Thrilled to share our new article published in Hydrobiologia!🎉 We found that hydrological connectivity, rather than pond age, was the key driver of community assembly in coastal ponds. Many thanks to the co-authors🙌🏻 📃: doi.org/10.1007/s107... @iea-udg.bsky.social @greco-udg.bsky.social

📢 Us convidem a la lectura de la tesi doctoral Integrating Ecological Complexity and Physiological Traits into Environmental Risk Assessments Per Amina Khalid 🗓️ 5 de setembre de 2025 · 11.00 h 📍 Aula Magna, Facultat de Ciències 👉 També on-line: teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-joi...

🚨 New paper out! 🚨 📍 In our latest "Diversity and Distributions" study, led by Ismael Soto, we reveal that over 1,200 non-native species are already established across the Iberian Peninsula 📄 Read it here 👉 doi.org/10.1111/ddi.... #invasivespecies

📢Amazing August news 📢 Our final work within the #Ponderful project was published in #GlobalEcology&Biogeography journal. We explore the link between waterscape degradation and diversity decay trends using satellite images and metacommunity stimulations! 👇🏽 doi.org/10.1111/geb....

An experiment into the impacts of the invasive mosquitofish on the threatened Spanish toothcarp reveal that water quality impairment and resource competition are significant factors. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neob... @irene-gil-luna.bsky.social ‬ @garciaberthou.bsky.social

We’re looking for an Assistant Professor in Physical Climate Science. Apply and join a great interdisciplinary Department! @natureatcal.bsky.social @agu.org @freshwaterscience.bsky.social #academicjobs aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05084

The experiment also demonstrated that the interspecific effects of mosquitofish on toothcarp were more important than those of intraspecific competition. The invasive species produced effects on population growth rate, size structure, and fish condition (mass-length relationship) of toothcarp.

The diversity of effects of mosquitofish underscores the difficulty of predicting the impact of #bioinvasions. We further provide an approach to differentiate the effects of resource competition from other more direct ecological interactions & so to clarify the impact mechanism of #bioinvasions. 🌎

Proud of this #OpenAccess paper where we experimentally show that invasive Gambusia impacts a threatened cyprinodontiform fish through water quality degradation and competition. Led by @irene-gil-luna.bsky.social, Lluís Zamora and myself @greco-udg.bsky.social @iea-udg.bsky.social. #bioinvasions

How is soil functioning shaped by aridity? 🌲🌵 We studied this along a natural aridity gradient. 📌 Microbial structure shifted with aridity, but soil functions were mainly driven by local soil properties. 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.ap... Huge thanks to all coauthors 🫶

Our PhD student, Anna Equisuany, is back in the lab after successfully presenting #SFS2025 results showing that different types of fragmentation impact biodiversity — both taxonomically and functionally. Yes, fragmentation type does matter!!! #funMETANET

Thrilled to have joined the workshop “CONSERVING AND RESTORING TEMPORARY POND LANDSCAPES IN EUROPE.” Huge thanks to Poli and Marga for the invite! It was the best workshop I’ve attended in years—fantastic to exchange ideas and reconnect with colleagues and friends I hadn’t seen in so long!!!

🎉 The video game inspired on our research #funMETANET is finally out! Huge thanks to #CientífiksenJoc and the talented students from #St.George.School who designed it. To play it in English—switch the language setting before starting. Available to play on computer! 🕹️ gencat.cat/recercaiuniv...
