In our new review in WIREs WATER, we synthesize knowledge on ecosystem (dis)services, multifunctionality, and trade‐offs in urban ponds and highlight garden ponds as a specific subtype that deserves more attention 🏙️🔵🏡 doi.org/10.1002/wat2... @epcn.bsky.social

Often overlooked, small water bodies - streams, damp ditches, small bogs, ponds - support more rare species compared with larger habitats while high-quality ponds support about 2/3 of all freshwater plant + animal species in a landscape. 🧵 1/4 freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/news/start-w...

Heartbreaking truth: At just 1.5°C of #warming (where we already are), 70–90% of #CoralReefs could vanish. At 2.0°C, almost all (>99%) are gone. We’re watching a living wonder cross a #TippingPoint. #MarineEcology 🧪🌍🌐🌊🔥

More moments from the Community & Stress Ecology workshop at the University of South Bohemia! 🌿 Great energy from participants, insightful presentations, and a sunny group visit to the mesocosm platform. #ClimateChange #StressEcology #EarlyCareerResearchers #Networking

Looking for openly available: - before-after data in space - with a restoration measure inbetween (e.g. dam/invasive spec. removal, urban green space creation...) - min. 10 sites (quadrats / random places along a stream / ponds...) - species data, env. data of some sort, GPS coordinates

On the International Day of Women and Girls in Science: I am proud & grateful to work with all these smart, dedicated, inspired and enthusiastic women in my lab! @schneiderbea.bsky.social @hhuong152.bsky.social @zsuzsimrton.bsky.social @bartabarbara.bsky.social & others not on Bsky

Out now in @nature.com! Our comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation interventions that could mitigate this process www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪🌍🦤🧬 #consgen #PopGen

Excellent new review from @weatherwest.bsky.social @climate-guy.bsky.social @manuelaibrunner.bsky.social @climatechirper.bsky.social on one of the most useful organizing concepts I've run across for understanding climate impacts on extreme events - the "expanding atmospheric sponge" 1/🧵

Bad news for climate just announced! In 2024, Earth's average temperature temporarily exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. This breach highlights accelerating climate risks - toward the end of the "safe zone" defined by the Paris Agreement.🧪🌐🌍 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I started gathering a list for REUs/Summer research opportunities for undergraduate students in Ecology/Conservation/Evolutionary Biology. Feel share to share with any undergraduate students who may be interested in participating in *PAID* research. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

A summary of me in 2024

With @schneiderbea.bsky.social @csabavad.bsky.social @zsuzsimrton.bsky.social @hhuong152.bsky.social and others, we showed how connectivity loss affects metacommunities with results from a 4-month long mesocosm experiment just published in @globalchangebio.bsky.social ! shorturl.at/9o9ak

Last week we released 11 endangered northwestern pond turtles back into the wild with the help of conservation partners. Turtle power! 🐢
