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. 11 June 2020 insight 2 out of 3 at the SIL Student Competition 2020 This year’s winners are Fengzhi He, Mandy Velthuis and Nico Martyniuk. The International Society of Limnology awards the prize every two years for the three best publications in the field of limnology. 9 June 2020 press release Parasitic fungi keep harmful blue-green algae in check Ramsy Agha, Thijs Frenken and Justyna Wolinska found out that a fungal infestation makes cyanobacteria easier to digest for small aquatic organisms. 8 June 2020 short news Educational videos on lakes and climate change A new generation of scientists is teaching the next generation about lakes and climate change with MANTEL Pieces, a set of twelve short videos for 12-14 year olds. 1 May 2020 press release CO2 emissions from dry inland waters globally underestimated A team with Hans-Peter Grossart found out that in some cases more carbon dioxide is produced in the dry ground than in the water. 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.
