📢 New paper out on the effects of Arundo donax on riverine fish: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🌊 Eugènia Martí, researcher at #CEAB, has been named a Fellow of the Society for Freshwater Science for her outstanding contributions to limnology worldwide.  She’ll be honored at #SFS2025 in Puerto Rico 👏🌍 

L’estiu de 2023 va marcar un abans i un després amb l’entrada en vigor de la Llei Europea de Restauració de la Natura. Per primer cop, els estats membres de la UE tenen l’obligació de recuperar espais naturals degradats. Com afecta això la recerca i la gestió del territori? Demà en sabrem més!

🌱 Jornada IRBio 2025: Restauració Ecològica 🌱 En el marc del Decenni de les Nacions Unides sobre la Restauració dels Ecosistemes, parlarem de com prevenir, aturar i revertir la degradació dels ecosistemes terrestres i marins! 📍 @biologiaub.bsky.social 💡 Inscripcions al dinar a través del QR.

Today we've had a truly inspiring encounter! A packed Aula Magna at @biologiaub.bsky.social has listened intently Davi Kopenawa. His powerful message about protecting the Amazon and indigenous rights resonated deeply.

Zebra mussel invasion can elevate mercury concentrations in fish by 1) altering fish foraging patterns, and 2) promoting microbial communities capable of methylating inorganic mercury. Fish tissue Hg is 72%–157% higher in lakes with zebra mussels. #bioinvasions www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Protecting our rivers means understanding the power of nature. Despite the high water flow, riparian vegetation prevents soil erosion, safeguarding water quality and creating wildlife habitats. Nature-Based Solution made in Cruz do Incio, Lugo, Galicia.

📢NEW paper out: We reveal the explosive growth of ornamental fish trade since WWII! Over 7900 species now traded, dominated by catfish, cichlids, killifish & characids. We explore this boom through a socio-economic lens since the end of the Cold War: shorturl.at/3vYtQ

📢 Happy #WorldsWetlandsDay! Today is a day to celebrate the vital role wetlands play including those human-made (📸👇). ➡️ At the @ub.edu, our #NaturBPond project explores how naturalized ponds in cities boost biodiversity & provide key ecosystem services. #WWD2025 #UrbanEcology #NBS #UrbanPonds

📢 ¡Atención! El Congreso Ibérico de Especies Exóticas Invasoras (EEI 2025) se celebrará en Murcia, del 28 al 30 de mayo de 2025. No te pierdas esta gran oportunidad de conocer los avances más recientes sobre especies invasoras. ¡Las inscripciones abren el 1 de noviembre! 🗓️📍https://shorturl.at/kKIIG

Nature cannot be studied solely through desk work. Field knowledge is indispensable for ensuring that research and environmental management remain grounded in the reality of the natural world. www.cell.com/trends/ecolo...

24% of freshwater fauna threatened with extinction ! 👉 By Sayer et al. Jan 2025 in Nature www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🔑 Multi-taxon global IUCN red list freshwater fauna (23,496 species) assessment shows that pollution, dams, water extraction, agriculture and invasion are the main threats. 🌐🌍

Worrying IUCN report. Really want to save our freshwater fishes? Focus on habitat restoration! 🏞🐟💧Good water quality and healthy habitats are key. Let native fish swim freely and nature will do the rest. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

After popular demand, we have extended the deadline for abstract submission until 17th JANUARY 2025. Don't miss this opportunity!! See you in #AEETSIBECOL2025
