ConGARtulations @Wrightfish on successfully defending her master’s thesis!!!
Her research takes a large-scale approach to Alligator Gar life history and ecology with important management implications!

“Kati Wright, a master’s student @NichollsState in Louisiana, hauled a six-foot, alligator-longnose hybrid out of the Trinity River in Texas, an extremely rare find”
Shoutout to hybrid gar caught (and released) by @Wrightfish & @TPWDnews in story @NatGeo! nationalgeographic.com/anima…

“If it all works out, there would be a delicious bit of irony for David, who spends a lot of time trying to change minds about fish that have long been persecuted for being ugly and of no commercial value.”
Thanks @bittelmethis for the story @NatGeo!!! nationalgeographic.com/anima…

Hybrid Gar has entered your timeline…
ALT Photo of an Alligator Gar x Longnose Gar hybrid features the prominent snout of a gar, longer/narrower than an Alligator Gar, but shorter/broader than a Longnose Gar. This fish was tagged and released during fieldwork by GarLab and Texas Parks & Wildlife. Photo Credit: Kati Wright

It is #InternationalWomensDay2024 and I want to shout out the amazing women scientists that have chosen to work with me. Their hard work and determination make the lab work. @lyssa_pagel @KaseaPrice @m_legrest @sarah_stov28192, Ceci, Lindsay, and alumni @greenbeath @Wrightfish

The two faces of Alligator Gar:
1 Fierce
2 Derp.
*both harmless to humans👍#GarLab

4/13 We had noticed that in contradiction to essentially all other species, the two living genera of gars still hybridize despite diverging in 105 million years ago. These hybrids are near perfect intermediates b/w parental phenotypes!
Kati Wright retweeted
6/13 This makes gars the oldest wild hybrid cross in eukaryotes by nearly 50 million years. How could barriers to hybrid viability and fertility fail to form over >100 million years?
