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🙌🏻

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

Degrading Waterscapes and Decaying Diversities: Assessing Habitat Loss and Fragmentation Consequences on Simulated Diversity Patterns Across European Freshwater Ecoregions Aim Aquatic landscapes face severe threats from human activities propelling their deterioration. Waterscape degradation represents a main driver of the current diversity crisis, but its large-scale ...

📢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! 👇🏽

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.

Insightful talk today by @oldenfish.bsky.social @uwsafs.bsky.social at @iea-udg.bsky.social @univgirona.bsky.social on bounty programs as a management strategy for native and non-native species

Part of our team is attending the 14th International Temperate Reef Symposium (ITRS) in Brest!

Thrilled to coauthor this study in Limnology & Oceanography.
🎯 We studied how plastics and bioplastics affect microbial communities and ecosystem function in a pristine mountain stream.

This week the @greco-udg.bsky.social team is at @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social showing our reserch

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!!!

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! 🕹️
