Electrofishing demonstration ba Florian Keil for our students.

Salamandra atra

A nice piece in the @freshwaterblog.bsky.social on our recent #beaver study.

Gosausee

Triturus carnifex, Geltung more abundant every year.

Corallorhiza trifida - have rarely seen it flowering.

Cypripedium calceolus - always great to see.

Back in Mondsee for a fieldtrip. Some plant and animal pictures ahead. Start with Bombina variegata.

Happy World Peatlands Day! Merlin offers the following webinar today on 2 June: Nicolas Grondard (WUR), Sien Kok (WUR/Deltares), Isabell Lenz (BfG) "Integrating ecosystem services in Cost-Benefit Analysis for freshwater restoration" 15:00 CEST project-merlin.eu/webinars.html #worldpeatlandsday

Does areal transport of pesticides result in relevant exposure? Surprisingly: yes! We found notable concentrations in streams without upstream agriculture. Mean exposure was explained by distance-weighted land use in the surrounding (radius of 50 km). doi.org/10.1016/j.wa...

Ich kann die Kritik von #ichbinHanna an der #ExStra nachvollziehen (@amreibahr.bsky.social), komme für mich aber zu einer anderen Bewertung.

Ich mag als schlechter Verlierer dastehen und ich stimme sicher auch nicht jeder Aussage zu - trotzdem ein Vergnügen, das zu lesen.

📻 We hear from four inspirational young scientists from @merlin-project.bsky.social who are helping restore Europe’s freshwaters. 🌊 The thread that runs throughout is the need for good communication in fostering positive change for the future. freshwaterblog.net/2025/05/26/m...

#ExStra (Symbolbild)

There is a new "Off-the-Shelf Instrument" on restoration financing from @merlin-project.bsky.social: Public-Private-Partnerships. Increasingly important.

So happy to see Dr. Eugènia Martí, great scientist and colleague from Catalonia, be inducted as SFS Fellow. So well deserved - an inspiration for us all! #SFS2025

We investigated how #riparian shading and #groundwater influx mitigate #lowflow and benthic invertebrates in lowland streams. The study highlights riparian management as a key tool for protecting stream ecosystems from droughts and related low-flow. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

How do #beaver activities modify #aquatic invertebrate communities? We published a first comprehensive quantification based on 188 habitat-specific invertebrate samples that yielded more than 82,000 individuals. One of our more important papers. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A magnificent book arrived.👌 Winfried Lampert's opus magnum on the waterflea Daphnia magna, four years after he passed away.🙏 A great pleasure to remember the fantastic time I had at his Max Planck Institute for Limnology, a privilege he mentored me during part of my PhD research👍

The latest #DamRemovalEurope report reveals that 2024 was another record-breaking year for dam removals, with 542 barriers removed across 23 European countries! Finland, France, and Spain led the way. Read more here: damremoval.eu/wp-content/u...

Great News: Our book Aquatic Parasitology: Ecological and Environmental Concepts and Implications of Marine and Freshwater Parasites has been published online open access! link.springer.com/book/10.1007... @nicojsmit.bsky.social @unidue.bsky.social

Check out our latest study, in @natureecoevo.bsky.social, where we applied size spectra to show community-level responses to human land-use & invasive fishes. Led by brilliant D. Moi, w/ @vssaito.bsky.social @drdanperkins.bsky.social @gqromero.bsky.social, et al. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌍 Europe is facing an exceptionally dry spring in 2025: 37 out of 38 countries covered by the @EEA have been hit by drought. To help track this growing threat, we’ve launched a new interactive drought map 🗺️— updated monthly & based on near real-time data: water.europa.eu/freshwater/e...
