Evolutionary "hills" or "islands"? Very interesting new approach to measure the uniqueness of a biological community, with great potential use as baseline to identify high-value biodiversity sites at multiple scales.

Thrilled to share our new article published in Hydrobiologia!🎉 We found that hydrological connectivity, rather than pond age, was the key driver of community assembly in coastal ponds. Many thanks to the co-authors🙌🏻 📃: doi.org/10.1007/s107... @iea-udg.bsky.social @greco-udg.bsky.social

July's meeting of the EcoAqua research group. Lots of interesting talks, amazing research and fun interactions. I've talked a bit about Open Science and we all made some drawings (sooo glad that we all focused on an academic and not an artistic life..haha). Looking forward to the next meetings!

Acaba de sortir del forn! En aquest article, resultant dels projectes AquiPondSys i TREASURE, expliquem l’origen geològic únic en el món de les basses de l’Albera👇🏼👇🏼 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Insightful talk today by @oldenfish.bsky.social @uwsafs.bsky.social at @iea-udg.bsky.social @univgirona.bsky.social on bounty programs as a management strategy for native and non-native species

Some weeks ago we published a work leaded by #Dorottya & @csabaiz.bsky.social in #FWB where we looked at the relevance of spatiotemporal connectivity across different intermittent streams 😄 A nice output from our exchanges in #Pécs around #DRYvER project @tdatry.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/fwb....

@sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social @marsobral.bsky.social & @ibartomeus.bsky.social on the (huge, urgent) need to change publishing pathways While public administrations (regional, national, European) decide to stop paying subscriptions and create their own portals, check journal options below

@anna-equisuany.bsky.social is expaining its PhD mesocosm experiment to study fragmenation effects over metacommunities #funMETANET

Fiona Corominas is showing the first results of its PhD about the urban effect on vegetation #GiroNat

Luis Martin is presenting the urban effect on freshwater ecosystems #GiroNat

This week the @greco-udg.bsky.social team is at @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social showing our reserch

The making of.

it was great to meet all the pond friends!! @carlaulmusminor.bsky.social @stephi-gascon.bsky.social @zsofiahorvath.bsky.social, Marga Florencio and many more!

Thrilled to have joined the workshop “CONSERVING AND RESTORING TEMPORARY POND LANDSCAPES IN EUROPE.” Huge thanks to Poli and Marga for the invite! It was the best workshop I’ve attended in years—fantastic to exchange ideas and reconnect with colleagues and friends I hadn’t seen in so long!!!

🎉 The video game inspired on our research #funMETANET is finally out! Huge thanks to #CientífiksenJoc and the talented students from #St.George.School who designed it. To play it in English—switch the language setting before starting. Available to play on computer! 🕹️ gencat.cat/recercaiuniv...

Our PhD student, Anna Equisuany, is back in the lab after successfully presenting #SFS2025 results showing that different types of fragmentation impact biodiversity — both taxonomically and functionally. Yes, fragmentation type does matter!!! #funMETANET

Indistinguible.

On #BiologicalDiversityDay it’s important to remember that humanity has caused dramatic changes to the biosphere - only 6% of the combined weight of all mammals on Earth 🌏 is wild! 😳 From the fantastic research by: @liorgreenspoon.bsky.social Ron Milo and colleagues. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

So happy to see Dr. Eugènia Martí, great scientist and colleague from Catalonia, be inducted as SFS Fellow. So well deserved - an inspiration for us all! #SFS2025

Beautiful essay on why remaining silent won’t protect us - academia as a whole should rise up! www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

On March 7, 2025, actions were held across France in solidarity with the science community in the US. In a symbolic gagging action in Paris, scientists read loud research articles on topics such as climate change impacts on fragile communities; biodiversity; public health etc. #standupforscience 1/

🌿✨ Exciting news! ✨🌿 Thrilled to share knowledge with an amazing group of top-leading scientists at a workshop on temporary ponds 💧—fascinating, fragile ecosystems full of biodiversity and ecological value. #TemporaryPonds #Ecology #Workshop #Conservation

Happy to contribute to this publication, led by Danish Ahmed & Phillip Haubrock, with many coauthors incl. @alebortolus.bsky.social l @oldenfish.bsky.social @canobarbacil.bsky.social il.bsky.social @martin-nunez.bsky.social @jan-honza-pergl.bsky.social @franzessl1.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/brv....

Sync in richness decreases with spatial, environmental, and functional distance; but sync in biomass only is induced by functional similarity. The decrease in stability with sync indicates that preserving large and heterogeneous ecosystems is essential to ensure their stability, pls repost!
