We're thrilled to announce the 4th edition of our summer school on Blue-Green Biodiversity, a joint effort by @eawag.bsky.social & @wslresearch.bsky.social.
Join us in Davos to learn more about aquatic & terrestrial ecosystems from an interdisciplinary lens.

Ensuring that mountain ponds of different hydroperiod lengths exist in the same pondscapes will yield maximal biodiversity benefits - important considerations for conservation & management 💦

Temporary mountain ponds are vulnerable and highly important habitats for specialised species, that are only found in those small and transient water bodies 🏔️

Permanent mountain ponds support higher richness and abundances of macroinvertebrates than temporary ones - Hydrobiologia Mountain ponds are vulnerable to climate change, particularly because of their dependence on precipitation for inundation. Pond functioning, and survival of macroinvertebrate communities, is tied to w...

Good start into the new year - 2nd article of my PhD project just got published:

We found permanent mountain ponds to be critical for full macroinvertebrate community support, relevant insights in changing climates .. 💦💙

Amazing output for those #UrbanPond and #Pond lovers! Specially for the rising interest of #GardenPonds! Interesting insight can come out of them for moving towards "bluer" cities 🤞🏽

Take a look at it 👇🏽👇🏽, it is freshly baked!

EPCN Mountain Ponds Working Group We are planning to bring a new mountain ponds working group to life within the network of the EPCN (European Pond Conservation Network). For this purpose, we call a meeting for all people that are int...

(Mountain) Pond lovers, we are looking for you! Within the EPCN, we are organising a new working group on mountain ponds 💙🏔️ If you are interested to join or listen to the presentations, join our kick-off meeting on 29th of October!

Took a lot of dedication & energy from many people, but totally worth it.

Nutrients on the move: Investigating large scale fatty acid exports from European ponds via emerging insects Permanent ponds are key landscape units that supply various ecosystem services. Notably, the export of aquatic subsidies to land via emerging insects may significantly influence terrestrial food webs...

Stoked to announce that our work has found its home in Limnology&Oceanography @aslo.org - the project EUROPONDS started 5 years ago, what a journey. Curious to read about how aquatic insect fluxes behave across Europe? aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

El impacto de la actividad humana en la biodiversidad: “Tenemos que aprender a convivir y no destrozar todo” Un estudio global resume cómo las actividades humanas están poniendo en peligro a las especies del planeta.

A little while ago I got to talk about our paper in @nature.com with @mongabaylatam.bsky.social 🐸

Thanks @francoiskeck.bsky.social for leading this work!

Grateful to have been part of this team & that this exciting study is finally out there. May it help change our ways 💙
