Interested in multi-trophic population trends from decadal long time series in the Wadden Sea? I will give a talk on Friday at #OSM26 about the approach behind our recent paper on synthesizing population trends: tinyurl.com/2tbs5j83 🦀🐟🦠🐤 Excited to discuss with you afterwards!

Happy to announce a short perspective piece as part of a SynCom @helmholtz.de working group. Discussing the breadth of biodiversity indicators, we encourage to differentiate better between multidimensional diagnosis, leading steering & actionable management indicators dx.doi.org/10.1002/2688... 🧪

Operational perspectives for biodiversity indicators

To understand, measure and mitigate biodiversity change, science and policy need to differentiate between diagnostic indicators that capture as many different biodiversity facets as needed, outcome-o...

🌈🌊Ein Leben im Regenbogen: Phytoplankton ist die Nahrungsgrundlage für zahlreiche Lebewesen. Die Lichtfarbe ist für die Mikroalgen & das Ökosystem See entscheidender als angenommen, wie eine neue Studie der Uni Oldenburg & Greifswald zeigt: https://ugreif.de/bjhn9 @sebastianneun.bsky.social​

I am thrilled to share our new study which has just come out in @journalofecology.bsky.social! We show how the wavelength spectrum of #light shapes #phytoplankton communities, and associated consequences for trophic transfer. Light spectrum matters! 🌈🌊 #livinginarainbow ➡️ doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Light spectrum matters: Interactive effects of light and nutrients on phytoplankton communities and trophic transfer

Happy to share my final PhD chapter on the simultaneous effects of global change and heatwaves on North Sea protists! It was a pleasure to be a part of this amazing mesocosm project 🙌 aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Concurrent global change and marine heatwaves disturb phototrophic more than heterotrophic protist diversity

Anthropogenic pressures like ocean warming, acidification, rising N : P ratios, and marine heatwaves (MHWs) are affecting eukaryotic plankton diversity, though their combined impacts are rarely studi...

My first post is finally here: I am very excited to share our newest paper in Ecology where we present the temperature-dependent effect of multiple resources on #phytoplankton growth, using gradients of temperatures, light and nutrients. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

What a great first thing to do after my holidays: I am excited to share our newest paper in which we mimicked rainfall scenarios as nutrient and cDOM pulses of different frequency and intensity in #mesocosms and disentangled the effects on plankton #stoichiometry! doi.org/10.1002/lno.... @aslo.org

Nutrient pulse scenarios drive contrasting patterns in the functional stability of freshwater phytoplankton

Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and stochasticity of extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, storm-induced mixing, or prolonged drought periods. This results in more var...
