In the first part of the ‘Highlights of 2023’ series, we give our readers a glance of 3 most visited posts about scientific publications in this year.
Continue readingIn this blogpost, Jakob Wolfram talks about his recent study “Pesticide occurrence in protected surface waters in nature conservation areas of Germany”. In the study, he analyzed millions of records detailing the occurrence of pesticides in surface waters. The study showed that pesticides frequently occur in strictly protected nature conservation areas and could jeopardize their ecological integrity.
Continue readingIn this post, Marco Konschak reports on the recently published paper “Herbicide-Induced Shifts in the Periphyton Community Composition Indirectly Affect Feeding Activity and Physiology of the Gastropod Grazer Physella acuta”.
Continue readingThe INTERREG project ecoserv investigated the ecosystem services of protected areas and adjacent regions over a period of three years, and developed tools and strategies to maintain and improve them in the long term.
Continue readingThe Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is offering a 3-year PostDoc position in environmental toxicology for the REVEAL project: formation of small plastic particles in the environment and their bioavailability, accumulation, and impacts on aquatic species.
Continue readingIn this post, Matthias Liess (UFZ) and Verena Schreiner share the highlights of their recently published paper entitled “Pesticides are the dominant stressors for vulnerable insects in lowland streams”.
Continue readingThe Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) is hiring a PhD researcher in microbial community ecotoxicology as part of their stream biofilm research.
Continue readingThe European Training Network Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions and the Catalan Institute for Water Research are offering 15 PhD positions in the project “inventWater: Inventive forecasting tools for adapting water quality management to a new climate”.
Continue readingJakob Wolfram talks about how water quality in Europe is affected by spatial factors and how they contribute to quality impairments for different organism groups. His research on “Water Quality and Ecological Risks in European Surface Waters – Monitoring Improves While Water Quality Decreases” is published in Environment International.
Continue readingJakob Wolfram talks about how water quality in Europe changed over time for different species groups and identifies the actors responsible for the deteriorated water quality. His research on “Water Quality and Ecological Risks in European Surface Waters – Monitoring Improves While Water Quality Decreases” is published in Environment International.
