\"John<\/a>I am a fish biologist and ichthyologist with over 32 years of experience. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Union College, Schenectady, NY, and my Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Currently, I serve as the Curator of Fishes at the University of Wisconsin Zoological Museum and as a Fisheries Research Supervisor for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, both in Madison. As curator, I have conducted conservation-oriented work on freshwater fishes throughout Mexico since 1986. A long-term focus has been the goodeid fishes and their associates in central Mexico. I serve as the Chair of the North American branch of the Goodeid Working Group (NAGWG), and I am an honorary member of the Mexican Ichthyological Society (SIMAC). I am extremely proud to have had a goodeid recently named after me, Xenotoca lyonsi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We are so glad to have John on the CARES Team! Many thanks, John, for all that you do to preserve goodeids for generations to come!<\/p>\n
