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

An experiment into the impacts of the invasive mosquitofish on the threatened Spanish toothcarp reveal that water quality impairment and resource competition are significant factors.

Invasive mosquitofish impact a threatened toothcarp through water quality impairment and resource competition

Invasive non-native species are an important cause of biodiversity loss, particularly in fresh waters. The mosquitofish Gambusia holbrooki are among the world’s worst invasive species: they have cause...

📢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.
