The calm before the storm — soon these PCs 💻 will be filled with students tackling their Biology exams @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social 🧬. Good luck everyone 🍀🤞!

We won the #Frontiersplanetprize in the national category of Germany for breakthrough in sustainability with our gravel pit study in #science www.igb-berlin.de/news/robert-...

We received the Frontiers Planet Prize (National Champion level) for our 2023 @science.org paper by @radingerj.bsky.social et al. on restoring lake fish through habitat enhancement rather than stocking. What a special moment. Honored like a school boy.

Wir suchen Verstärkung! Der Fachbereich Wasser, Umwelt, Bau & Sicherheit an der @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social schreibt eine Stelle als #Lehrkraft für besondere Aufgaben (LfbA) im Bereich naturwissenschaftlich-technische Grundlagen aus. Details unter: karriere.h2.de/jobposting/c...

Nicht nur Bücher, Computer und Hörsäle: In #Magdeburg kann man #Wasserwirtschaft, #Ingenieurökologie und #WaterEngineering herrlich praxisnah studieren.

Wir werden dich vermissen Brickerl

Today was field trip day with the international students of the StREaM program @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social. Sunny weather, motivated students (and professor) and cool organisms. #SpinedLoach #Fish #Macroinvertebrates

Just got featured in the regional/local newspaper Volksstimme! So now pretty much all of #Magdeburg knows there's a fishy Austrian in town 😂

📢 We are hiring! Are you passionate about #ecology & creative #sciencecommunication? Join us as Social Media Officer for the #GfÖ & our journal #BAAE 🌿 Check our call below 📅 Apply by 1 July 2025 Join us & make ecology visible! @gfoesoc.bsky.social @basicapplecol.bsky.social #EcologyJobs #SciComm

How do fish evolve to tolerate higher temperatures, and are there trade-offs? We explore these questions in our new paper @natclimate.nature.com led by Anna Andreassen @annahandreassen.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🐟🦑

Today was our final day of field work with water management students from @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social in the #Harz mountains. After yesterday's success we were able to complete the species list of the native #fish fauna in our study brook today: A beautiful young brown trout and a bullhead.

Day #2 in the field: Again, we found many interesting species (even a few young brook #lamprey) and successfully conducted a very basic assessment of the brook's ecological status #Uhlenbach #Harz #Macroinvertebrates #Lampetra

In the field with students in the #Harz mountains - 3 days macro invertebrates sampling (not exclusively). Motivated students, perfect weather, brilliant colleagues and lots of interesting organisms. #hydrobiology 🧪

Study & paper led by the great @canobarbacil.bsky.social !

From my series on Exploring Nearby #Water Bodies – No. 3: Alte #Elbe in Magdeburg...a very sandy and shallow side channel of the main Elbe river. Pretty low water levels at the moment.

Today's #fieldwork along the food web: Collected #fish samples (perch and roach) from a local fisherman for aging analyses (scales & opercula), then took #plankton samples from the #Elbe for tomorrow's hydrobiology class. #AquaticEcology

Exploring Nearby #Water Bodies – No. 2 This morning, I had the opportunity to visit the Umflutehle, a small lotic water body located near @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social. This location will serve as a field site for our student sampling campaign on #macroinvertebrates and #fish later this spring.

🏆 Wir gratulieren Robert Arlinghaus (@rarlinghausfish.bsky.social) & Johannes Radinger (@radingerj.bsky.social), die zu den 19 Nationalen Champions des Frontiers Planet Prize zählen! Ausgezeichnet wurden sie für ihre Studie zur Förderung der #Fischbestände in #Seen: www.igb-berlin.de/news/robert-...

National Champion #Frontiersplanetprize for our gravel pit lake study in @science.org. So proud to be part of this amazing team and huge congrats to you Robert for your encouraging lead of this project. The original paper: doi.org/10.1126/scie... @leibnizigb.bsky.social @svenmatern.bsky.social

Using some spare minutes to check out nearby water bodies which might act as study objects in our #Hydrobiology class. Today the small lake Garnsee just around the corner @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social has definitely some fish, amphibians etc.

Darauf hab ich mich schon wochenlang gefreut. @tocotronicofficial.bsky.social in #Berlin aus dem Alter mit der Jugendbewegung bin ich nie raus

Busy days in my new position at @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social. Tuesdays mean hands-on #hydrobiology with our students. Today we jointly identified #aquatic macroinvertebrates (mayflies, caddisflies etc). Great fun and a nice way to reconnect with roots of my own studies at @boku-ihg.bsky.social

Important call: On the relevance of individual based approaches in studying climate change related responses. Also reminds me of my latest research proposal, let's see how the review for this one turns out. 🫣

Check out our new paper on potentially #invasive loaches led by @canobarbacil.bsky.social. Loaches are cool creatures - especially the native weatherfish Misgurnus fossilis, a 'farting' #fish. Great work Carlos!

🚨 NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 Exciting news to wrap up the week! 🧪 Our latest study on the invasive potential of two popular Asian loaches in the pet trade is now published in #FreshwaterBiology! 🐟🌐 Check it out! 🔗 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #SciFish @radingerj.bsky.social @sgn.one

Unordnung im Kinderzimmer? Unbedingt – zumindest wenn es um #Flussfische geht. Die sind während ihres Wachstums auf vernetzte #Auen und unterschiedliche Lebensraumtypen angewiesen.

When scientific results support a prior belief, communicating uncertainty lowers trust in the results, but when results contradict a prior belief, communicating uncertainty can make the message feel less oppositional, increasing trust. In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Science isn’t just technical—it’s shaped by the institutions that fund, publish, and evaluate it. A new PNAS Special Feature explores how bureaucracy, rigid funding, and overregulation limit scientific freedom and innovation. Read the blog post: www.pnas.org/post/update/...

We need free-flowing rivers! “Giving rivers more room to move can represent a mutually beneficial solution for both the freshwater biodiversity crisis and flood hazard management as climate-driven extremes escalate.” www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Happy to share that our paper "How quota cuts, recreational fishing, and predator conservation can shape coastal commercial fishery efforts" is finally published in CJFAS, with @rarlinghausfish.bsky.social, Sean Pascoe, Birgit Gassler and Simon Weltersbach cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10....

Invasion ecology is replete with a body of well-supported yet contradictory evidence for numerous invasion hypotheses, likely as a result of context dependency. Just published in DDI we explore the indirect effects & context dependencies in fish invasions. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
