Two new research methods – culturomics and iEcology – use the internet for this purpose. These approaches offer many opportunities, especially for the exploration of aquatic habitats. 24 November 2020 press release Discovery of a genetic sex marker in sturgeon Scientists led by IGB have discovered a molecular marker for sex determination in sturgeon. This is a significant breakthrough for evolutionary biology, for species conservation and for caviar-producing aquaculture. 20 November 2020 insight First Central Equal Opportunities Officer of the FVB The IGB junior researcher Marta Alirangues was elected by the entire female workforce of the Forschungsverbund Berlin (FVB) to be the first FVB Central Equal Opportunities Officer. With this newly created position, the FVB is considerably strengthening its equal opportunities work. 19 November 2020 press release Giant aquatic bacterium is a master of adaptation The largest freshwater bacterium, Achromatium oxaliferum, is highly flexible in its requirements, as Danny Ionescu has now discovered. 5 November 2020 short news Large predatory fish have difficulties to adjust after stocking Robert Arlinghaus' team has studied two predatory fish species, northern pike and European catfish, to determine whether the behavior and fitness of translocated fish differs from the behavior and fitness of the resident conspecifics. 30 October 2020 short news Citizen Science project honoured Our project "Species protection through environmentally friendly lighting" (AuBe) is particularly committed to the conservation of biological diversity. Now it has been awarded as an official project of the UN Decade of Biodiversity. 24 October 2020 press release Hydropower: the mortality risk for fish at turbines IGB has presented a procedure for the assessment of fish mortality at hydroelectric power plants. The researchers advise against subsidising small hydropower plants unless adequate fish protection is implemented. 23 October 2020 press release We need a safety net for biodiversity Not only species, but also their habitats and genetic diversity need ambitious, interlinked targets.
