Main day at our conference Facial expression analysis revealed a 94% smile rate, not bad. Sounds like ENLIGHT lived up to its name.

Thank you all for being a part of it.
P.S. smiles were not produced by either AI or coercion. The guy in the middle with checkered shirt was excluded from analysis.

Big news, since a recent study showed that amphib conservation is serially underfunded. The TLDR of this are calls for:
-updated conservation guidelines
-govts to implement long term national plans
-funding research

New paper: #lightpollution suppresses diel migration in #Daphnia, but no detectable difference between urban and rural populations. rdcu.be/eNVwb
So no adaptation to light pollution? We discuss different plausible explanations for this lack of differentiation.

Last day #sebconference .Talk by Nedim TΓΌzΓΌn on effects of #lightpollution on Daphnia and it's parasite.
- flatworms decrease abundance of Daphnia under #ALAN,
- question that remains how can this reflect on food chain of urban freshwater ecosystem, already under anthropogenic pressure?
