📢 New paper out on the effects of Arundo donax on riverine fish. Functional diversity incl invasive non-native fish decreases but positive effects on native taxonomic richness and body condition sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Urgent measures are needed to address environmental contamination by veterinary antibiotics, new research suggests environment.ec.europa.eu/news/urgent-me…

Unexpected ecological role of a widely distributed fish species

📢NEW paper: We reveal the explosive growth of ornamental fish trade since WWII! Over 7900 species now traded, dominated by catfish, cichlids, killifish & characids. We explores this boom through a socio-economic lens since the end of the Cold War: shorturl.at/RBBC3

⚠️Les espècies invasores amenacen la biodiversitat. Quins perills tenen? Es poden frenar? Ho debatem amb Montserrat Vilà @iec, Xavier Turon #CEAB i Cristina Sáez @saez_cristina @diariARA 📆18/02, 17:30h 📍 @iec Aquí tota la informació 👇 ceab.csic.es/agenda/quines-…

Fa dues setmanes va sortir a la llum l’actualització de l’Índex Planeta Viu de Catalunya (LPI-Cat), que permet veure com han evolucionat les poblacions d’animals salvatges a Catalunya durant els últims 21 anys. Sabíeu que podeu veure totes les tendències de les 353 espècies?🧵

🚨 Les poblacions d’#animals salvatges a #Catalunya han disminuït un 28% en 21 anys 🚨 Hem actualitzat l’Índex de Planeta Viu a Catalunya. Voleu saber què ens diu aquesta actualització? Dins fil! 🧵👇

"Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology ..are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss...". Discussió molt rellevant per les nostres universitats on lluitem constantment per mantenir les pràctiques de camp! @UniBarcelona @IRBioUB

The actionable threats by managers are well-known. Time to take action: 🗣: "Among freshwater decapods, fishes and odonates, 54% of threatened species are considered to be affected by #pollution, 39% by #dams and water extraction, 37% by #land-use #change"

Worrying last IUCN report. Really want to save our freshwater fishes? Focus on #habitat #restoration! 🏞🐟💧. The master solution to the issue. Good water quality and healthy habitats are key. Nature will do the rest if native fish can swim freely nature.com/articles/s4158…

Un event magnífic organitzat per gent fantàstica. Contents de formar part de la família Urban River Lab.

We are looking for a research fellow to work with us on a project that aims to quantify the value of commercial fisheries and angling in Portugal in freshwater ecosystems. Please take a look at @MAREscience ipsantarem.pt/wp-content/upl…

Did you know...? Many copepods, small marine crustaceans that form plankton, have a single eye 👁️, called a naupliar eye, located anterodorsally on their body. This eye is the result of the juxtaposition of three simple eyes that, together, function as a single unit.

🌧️ #NoticiaIRBio La #DANA no només provoca danys materials, també altera els #ecosistemes i incrementa el risc de plagues. Els canvis en #hàbitats afavoreixen espècies de cicle de vida ràpid com el mosquit 🦟 o la rata 🐀augmentant el risc de transmissió de #malalties. 👇
