Extreme and compound events in lakes Nature Reviews Earth & Environment, Published online: 19 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s43017-025-00710-wExtreme and compound events in lakes are increasing in severity and frequency in response to climate change and basin-scale anthropogenic stressors. This Review explores the occurrence, drivers and impact of such events, focusing on their physical and ecological drivers, impacts and management responses.

Species loss in key habitats accelerates regional food web disruption - Communications Biology Simulating extinctions across regional food webs reveals that losing species from one habitat— especially wetlands—can cascade to others, accelerating multi-habitat food web collapse, highlighting the...

🚨 Hot off the press! We show that species loss from key habitats (like wetlands) accelerates secondary extinction in regional multi-habitat food webs. Also, we show the importance of common species to regional food web robustness. doi.org/10.1038/s420...

From drinking water and food security to biodiversity, jobs and climate resilience, lakes are essential to people and the planet.

But pollution, overuse, and warming threaten them.

Without action, the value of lake ecosystem services could drop by up to 20% by 2050: www.unep.org/interactives...

PhD Advertisement that reads: I am recruiting a PhD student to join MacroSize, a new international research network advancing hypotheses and theories on intraspecific body size variability in fish. The selected candidate will co-develop the project, analyze large datasets, and collaborate closely with MacroSize members, including co-leads Pablo Tedesco, Ignasi Arranz, Xingli Giam, and Juan Carvajal-Quintero. To apply, Send your CV and a motivation letter to juan.carvajal@dal.ca. Applications are open now and will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Start date September 2025 (flexible).

PhD project alert! 🚨 I'm recruiting a PhD student to join my lab and the MacroSize network to investigate the trends, patterns, and processes driving intraspecific variation in fish body size in the Anthropocene. Exciting opportunity to explore ecological dynamics in a changing world! :) 🌎🐟🐠🐡

Land area of high ecological integrity according to a selection of nine maps (a) and national-level percentage of area of high ecological integrity (b), with bars ranging from 0% to 100%. Countries are grouped on the basis of their economic category in “developed,” “emerging,” “developing,” and “least developed.” Gray areas in the bar plots mean no integrity value according to any of the maps of high ecological integrity. We excluded countries with land area <10,000 km2 from the figure (n: 85).

Overlap among nine maps of high ecological integrity illustrating the agreement among the different maps analyzed (a), with zoom on West Canada (c) and the Congo basin (d); and the spatial overlap between structure-oriented (yellow) and composition-oriented (blue) approaches (b), with zoom on Scandinavia (e) and the Congo Basin (f).
