How is a restored #watershed, formerly open sewers, recolonised by invertebrates? Which role play habitat development, #dispersal and #competition? Answers in our recent paper @svgillmann.bsky.social et al. in Ecological Processes. doi.org/10.1186/s137... @crc-resist.bsky.social #restoration #rivers

We seek PhD students fascinated by aquatic 🧫🦠🪱🦟🐟 who want to unravel tolerances, dispersal patterns and biotic interactions with field studies, field experiments, metagenomics, statistical and mechanistic models.

The last PhD defense of the year! 2024 was an all-time high with 8 defenses in the wider group. Svenja Gillmann with a great dissertation on the recolonisation of urban streams that were formerly open sewers (@crc-resist.bsky.social).

SFB 1439 RESIST wird verlängert 😀. Wir freuen uns auf die 2. Phase unserer Forschung zu multiplen Stressoren in Fließgewässern. sfb-resist.de @unidue.bsky.social @dfgpublic.bsky.social

#5 of our 2024 papers and (if I would need to choose) my personal favourite. Svenja could show that with time since restoration less dispersive, but more competitive species establish. doi.org/10.1016/j.sc... #rivers #multiplestressors #restoration
