They also talk about why it is particularly interesting to work in a multidisciplinary team, and how this benefits the project. 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 short news IUCN EICAT standard launched The new EICAT standard is a simple and objective tool that classifies alien species by the severity and type of their known environmental impacts. 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. 31 August 2020 short news The Danube – all nice and blue? It crosses ten countries, running over 2,800 kilometres from source to mouth, is a border river, and has been used as a passage for trade for millennia: the Danube is a veritable transnational river – and a challenge for freshwater management. 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. 20 April 2020 insight A worldwide freshwater experiment in the time of corona Freshwater research is expecting – temporary – changes in man-made influences on aquatic ecosystems due to the global coronavirus shutdown. The International Society of Limnology (SIL) and IGB are calling to document these changes. 1 April 2020 insight IGB researcher Sonja Jähnig appointed Professor of Aquatic Ecogeography Sonja Jähnig was a successful candidate of the Leibniz Programme for Women Professors that is aimed at top women scientists, and has now been jointly appointed as professor by IGB and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. 24 January 2020 short news The importance of inland waters and their biodiversity The relevance of inland waters is underestimated: IGB gave feedback on the EU Roadmap for the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2030. 7 November 2019 press release Ecologically intact rivers are worth billions to European countries According to a study by Robert Arlinghaus, the willingness-to-pay per capita in Germany for ecologically intact rivers would be about 675 euros per year.
