📰🧪🔬A new paper presents how long-term adaptation to elevated temperatures influences competition among #cyanobacteria (Microcystis aeruginosa), #chlorophytes (Desmodesmus armatus), and #diatoms (Mayamaea permitis), in #microcosm and in lake #mesocosms
link.springer.com/article/10.1...
👉 #Mesocosms give researchers:
➡ Realistic conditions
➡ A large scale
➡ Replicates & controls
➡ Long-term experiments
➡ A better understanding of how biodiversity responds to environmental changes

Post doc Tanguy Soulié, University of Montpellier.
Staff working at UMF mesocosm facility.
Meet Tanguy Soulié, postdoc at the Uni. of Montpellier!
Funded via AQUASERV Transnational Access call, he'll use our #mesocosms to explore how macrophyte–plankton interactions shape Baltic coastal ecosystem responses to marine heatwaves! 🧪🦑🌊

Huge welcome to Gabriela Perna, from University of Edinburgh! Together with Prof. Sinéad Collins, she examines how light levels affect the survival and growth of #diatoms in artificial sea-ice vs. water, using small ice #mesocosms. 🧪🦑🌊❄️

🚨 #Ozone & bumblebees: what's the impact?
The #Mesocosms platform we are currently exploring how #airpollution shapes #pollinator physiology & behavior 🐝🌿Part of the collaborative #ANR #PolluCom project led by @magproffit.bsky.social @cnrsoccitanieest.bsky.social @anaeefrance.bsky.social #ecotron
🔬 New #Ecotron article just published in SBB! Nesting #microcosms inside #mesocosms reveal how #FunctionalDiversity of macrodetritivores affects litter mass loss. 🍂🪱 Spoiler: it matters!

#Biodiversity
#Microcosms and #Mesocosms experimental platforms completely taken over by the #ANR Pollucom project (@magproffit.bsky.social and her team from CNRS CEFE) studying #ozone effects on plant–pollinator interactions 🌼🐝 They’ve hijacked our meeting room too! Must be the AC 😅 @ecotron-cnrs.bsky.social
Excited to share the first article from the #Ecotron 's #Mesocosms platform! 🎉 Based on a 4+ year experiment manipulating soil macrofauna diversity in large #lysimeters under #drought. #Macrofauna matters!
Huge thanks to @UFZ_de & @CEFE_CNRS. More coming soon!

What a great first thing to do after my holidays: I am excited to share our newest paper in which we mimicked rainfall scenarios as nutrient and cDOM pulses of different frequency and intensity in #mesocosms and disentangled the effects on plankton #stoichiometry! doi.org/10.1002/lno.... @aslo.org
Figure 1 in Macaulay et al. (2025): "Conceptual diagram of grand ecological challenges in aquatic ecosystems, illustrating the interrelatedness of drivers of ecological change associated with climate change, biodiversity, land/sea use and pollution. When specific to lentic (still) freshwater, lotic (running) freshwater or marine systems, this is indicated by the presence of the respective symbol in the key. The absence of any symbol indicates that all aquatic ecosystems are affected by this in some way. Note, overexploitation (overfishing) and invasive alien species, considered as key drivers of environmental change (Dudgeon 2019, Diaz et al. 2019) are both included as biodiversity-related challenges."

10/10 I hope the ideas we share here will help to inspire new, solution-oriented research directions and provoke further thoughtful discussions among those looking to use mesocosm systems in their work!

In this week's #VOC lunch meeting PhD student Marta Contreras presented the results of her #mesocosms #drought #experiments and got feedback for her manuscript through a very interesting discussion
We are very excited to welcome Prof. Sinéad Collins from the University of Edinburgh! Through the 2-year UMF Borealis scholarship, she’ll use the #mesocosms @umeaunimarine.bsky.social to investigate which characteristics really make arctic #phytoplankton ”arctic”.
