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. 4 September 2017 insight Being prepared for epidemical outbreaks IGB scientists are now part of the “rapid deployment expert group to combat health threats”, which shall enable a faster international response to outbreaks of infectious diseases. 23 August 2017 short news Dead wood – living diversity The team of the IGB project Baggersee is currently working on various quarry ponds in Lower Saxony: the researchers are particularly attracted by dead wood. 9 August 2017 short news Too many aquatic plants in the lake? For several years, scientists and swimmers have observed a great increase in the number of aquatic plants in the Müggelsee. Whoever looks closely, also sees that the lake is currently very clear. 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.
