With our rivers once more riding high in UK politics, I'm reminded again of this brilliant Grasshopper Geography map. A way of re-centring rivers in land and mind. Everyone lives in a watershed.

This study casts light on forested stream food webs in the tropics - the figure below references the trivariate approach first described by Cohen et al. (2003) for Tuesday Lake: the food web, average body sizes (here trophic level), and numerical abundance besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Fridays are for freshwater fieldwork!

#LoughNeagh research had its heyday in the mid-1970s to 2006. Since 2001 (14 papers) there has been an 86% decline in papers/yr and a 56% decrease in citations of all Lough Neagh publications since 2021 = Not much interest these days. 😪 #BlueGreenAlgae 🦠⚰️🕯️ Tommy Greene

#PhD opportunity with Annika Clements and I looking at the restoration of biogenic reefs in sea loughs in the face of climate change. Based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Please share with prospective students. Deadline 14th October. findaphd.com/?pj=174298

🚨 #LoughNeagh🚨 We need formal testing of animal carcasses and the blue-green algae's ecological impact on the food web. 🌊🦠☣️⚰️🕯️ bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Reminder that there are climate activists currently in jail for trying to raise awareness about exactly this

I'm looking for a 3-year postdoc to reconstruct food webs from environmental DNA and traditional approaches with fieldwork in Icelandic streams, Italian coastal lagoons, and the Celtic Sea. Part of a The Leverhulme Trust project with @stefanako71. Apply here: vacancies.essex.ac.uk/tlive_webrecru…

"Privatisation should never have happened. 35 years of complete waste. £68bn worth of debt, £78bn of dividends, money that could have been spent on our infrastructure and that wasn’t." - Tim Farron It’s time to put the public first and fix this broken system.

We've now heard all the (new) third year PhD student talks at the QUADRAT ASM! Featuring: CF3 pollutants, glacier snowline detection & balance, river biodiversity and nitrogen, diving Falkland shags, tetrapod (4 legs!) day v night extinction risk and bronze age reconstruction

This is bonkers. Just a few days ago Altnaharra was -19°C. Today it’s 13°C. Not only that, the Moray coast is currently the warmest spot in the whole of Europe, easily eclipsing Greece, Italy, and Spain.
