Next EPCN Webinar on Mountain ponds, introduced by Dr. Lena Fehlinger. The follow-up talk titled "Mountain Ponds and Climate Change: Thr CIMaE Project" is held by Dr. Marie Lamouille-Hebert, whose research focuses on mountain ponds, particularly aspects related to water permanence, climate change scenarios, and their implications for biodiversity.

Join the first EPCN webinar of 2026! 🌿💧

📅 18 May | ⏰ 11:00 CET
Topic: Mountain ponds

Featuring the new EPCN Mountain Pond WG by @lfehlinger.bsky.social & a talk on climate change impacts (CIMaE Project).

Increasing Functional or Phylogenetic Distance From Native Fish Communities Promotes Non‐Native Fish Invasions in Global Rivers Freshwater fish invasions severely threaten ecosystems and their underlying drivers remain a subject of ongoing inquiry in ecology. Here, we leveraged a comprehensive database with taxonomic, functio...

New paper out 🚀 masterfully led by Tao Xiang

What drives fish invasions globally?

We show that being different pays off: non-native species are more likely to establish when they are functionally or phylogenetically distinct from native ones.

Hydroregime-dependent shifts in zooplankton hatching under increasing temperatures in Mediterranean temporary ponds: an experimental approach - Hydrobiologia Zooplankton hatching is triggered by a series of environmental cues, and changes in these cues may alter hatching patterns. Our main objective was to assess how a 4 °C temperature increase influences ...

New paper from my group out in Ecology Letters, led by PhD student Daniel Hernández-Carrasco revealing a new method to account for the influence of community turnover along environmental gradients on compositional uniqueness.

Las autonomías frenan la declaración de la anguila como especie en peligro Los gobiernos de las comunidades han reclamado realizar más seguimientos y tener más datos científicos antes de prohibir su pesca y consumo

Lamentable: hay info suficiente lo que falta es voluntad para afrontar problemas difíciles pero importantes. Por desgracia, los intereses económicos de unos pocos siempre pasan por los problemas ambientales de tod@s 🥲

Point of no returns: researchers are crossing a threshold in the fight for funding With so little money to go round, the costs of competing for grants can exceed what the grants are worth. When that happens, nobody wins.

During & 2 years after the restoration of a scrubbed over farm #pond. A massive increase in biodiversity observed. Return of Great Crested Newt & appearance of the mega rare Tassel Stonewort. We can report on 100s of stories like this from Norfolk. Ponds should be a higher conservation priority
