research on Lake Waccamaw, a tiny ecosystem that is home to three species of fishes found nowhere else in the world.
