Connection to the sea and flooding mediate the abundance of a threatened cyprinodontiform and invasive mosquitofish in a Mediterranean saltmarsh
The fish assemblages of small Mediterranean coastal lagoons remain understudied, despite their importance for biodiversity and ecological functioning.…

Lamentable: hay info suficiente lo que falta es voluntad para afrontar problemas difíciles pero importantes. Por desgracia, los intereses económicos de unos pocos siempre pasan por los problemas ambientales de tod@s 🥲 www.elperiodico.com/es/politica/...

Las autonomías frenan la declaración de la anguila como especie en peligro
Los gobiernos de las comunidades han reclamado realizar más seguimientos y tener más datos científicos antes de prohibir su pesca y consumo

El rotundo informe para proteger a la angula: “Existe un consenso generalizado sobre su estado crítico”
El comité científico encargado de analizar el estado de esta especie en España advierte sobre la “sobrepesca”, pero Galicia y Asturias rechazan vetar su captura

🧵1/9 There are 35,000+ fish species, but we have formal social-behaviour classifications for a tiny fraction. Most knowledge lives in the experience of researchers, fishers, divers, aquarists, naturalists, and Indigenous communities, but almost none of it is centralised. So we built ShoalBase.org.

How is soil functioning shaped by aridity? 🌲🌵 We studied this along a natural aridity gradient. 📌 Microbial structure shifted with aridity, but soil functions were mainly driven by local soil properties. 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.ap... Huge thanks to all coauthors 🫶
