🌊 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!

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

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.

Extinction of experience among ecologists Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

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.

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.

🌐🌍

The threats managers can address are well-known. Time to take action: 🗣:
"Among freshwater decapods, fishes and odonates, 54% of threatened species are considered to be affected by #pollution, 39% by #dams and water extraction, 37% by #land-use #change"

One-quarter of freshwater fauna threatened with extinction - Nature A global multi-taxon extinction risk assessment of freshwater fauna for The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species finds one-quarter of species to be at high risk of extinction.

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.

After popular demand, we have extended the deadline for abstract submission until 17th JANUARY 2025.
