Freshwater fish and invertebrates are underrepresented in thermal tolerance data.
We built ThermoFresh: >6800 records, >900 species in 5 languages. A key resource for studying thermal risks in freshwaters.

New paper by Martin Scheringer and Ralf Schulz: "The State of the World's Chemical Pollution".
link: doi.org/10.1146/annurev-envi…
The review covers pesticides and PFAS, and calls for a chemicals transition to reduce pollution impacts.
New article from our doctoral researcher @ Agnes Schöndorfer on the Long-term consequences of Bti applications on aquatic insect emergence published in the Journal: Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety.
Here is the link to the publication: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
How do artificial light at night and invasive signal crayfish impact spiders in riparian habitats? Find out in our new publication in Global Ecology and Conservation! doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2025…

New @SystemlinkG article by @alessandro_manf on the influence of Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) on aquatic Diptera subsidies. – at Fiumicino, Lazio
❗️New article: Artificial Light at Night (ALAN) reduces the abundance of emerging aquatic Diptera and can attract adults from distances up to 1800 m, with attraction being taxa- and sex-dependent.

This week, the Scientific Writing Workshop is taking place at the @rptu_kl_ld with @alessandro_manf guiding five doctoral candidates through the process of writing their first complete manuscript draft in a highly interactive way, inspired by @tom64fisch's approach.
Another publication from our former doctoral researcher Dr. Verena Gerstle (@GerstleVerena), and other @SystemlinkG researchers, on the trophic effects of Bti on newts and dragonflies in pond ecosystems.

We should have many more events like these where science intersects with public and art
What an inspiring concert from the @TheaterAugsburg on WATER and Climate Changes! It was a privilege to be part of this unique event, where the public and music met science. Thanks for your presence, Jürgen K. Enninger @bayernkreativ.

🔬 Update: @SystemlinkG researcher @alessandro_manf with G.A. López Moreira M. and co-authors have conducted theoretical modelling on how stressors impact chironomids across multiple generations.

🚨 NEWS: "Theoretical modelling of the effects of stressors on chironomid populations over multiple generations!"

Here is the link to the manuscript (50 days free access)

ALT • Model predicts Chironomidae response across generations, stages, and latitudes. • Emergence reduction stronger with prevalence of early-instar larvae. • Emergence reduction twice as severe in the 2nd year of Bti application. • Model adaptable to other insects, chemicals, latitudes via adjusted parameterisation.

The research, conducted through laboratory microcosm experiments, found that while chironomid larvae bioturbation did not significantly affect CH₄ emissions, biocide treatment resulted in higher emissions, suggesting a complex interaction between biotic factors and chemicals
