Do you fish in freshwater? Please share or/and complete our survey gathering data on observations of insects for our study on aquatic insect population declines! The link to our survey is here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/VXLMY89. Please share if you know anyone who might be interested in participating!

New study, where we experimentally tested the independent & combined impacts of microplastics & different temperature regimes on aquatic invertebrates, under the leadership of PhD Danielle Marchant, with @drdanperkins.bsky.social & @qmulrivercomms.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Physiological and behavioural responses of aquatic organisms to microplastics and experimental warming

Microplastics are an emerging contaminant of concern because of their potential to cause harm to aquatic biota, such as reproduction, growth, and surv…

Using 21 years of fish data from Brazil’s Upper Paraná River Floodplain, we show that the biomass of large native fish has declined, while large non-native species are thriving — leading to a >50% drop in fishery value. Great team and outstanding leadership by Dieison Moi!

PhD student Emma Brind presenting some of our latest research on the Hogsmill Restoration Project. Great to share our findings and contribute to the discussion on river restoration.

That was a cracking River Restoration Centre Conference! A standout moment: the video of @kneppwilding.bsky.social pigs holding their breath to forage on swan mussels. 🐷🌊 A surprising food web interaction!

Check out this amazing dataset! Size spectra are key for understanding community-level impacts of environmental change. Fragmented literature + nuances in the analyses have hindered direct comparisons within / across ecosystem types. This standardized, open-source dataset enables those comparisons 😊
