.Dr Issie Barrett - a stressor acting in an opposite direction to the environmental filter could help destabilize a degraded community & facilitate restoration @UCNZbiology @BioHeritage_NZ #UC_FERG #NZFSS2018

Dr Issie Barrett @BioHeritage_NZ rocks the rainbows(again!) to show how she is testing and disentangling how environmental filters shape healthy vs degraded stream communities 🌈🌊🐌 #Resistance #Resilience #Restoration #NZFSS2018

Testing #resistance #resilience theory in stream #restoration is messy in the real world! E.Graham @BioHeritage_NZ @niwa_nz explores distance-based metrics to compare long term forest restoration sites in NZ 🌳💦 #Thoughts ? 🤔

#ResistanceIsFutile or is it? @ProfRossatUC unpacks why governments care & want to maintain/enhance #resistance and #resilience in Australian river food webs 🐸 🐟💦#NZFSS2018 #SpecialSession

.Channell Thoms updates the current status of kākahi (freshwater mussels) in Canterbury Waitaha waterways as their suitability as a restoration tool NZFSS Rōpū Māori #NZFSS2018

Constantly reminded that I’m driving the terrestrial ecology truck because every time I turn the blower on I get showered with leaves 🙄🍂🍂🍂 #justfieldworkthings @UCNZbiology

Perks of #fieldwork in #NewZealand - an evening stroll up the Hawdon ✨

#NZFSS2018 What a conference! It took Team #UC_FERG a minute to recover! #CONGRATULATIONS to #ECRs Dr Katie Collins & Dr Issie Barrett for winning #BestPoster ! And to #ChrisMeijer for winning #BestTalk !! 😃🙌🏾 Couldn’t be more proud of their hard work & awesome #SciComm 👍🏽@UCNZbiology

#tbt #NZFSS2018 last week when this bunch of talented freshwater ecologists took off their waders & scrubbed themselves up to “walk the red carpet” ❤️

We all know about the kiwi and the kākāpō, but what iconic species are lurking beneath the surface of our rivers and streams? 🦞🐌 Find out with river ecologist Dr Issie Barrett University of Canterburybiology @UCNZ 👉bit.ly/inverts-nz #WorldRiversDay

Next time you find yourself near a waterway, reach in and pick up a cobble. Turn it over, and you might just make some little aquatic friends! Awesome article Dr Issie Barrett @UCNZbiology

Excited to see this published today! Help Department of Conservation @niwa_nz assess #FishPassage barriers by downloading and using the Fish Passage Assessment Tool 🐟🐟🐟

Very happy to get this one out! Thanks to all who shared data, time, brain power and moral support 💪🏼🧠
