What do invasive species do in water bodies? Sonja Jähnig and Christian Wolter in an interview with Juliane Grüning from the Deutscher Naturschutzring. 15 July 2021 insight Resource-saving research at IGB We cannot preach water and drink wine! Consequently, several teams at IGB have begun to analyse and address the different opportunities for savings and improvements in their areas of activity. 14 July 2021 press release New insights for species conservation Using water fleas, Luc De Meester showed that a population with a high amount of genetic variation can quickly adapt its behavioural and life-history traits to changes in the environment. 9 July 2021 short news Leibniz Research Network on the Anthropocene The IGB is also involved in the Leibniz research network "Integrated Earth System Research". Our competencies on aquatic biodiversity and the role of water bodies in the landscape tie in with pressing challenges such as species loss, land use conflicts and urbanisation. 8 July 2021 short news Urban water pollution is a major threat to groundwater and freshwater ecosystems IGB gives feedback on the revision of the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). 7 July 2021 focus Disease can also be something positive Justyna Wolinska and Ramsy Agha study organisms that until now have largely been consigned to the shadows in the scientific world: parasites. In the interview, the two scientists explain why it may be worthwhile to look for the good in what appears to be bad. 25 June 2021 focus Using ecosystem services to assess the impact and success of water management measures Conserving and restoring surface waters and their floodplains takes time and resources. But how can we assess whether a measure is worthwhile? Researchers at IGB recommend that ecosystem services should also be included when evaluating the success of measures in and along water bodies. 18 June 2021 short news German Water Science Alliance comments on the National Water Strategy The German Water Science Alliance appreciates the draft National Water Strategy of the Federal Ministry for the Environment. Today it has published a position paper addressing the challenges in research and implementation. 15 June 2021 insight “And then suddenly I became known as the long-term woman” Rita Adrian has been working as a climate impact expert at IGB for 28 years. Now she is going into retirement – well, almost. In an interview, she explains how she became a limnologist, and why she believes it is right to have a quota for women in science. 11 June 2021 press release Why do people support fish species conservation in European rivers? In Germany, the protection of fish is supported by general pro-ecological values and norms. In France, Sweden and Norway, on the other hand, native fish species have great influence on individual conservation-oriented behaviour.
