Really happy to see this book is now published as I find Patrick's sci-illustration to be so engaging!

It makes me wish I was studying waterbodies in the US.

Book cover of 'Ponds, Pools and Puddles' by Jeremy Biggs and Penny Williams.

Chapter index (deceptively concise for such a knowledge packed book). The dispersal, colonisation and succession chapter could be it's own book. Brilliantly done imo

The book contains lots of tables and summaries of studies. Example in image shows a comparison of how scrub and sediment removal impacted bird species observed at a Norfolk farm.

'Ponds, Pools and Puddles' by @jeremybiggs.bsky.social and Penny Williams.

This book is an absolute TOME of knowledge (Index in Photos). Evolution, plant & animal communities. The dispersal & colonisation of communities sections could be a book all in itself! #WaterEcology
