Contrary to previous assumptions, the warming of lakes tends to amplify their richness or poverty of phytoplankton. Lakes which are green become greener, blue lakes become even bluer. 6 September 2017 press release Giant bacterium contains genomes for an entire population It is known that some sulphur bacteria such as Achromatium oxaliferum can be extremely large and may contain several genome copies. But the fact that a single bacterial cell harbours hundreds of different(!) genomes is new – brand new. 31 July 2017 press release New ranking: Which invasive species are most harmful to us? A new socioeconomic classification system classifies invasive species according to their direct impact on people's lives and shows which species should be controlled as priority. 28 July 2017 press release Night sky often brighter than expected Earlier studies focused mainly on the night sky directly over our heads. Using a simple measurement method, researchers can now demonstrate the distribution of light pollution over the entire sky. 23 June 2017 press release Understanding animal social networks can aid wildlife conservation The usefulness of animal social network analysis as a conservation tool has not yet been addressed.
