Strategic choices of attack location allow predators to counter a collective prey defence
Shoals of sulphur mollies blanket the water surface of toxic sulphur springs in Mexico. The tiny fish survive attacks of birds through creating collective waves. New research now shows that their avian predators are adapting too, changing where they attack to avoid triggering the fish’s powerful group defence. The fish, in turn, appear to fight back with a surprising form of collective “memory.”
A collaborative research agenda for restoring free-flowing rivers
The Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR) calls for restoring at least 25,000 kilometres of free-flowing rivers by 2030. Translating this ambition into implementation remains challenging due to differing restoration priorities across ecological, social, economic and governance contexts. This study offers a roadmap to support the implementation of the NRR's goal of restoring free-flowing rivers.

Persistent inequities in global lake science
The study shows that, of the approximately 2,500 lakes that had been scientifically investigated by 2020, around 50 per cent were located in North America, 21 per cent in Asia, and 16 per cent in Europe. In contrast, lakes in Africa, South America and Oceania have been much less researched.
