IGB will be coordinating the ACTION Accelerator programme. Apply till 31st October 2019! 1 August 2019 short news LakeLab: River-lake systems in focus Aquatic ecosystems suffer disproportionately from anthropogenic pressure and the effects of climate change. According to the EU Water Framework Directive, lakes along river systems in particular are currently in poor ecological condition. How similar are lakes that are more or less strongly connected by rivers and how do algal blooms spread along lake chains? These and other questions are being investigated by an IGB research team led by Stella Berger and Sabine Wollrab together with other partners from remote sensing and landscape ecology. 30 July 2019 insight Permanent professorship for IGB/FU researcher Jonathan Jeschke Jonathan Jeschke has passed the five-year “Heisenberg test”, and has now been appointed to a permanent professorship. He embarked on his research into biological invasions with his Ecological Novelty research group at both the IGB and FU Berlin in 2014. 25 July 2019 focus Big Fish = Bold Fish? An IGB study partially refutes the pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis. Ex-IGB doctoral student Giovanni Polverino, was able to show that the pace-of-life syndrome, much discussed in biology at present, does not appear under all conditions. 15 July 2019 insight IGB Acting Director Mark Gessner Receives Honorary Doctorate The Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier has awarded an honorary doctorate to Professor Dr. Mark Gessner for his scientific achievements in limnology. He has undertaken pioneering work on leaf litter breakdown in freshwater ecosystems. Congratulations! 12 July 2019 short news Research for Free Flowing Rivers The River Intellectuals bring together young committed people from science and conservation for river conservation in the Balkans.
