River greenhouse gas emissions are highest in areas where Siberian permafrost is actively thawing. 5 September 2018 press release Reducing nitrogen inputs prevents algal blooms in lakes Scientists from IGB have analysed long-term data to prove that decreasing nitrogen in Berlin’s Lake Müggelsee is the key to reducing algal blooms in summer. 3 July 2018 press release Spearfishing makes fishes more timid Fisheries scientists have studied the response of fish in the Mediterranean Sea to spearfishing. The fish are able to finely discriminate if divers carry a speargun or not and adjust their escape behaviour. 19 June 2018 press release Light pollution a reason for insect decline!? Climate change, pesticides and land use changes alone cannot fully explain the decline in insect populations in Germany. Artificial lighting at night could be another reason for declining insect populations. 5 June 2018 press release What the size distribution of organisms tells us about the energetic efficiency of a lake The relationship between energy efficiency in the food web and size distribution allows a better and more direct understanding of biological processes and disturbances that impact aquatic ecosystems. 23 May 2018 press release Genetic diversity helps protect against disease Diversity is the key: IGB researchers have demonstrated experimentally that genetic diversity makes populations more resistant to disease. 26 April 2018 press release When lakes start to sweat Rising temperatures are a threat to the balance of lakes. In a new IGB Dossier, researchers provide a summary of the changes that lakes are already undergoing and of the scenarios that are likely to occur. 19 February 2018 press release Distantly related Researchers have just published an extensive phylogenetic tree for the Eurasian green toads. This phylogenetic tree shows that polyploid species are hybrids and only descend from parental species with a very high degree of genetic divergence. 5 February 2018 press release An underestimated threat: land-based pollution with microplastics Researchers warn: the impact of microplastics in soils, sediments and the freshwaters could have a long-term negative effect on terrestrial ecosystems throughout the world.
