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

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

One of our weird discoveries: 1st field-documented case of a zebra mussel attached to a fish (lake chub). This phoretic association could facilitate 1) within-basin spread of zebra mussels via fish migration & 2) overland transport by anglers moving baitfish. redpath-staff.mcgill.ca/ricciardi/Ri...

Hey #FieldWork people from BlueSky!
I'm looking for a camera for field work. Should be tough, easy to operate and with decent macro skills. Also shouldn't break the bank.
Wanna share some options?

Want to be added? Which ones? Leave a comment here.
I know there's already an "Ecology and Conservation" feed. I don't intend to compete. I'll be encouraging people to join and contribute to both feeds.
Please share! Gracias! 😸
