Very excited that our lab is working in South Africa again as part of @BuntuFanteso's PhD! #ecology #KRUGERNATIONALPARK
A successful final day of sampling in and around Kruger National Park in South Africa with the Aquatic Systems Research Group from @UniMpumalanga. We spent the week collecting samples for #foodweb and #microplastic analysis. @TatendaDalu @MichCJackson @chinomukutu

The latest #IPCC report is asking us to act and adapt.
Restored and maintained wetland ecosystems are humanity's ultimate buffer against the increasing droughts, floods and storms that are exacerbated by climate change.
Join us in safeguarding and restoring wetlands.

Today, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will publish its latest #ClimateReport.
270 scientists from 67 countries will identify how #ClimateChange impacts people and ecosystems.
🗣️ "But wait a minute, what is the #IPCC?"

Interested in #microplastics in freshwater ecosystems? My student @G_DAvignon published a review of the significance of microplastics to limnology: cdnsciencepub.com/doi/pdf/10…. We suggest limnologists should integrate microplastics ("plaston") into their standard sampling protocols.

Freshwater Ecologists: do you have a paper that you want to get more attention? @PSUecosystems Limnology undergrads will make podcasts using *short* (<20 min) interviews with paper authors. I will tweet the podcasts and paper url. Sign up here: forms.gle/v51NQhMkzqG7EYPP6. Plz RT!

Reason why this map is receiving media attention: It shatters the myth of Antarctica as a remote region largely unaffected by human transportation systems. In fact, the region is well connected to the global network that shuttles species across the planet. newsweek.com/antarctica-ship…

If Holly (Ilex aquifolium) finds its leaves are being nibbled by deer, it switches genes on to make them spiky when they regrow. So on taller Holly trees, the upper leaves (which are out of reach) have smooth edges, while the lower leaves are prickly 🤙

An illustration of the capacity for plastic debris to transport marine species across potentially long distances to nonnative regions. Ocean rafting has been transformed from a natural to a largely anthropogenic dispersal process.

New #GlobalWetlandOutlook shows an unprecedented decline in the world’s #wetlands - with 35% 🌎 loss since 1970.
But protection, wise use, and restoration do work – with @RamsarConv protected Wetlands of Intl Importance faring higher in quality + extent.
