@epcn.bsky.socialNew research across 206 #European #ponds shows that greater #biodiversity is associated with greater #ecosystem #multifunctionality. #Zooplankton richness was particularly important, while nutrient enrichment linked to intensive cropland reduced multiple #ecosystemfunctions.
@epcn.bsky.socialNew research from #Poland shows contrasting responses of plankton to human pressure in urban #ponds.
#Zooplankton richness declined with human impact, while #phytoplankton increased in abundance, highlighting the value of multiple groups for assessing #biodiversity.
@monitoringzentrum.bsky.socialNächste Woche in unserer #Onlinevortragsreihe beleuchtet Dr. Silke Laakmann vom @hifmb.de und @awi.de die #eDNA-basierte Erfassung von #Zooplankton im marinen #Monitoring von Nord- und Ostsee.

@epcn.bsky.socialA new study finds that #agricultural landscapes can reduce #zooplankton hatching rates in #temporaryponds. Highly impacted ponds showed lower hatching rates and diversity, highlighting how land-use pressure can affect dormant communities and their resilience.
@maremadeira.bsky.socialFieldwork for the #FCT-funded #LANTERN project has already begun!
In a collaboration involving designers, engineers, and biologists, researchers from MARE-Madeira, supported by specialists from AIR Centre and NTNU, are developing light traps to study #zooplankton in Madeira's coastal waters.
@julia-k-trk.bsky.socialCopepods have nauplius larvae - now showing the first movements after hatching; it is one of the most frequent event in fresh-water and sea. #Zooplankton from the Danube
@julia-k-trk.bsky.socialCopepods may account for 45–95% of the mediterranean #zooplankton. CIII copepodid stage of a Temora species from the neritic waters of the northern Adriatic Sea. #Invertebrates
