This is one of the worst news for Europe's nature in recent decades. #LIFE+ projects have been among the most successful instruments of the EU, and the only one fully dedicated to nature conservation and recovery.

💧 Maria Warter is launching her project ‘Water-conscious cities of the future’. Her junior research group wants to investigate how urban waters respond to human intervention and how restoration measures improve biodiversity, water quality and urban life. 🌿

Ich glaun nicht, dass es primär darum geht. Es ist eher das diffuse Gefühl, der Staat verlöre die Kontrolle. Zerbröselnde Infrastruktur, keine Investitionen und vor allem keine Aussicht darauf, dass sich das in diesen hochverschuldeten Städten jemals ändert.

Alle, die jemals in HA, DU und GE waren, wundert es nicht, dass dort die AfD so stark ist. Zum Glück jeweils starke, charismatische Gegenkandidat(inn)en. Das hilft immer. Und die Städte nicht so verarmen zu lassen bzw. sie jetzt zu entschulden, würde auch helfen.

Exciting collaboration with colleagues from the US and Frederik de Laender - lead by S. Rumschlag and Mike Mahon - on how climate change has lead to alterations in US fish diversity over the last decades. Paper just out: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Diverging fish biodiversity trends in cold and warm rivers and streams - Nature

In the past three decades, fish abundance, richness and uniqueness have diverged across cold and warm streams, and the effects on native fish communities of stream warming and increases in introduced fishes have magnified each other.

I think it is logical that the cumulative # of citations increases with age, as well as the average # of papers increases with group size (~ age). Question is when we have had our best ideas. In my case probalby between 30 and 40.

In Soraluze (Basque Country, Spain), one more river barrier is coming down. As part of the EU MERLIN project, this weir removal opens the way for fish, fresh flows, and a healthier river. Step by step, continuity is being restored!

Obwohl ich es ja weiß, bin ich immer wieder schockiert, dass wirklich fast alle verdammten Senken in der Agrarlandschaft an die #Entwässerung angeschlossen sind.

Hier 👇 n Beispiel.
(und das sind nur die gewidmeten Gräben & Rohrleitungen, d.h. die ungewidmeten + Drainagen sind da nicht mal drin.😐)

Null results matter, but too often, they never see the light of day.

When journals only publish splashy findings, we lose valuable science.

That's why I'm excited about 2-pagers at @StacksJournal.bsky.social. Streamlined publishing for results that deserve to be shared.

Researchers value null results, but struggle to publish them

Survey finds that fear of reputational harm and a lack of support and publication platforms are among respondents’ key concerns.
