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. 17 July 2020 press release Where is the water during a drought? Using the example of the drought-sensitive Demnitzer Mühlenfließ in Brandenburg Dörthe Tetzlaff and her team quantified visible and invisible water flows during and shortly after the drought of 2018. 9 July 2020 press release Born to be a cannibal Heiner Kuhl has described the genome of four mandarin fish species and thus also identified genes for cannibalistic eating behaviour. 16 June 2020 press release Cattle vs. hippopotamus: Dung in rivers of the savannah When hippos are displaced by large herds of cattle in Kenya, aquatic ecosystems change. Gabriel Singer and team therefore took a close look at the dung of hippopotamus and cattle: the differences in amount and type of the input are significant. 11 June 2020 press release The disease pyramid: environment, pathogen, individual and microbiome A team led by Adeline Loyau uses amphibians as an example to show how the body’s own microbial colonisation influences the interactions between living organisms, the environment and pathogens. This is basic research for health prophylaxis. Pagination First page « First Previous page ‹‹ … Page 15 Page 16 Current page 17 Page 18 Page 19 … Next page ›› Last page Last »
