I am happy to announce that #mobr v2.0.0 is on #CRAN! Thank you to my package coauthors: Dr. Xiao Xiao Brian McGill, Felix May, @ThoreEngel, Caroline Oliver, Shane Blowes, Tiffany Knight, Oliver Purschke, Nicholas Gotelli, and @Jon_Chase88.

Welcome to the lab, Irene Tornero ! Today, Irene introduced us to her work on Mediterranean pond metacommunities. Looking forward to working together in ponds and mesocosms in Hungary!

Do you want to learn how to set up and run an experiment, analyze data, new opportunities? Free your calendar: April 25-29, 2022 AQUACOSM-plus Spring School Registration opens soon! Meanwhile, you can still apply to participate in an experiment: ta.aquacosm.eu

I would be also happy to host a PhD student or Postdoc. Community ecology / aquatic ecology / limnology / plankton ecology. Can offer lab and office space, guest room and possibly also a bit of funding #ScienceForUkraine

Phase one of preparing the sampling kits is complete! Look at how many boxes we have!🐸 mypond.hu/kerdoiv mypond.hu #természet #pond #kistó #kert #garden #kertitó #gardenpond #citizenscience #research

Our lab is preparing the eDNA kits to be posted soon to participants of our citizen science project. Hundreds of urban ponds are waiting to be sampled!! Andrew Hamer Barta Barbara Csaba Vad Szabó Beáta @EdemFirp

While our team has already sampled more than 60 ponds of Budapest over the past two weeks, our citizen scientists are also busy sampling their own ponds in parallel - the first eDNA kits have just arrived back to the lab!

Ready for the AQUACOSM spring school!!!

55 participants from 17 countries!

Pls RT! I am looking for a MSc student to do their thesis research on a project with @ecoqueen and Thomas Scheuerl about microbial communities in aquatic #urbanecology at #limnomondsee @[email protected] and Salzburg Environment and Biodiversity. Possibility of marginal employment for 2 months!

Check out our new paper, it's hot & crispy! 🦆

One of our AQUACOSM-plus mesocosm systems is almost ready and waiting for the new experiment! Zsófia Horváth Csaba Vad Adam Fierpasz Zsuzsi Márton Barta Barbara Irene Tornero Thu-Hương Huỳnh Varsha Rani

Can regional biodiversity buffer against heatwaves? Check our new preprint resulting from AQUACOSM Transnational Access. Great teamwork!! Robert Ptacnik KratinaLab @SofieSpatharis Mia M. Bengtsson 💙💛 et al.

Check out our new paper about environmental changes affecting microbial communities of soda pans!Conductivity was one of the most important environmental factor, the dry spring was really different! Zsófia Horváth Csaba Vad Szabó Beáta Karoly Palffy nature.com/articles/s4159…

If you're interested in mesocosm experiments focusing on habitat fragmentation & climate change, join our team Zsófia Horváth Csaba Vad Thu-Hương Huỳnh Karoly Palffy Zsuzsi Márton Barta Barbara Varsha Rani Adam Fierpasz in July! AQUACOSM call is available: aquacosm.eu/transnational-…

Mesocosm crew are here! Ready to kick off the hot experiment☀️☀️☀️

Celebrating the end of our AQUACOSM Transnational Access, where we had a lovely team of international guests here for the course of two months, producing exciting data in a mesocosm experiment with us!

New paper from our group about heatwave effects on plankton community structure, using a mesocosm approach. I have a feeling we are still scratching the surface of what we can expect in the long run. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Thu-Hương Huỳnh Csaba Vad Zsófia Horváth Szabó Beáta

Excited to share our new study on how connectivity loss in pond networks impacts microbial biodiversity published in Global Change Biology ! See the details here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc… Váczy-Földi Máté Zsófia Horváth Csaba Vad Thu-Hương Huỳnh Zsuzsi Márton Karoly Palffy
