This time, the team of soulbottles was our guest. 20 August 2019 short news A new look for the information portal Aquakulturinfo.de Aquaculture is the fastest growing area of food production in the world – one of the reasons why it is the subject of controversial debate in society and politics. The information portal Aquakulturinfo.de provides objective and research-based information on aquaculture. 12 August 2019 insight Light or heavy oxygen? In order to characterise a lake comprehensively, it is also necessary to understand the material flows. Dr. Alexander Frank from the GeoZentrum Nordbayern at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg is particularly interested in oxygen fluxes. 8 August 2019 press release 88 percent decline of big freshwater animals IGB scientists have quantified the global decline of big freshwater animals: From 1970 to 2012, global populations of freshwater megafauna declined by 88 percent. Large fish species are particularly affected. 5 August 2019 insight Exploring the water quality of lakes from a distance A number of scientists from Spain, Australia, England and the USA, whose special interest lies in remote sensing, have joined the limnologists permanently working at the LakeLab for an experiment. 2 August 2019 short news River Management – It’s the Mix that Matters IGB scientists Sonja Jähnig and Michael Monaghan point out the complexity of natural ecosystems and their multiple stressors, in reply to a recent comment piece in Nature on river management. 1 August 2019 short news Open Call for Citizen Science Projects on Pollution ACTION supports citizen science projects working on pollution of all kinds, such as water, air or light pollution. IGB will be coordinating the ACTION Accelerator programme. Apply till 31st October 2019! 1 August 2019 short news LakeLab: River-lake systems in focus Aquatic ecosystems suffer disproportionately from anthropogenic pressure and the effects of climate change. According to the EU Water Framework Directive, lakes along river systems in particular are currently in poor ecological condition. How similar are lakes that are more or less strongly connected by rivers and how do algal blooms spread along lake chains? These and other questions are being investigated by an IGB research team led by Stella Berger and Sabine Wollrab together with other partners from remote sensing and landscape ecology. 30 July 2019 insight Permanent professorship for IGB/FU researcher Jonathan Jeschke Jonathan Jeschke has passed the five-year “Heisenberg test”, and has now been appointed to a permanent professorship. He embarked on his research into biological invasions with his Ecological Novelty research group at both the IGB and FU Berlin in 2014. 25 July 2019 focus Big Fish = Bold Fish? An IGB study partially refutes the pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis. Ex-IGB doctoral student Giovanni Polverino, was able to show that the pace-of-life syndrome, much discussed in biology at present, does not appear under all conditions.
