Ellie Mackay Action for the River Kennet (ARK) Riverfly Partnership #Podcast : We promised a photo of a cased caddisfly from the river Kennet. This larva has used little bits of gravel to make its case.
There are ~200 species of cased caddis. If water quality goes down, numbers of caddis and other riverflies will plummet.

Giulio Biondi Tim Sykes ventured deep into nooks and crannies across the South Downs to bother aquatic invertebrates lurking in our hidden headwaters, then Jamal Kabir ๐ฆ Dr Kieran Gething found the story in the data: specialist species galore! Great to see this out ๐๐ป

Fantastic work Teresa Silverthorn : another excellent piece from her #Phd INRAE Lyon-Grenoble Auvergne-Rhรดne-Alpes EcoFlowS, demonstrating how #DryingRiverNetworks contribute to C cycling and CO2 evasion. Nice collaboration with colleagues from Drying River Networks and Climate Change. Stay tuned for her upcoming PhD defence!

'Winterbournes are the powerhouse of our chalkstreams. The moment they start to flow water species colonise and drift downstream to supply the whole river system with new organisms; the moment they dry they become an entirely new habitat.' Well said Charlotte Hitchmough Action for the River Kennet (ARK)!
