The calm before the storm — soon these PCs 💻 will be filled with students tackling their Biology exams @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social 🧬. Good luck everyone 🍀🤞!

Robert Arlinghaus ist National Champion des Frontiers Planet Prize

We won the #Frontiersplanetprize in the national category of Germany for breakthrough in sustainability with our gravel pit study in #science www.igb-berlin.de/news/robert-...

We received the Frontiers Planet Prize (National Champion level) for our 2023 @science.org paper by @radingerj.bsky.social et al. on restoring lake fish through habitat enhancement rather than stocking. What a special moment. Honored like a school boy.

Today was field trip day with the international students of the StREaM program @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social. Sunny weather, motivated students (and professor) and cool organisms. #SpinedLoach #Fish #Macroinvertebrates

Just got featured in the regional/local newspaper Volksstimme! So now pretty much all of #Magdeburg knows there's a fishy Austrian in town 😂

How do fish evolve to tolerate higher temperatures, and are there trade-offs? We explore these questions in our new paper

Today was our final day of field work with water management students from @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social in the #Harz mountains. After yesterday's success we were able to complete the species list of the native #fish fauna in our study brook today: A beautiful young brown trout and a bullhead.

Day #2 in the field: Again, we found many interesting species (even a few young brook #lamprey) and successfully conducted a very basic assessment of the brook's ecological status #Uhlenbach #Harz #Macroinvertebrates #Lampetra

In the field with students in the #Harz mountains - 3 days macro invertebrates sampling (not exclusively). Motivated students, perfect weather, brilliant colleagues and lots of interesting organisms. #hydrobiology 🧪

Study & paper led by the great @canobarbacil.bsky.social !

From my series on Exploring Nearby #Water Bodies – No. 3: Alte #Elbe in Magdeburg...a very sandy and shallow side channel of the main Elbe river. Pretty low water levels at the moment.

Today's #fieldwork along the food web: Collected #fish samples (perch and roach) from a local fisherman for aging analyses (scales & opercula), then took #plankton samples from the #Elbe for tomorrow's hydrobiology class. #AquaticEcology

Exploring Nearby #Water Bodies – No. 2
This morning, I had the opportunity to visit the Umflutehle, a small lotic water body located near @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social. This location will serve as a field site for our student sampling campaign on #macroinvertebrates and #fish later this spring.

Using some spare minutes to check out nearby water bodies which might act as study objects in our #Hydrobiology class. Today the small lake Garnsee just around the corner @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social has definitely some fish, amphibians etc.

Darauf hab ich mich schon wochenlang gefreut. @tocotronicofficial.bsky.social in #Berlin aus dem Alter mit der Jugendbewegung bin ich nie raus

Busy days in my new position at @hsmagdeburgstendal.bsky.social. Tuesdays mean hands-on #hydrobiology with our students. Today we jointly identified #aquatic macroinvertebrates (mayflies, caddisflies etc). Great fun and a nice way to reconnect with roots of my own studies at @boku-ihg.bsky.social

Important call: On the relevance of individual based approaches in studying climate change related responses. Also reminds me of my latest research proposal, let's see how the review for this one turns out. 🫣
