Our new #OpenAccess study shows a 64% drop in #fish species richness in SW Germany’s #rivers vs. historical reference. Dams, climate shifts & invasives drive the change. We propose a new Species Deviation Index that captures gains & losses #Freshwater #Conservation link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Site-specific survey and reference data reveal drivers of fish community diversity changes in southwest Germany - Hydrobiologia

Despite efforts to minimize human impact on rivers, native teleost fish and lamprey species communities in Germany remain threatened. The aim of the study was to quantify current species diversity in ...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

🕒 TTRPG friends — I made a free app to track Progress Clocks for Blades in the Dark!
Create & manage multiple clocks with custom colors and segments.
Great for GMs running digital or hybrid games.

Our new paper in @ecosistemas-aeet.bsky.social shows that genetic data confirms the non-native status of Austropotamobius crayfish in Spain, despite repeatedly published claims of the contrary
Since it is in Spanish, we provide an English version in this link digital.csic.es/handle/10261...

What’s driving the change?
🚧 Dams & barriers
🌡️ Climate change
🏙️ Land use & invasives species

We propose a new Species Deviation Index (SDev) that captures both losses and gains of native species offering a clearer picture of riverine fish community change.

Sites with high deviation often align with human pressure points:

Today we sampled cormorant stomachs at Lake Constance to assess their impact on #native #fish species.
