#SEBconference is underway! Many talks focus on the effects of #climate #warming and other stressors on aquatic animals. My colleague Claire Duchet presented our #mesocosm study linking individual responses to warming and #pharmaceuticals to changes in communities and ecosystem services.

An aerial image shows a landscape divided between lush green forest on the right and patchy agricultural land on the left. The road between the two areas runs vertically through the image. The text reads: "Call for Fellows: IPBES Spatial Planning Assessment. Deadline: 24 January 2025." The IPBES logo appears in the upper-right corner.
