Freshwater and Invasion Biology Laboratory (FIB)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from FIB Lab! 🦀🎄🐟

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2023 FIBbers 👏🏻🥳🙌🏻

First paper!!! 🥳🍻 @DarrenCJYeo @mendoza_jce and I described a #newspecies of #freshwater crab from Thailand, the first description of the genus 𝘚𝘦𝘵𝘰𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯 in 30 years. New paper here (open access) 🔗lkcnhm.nus.edu.sg/wp-content/upl… @lkcnhm , @FIB_NUS

Gave my talk today on my student’s work on #microplastics in #freshwater #lakes #canals in Singapore! Enjoyed myself very much. Excited to have a microplastics session for the next #psfbe2022 @FIB_NUS thanks for the pics guys!

First day of #psfbe2022 🥳🥳 happy to be back in Manila! #tropical glad to see all the #freshwater colleagues in Southeast Asia! @SIL_limnology

First empirical food web/trophic models of Singapore reservoir communities of nonnative and native fishes. New paper by @FIB_NUS members past & present in @BioDataJournal: doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.10… @lkcnhm @ClareWilkinso16 @RaysonLim2 @jiahuanliew @JeffreyKwik @ClaudiaTan_LY

New Lecturer position in #ecology #biodiversity #environment position in my Department! Come join us 🥳 @NUSingapore @FIB_NUS If you know of anyone who is looking to teach after their phd, send this to them! #lecturer #jobseekers #academia

Congratulations to our PhD student Rayson for successfully defending his thesis! Congrats again Dr. Lim! 🥳🙌

Yay! I just finished my first public talk! Thank you @nlbsingapore for the invitation! I love talking about #plankton #algae #zooplankton #phytoplankton @FIB_NUS @NUSingapore

Urban odonates showing high feeding response at low prey density and size-selective predation can potentially be used as predators of mosquito larvae in urban environments. By @FIB_NUS alumni, Marcus Choo and Low Bi Wei, in collaboration with @RobinNgiam. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Macrophytes in turbid tropical lake mesocosms induced phytoplankton community shifts, demonstrating their potential for use in lake restoration in the tropics. New paper in @HYDR_Springer by @FIB_NUS alumni, @darsssim, @maxinemowe, @SYiluan, and others. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

For just 0.1% of GDP each year we can solve the climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis and prevent land degradation. As a bonus, the world could also avoid the breakdown of natural ecosystem “services” such as clean water, food and flood protection. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Interested in hearing about how women can succeed in academia? Come join us for a short workshop! Thanks to the team at @NUSingapore Biological Sciences for inviting me to share my journey! @FIB_NUS #research #STEM #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience

Some traits predicting establishment of nonnative freshwater fishes in Singapore reflect differences between tropical and temperate freshwater ecosystems. New paper in @plosone by @FIB_NUS alumni, @_JoleenChan and @yiwen1987. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

YAY! My Hons thesis is out!! We found #urban water conditions amplify the predatory impact of #nonnative M. nipponense, highlighting the importance of habitat #conservation doi.org/10.1007/s10530… @BioInvasions @ClaudiaTan_LY @yiwen1987 @DarrenCJYeo @FIB_NUS #functionalresponse

FIB Lab wishes everyone a Happy CNY and a (belated) International Day of Women & Girls in Science! The Lab thanks the wonderful, inspiring women, past and present that made the amazing work the lab does possible :) #WomenInScience #IDWGS2021 #YearOfTheOx #WomenInSTEM

Can rehabilitation change the urban river? @FIB_NUS Trophic Team found that both the abiotic parameters & fish community differs between the naturalized river & unrehabilitated canal sections, with higher richness & % of natives in the former. Read it at: doi.org/10.1016/j.ecol…
