Happy to announce that our study just came out in #GlobalChangeBiology! 🎉A global assessment of how land-cover changes influence freshwater #biodiversity and food-web dyamics!💧🍂A call for global freshwater protection! 🌍 Thanks to all the co-authors!  doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70…

🚨🚨🚨Two fully funded positions here in our research group on animal networks 🐞🪲🐜🕷️ in Hamburg🇩🇪: biologie.uni-hamburg.de/en/forschung/o… Deadline is next week!

Check out this cool blog post about our latest findings on the linkages between #riparian #forests and #streams! 🍂🏞️

100% of #PhD done!! #PhDone #phdlife

I'm excited (and of course a little bit nervous) to defend my PhD on "the role of #riparian #forests for #aquaticterrestrial linkages, #ecosystemfunctions, and #biodiversity in stream #foodwebs" this Friday! 🎉 DM me if you would like to attend the presentation over zoom.

It is official. We found the first confirmed specimens of the #invasive quagga mussel in lake #Zürich. It looks like it is still rare, but already widespread. #aquaticecology

JETZT WICHTIG: Die Abstimmung zur #Biodiversitätsinitiative wird gemäss Umfragen sehr knapp ausgehen. Die Mobilisierung ist jetzt absolut entscheidend! Kontaktiere noch heute alle deine Bekannten – sei es per Mail, WhatsApp oder Telefon – und motiviere sie, abzustimmen. Danke!

Last Tuesday, together with colleagues from @EawagResearch & @WSL_research, I had the pleasure to attend and the honour to moderate the #BGBInitiative final conference. This was a great opportunity to once again hear about everything that #BlueGreenBiodiversity has achieved 1/2

I've just handed in my PhD thesis🎉🎉🎉

🎉 NEW PAPER OUT! We studied #stream #foodwebs 🍂🦠🦐and found that riparian #forests are key for diet and #trophic interactions in terms of #stoichiomety and #stableisotopes. doi.org/10.1111/1365-2… Thanks for the great supervision by @andibruder and @altermatt_lab !

I have an internship open in my group: apply.refline.ch/673277/1178/pu… The prerequisite for the application is enrollment at a university or college over the entire period of employment (i.e. in a bachelor's or master’s degree program in progress but not yet completed).

Great field day with @FCerroti! For her project, we sampled water-filled tree holes and looked at the #bugs inhabiting these interesting #ecosystems! Stay tuned for her super cool first results soon! 🤩

What a great day today @UZH_en at the Science and Nature festival teaching people from young to old how interesting, cool and so close aquatic biodiversity can be! 🐚🦐🐸 Judging by the number of happy faces, wet boots and critters collected, people seemed to enjoy it a lot!

🗓️ Experience research up close and personal: On Saturday 8 June, the Science and Nature Festival will take place on UZH’s Irchel Campus. Visitors can get inspired by the world of science for an entire afternoon. The entry is free: news.uzh.ch/en/articles/ne… @UZH_Science
