The plans violate current EU law and endanger not only the environment but also agriculture on both sides of the River Oder. 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. 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. 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. The study in Science with Luc De Meester outlines the scientific basis for redesigning the new set of biodiversity goals. 12 October 2020 press release 14 Recommendations for the protection of freshwater biodiversity beyond 2020 Freshwater ecosystems are under-prioritised relative to marine or terrestrial systems, although they are disproportionately at risk. 21 September 2020 press release Citizen science: research project on light pollution seeks support What effect does street lighting have on insects and what could an environment-friendly lighting design look like? This is what researchers are investigating together with citizen scientists in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hesse and Brandenburg. 16 September 2020 press release You want to be a leader? You’ve got to be fast! David Bierbach and Jens Krause show that animals’ speed is fundamental for collective behavioral patterns, and that ultimately it is the faster individuals that have the strongest influence on group-level behavior. 14 September 2020 press release Dams exacerbate the consequences of climate change on river fish Dams restrict the habitats of fish, but do not necessarily prevent the spread of invasive species. This has been discovered by Johannes Radinger and his spanish colleague. 1 September 2020 press release Latest IGB Policy Brief: Does sustainable aquaculture in Germany have a future? The new IGB Policy Brief highlights opportunities and challenges. Our researchers recommend a fundamental debate in politics and society.
