3/ Overcoming spatio-temporal constraints is important, because: 🔹 Restoration is a prolonged process which typically occurs at large spatial scales, 🔹 Connectivity is important in ecological recovery.

2/Mesocosms have mostly been used to quantify impacts of environmental threats, but there's largely untapped potential in using them to test solutions! We explore the opportunities that mesocosms offer in providing controlled, realistic and replicable environments for investigating novel solutions.

How can mesocosms help tackle grand ecological challenges in aquatic ecosystems? 🌊🌍 Check out our open-access Oikos Forum article, out today: 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/oik.... @oikosjournal.bsky.social

Excited to share our new paper on garden pond biodiversity 🐸🐦‍⬛ resulting from our citizen science project MyPond. Dive into the details here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @bartabarbara.bsky.social @csabavad.bsky.social @schneiderbea.bsky.social @zsofiahorvath.bsky.social

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it gets taken for granted & consequently no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you will have less & less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

A preview of Part 1 of my book "An Editor's Guide to Writing and Publishing Science" is now freely available on Google Books shorturl.at/0xo93 If you like this preview, consider buying the book. If you can't afford the book, then contact me and I'll send it to you for free.

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

Relative strength of drivers might differ for the structure of metacommunities and metapopulations within the same landscape 🔵🪁🔵 We have provided the first empirical evidence for this with Daphnia magna and Cladocera metacommunities! 🧬🧪🔬
